Statistical Analysis of Helicopter Pilot Performance during Instrument Flight Across Repeated Flights.

Abstract

Data from week-long simulated extended operations study were examined with respect to methodological issues associated with the assessment of helicopter pilot performance (including visual performance) and the potential impact of extended flight schedules on pilot performance. No significant changes in pilot performance over the week of extended operations were found. Methodological issues are discussed and recommendations for future studies are offered.

No significant changes in pilot performance over the week of extended operations were found. Methodological issues are discussed and recommendations for future studies are offered. Originator-supplied key words include: Performance (Human), Instrument flight, Fatigue, Eye movements, and Helicopter pilot performance.
