A Study of Task Loading Using a Three Man Crew on a KC-135 Aircraft.

Abstract

A series of flight tests were conducted to assess the feasibility of reducing crew size on KC-135 from 4 to 3. A dual INS was installed in the test aircraft, and refueling missions flown task times of crew performing duties were recorded. Subjects also completed questionnaires. It was concluded that on several types of missions a three man crew leads to extremely high workloads. (Author)
