Determination of Sensitive Measures of Pilot Workload as a Function of the Type of Piloting Task

Abstract

The purpose of our present work, is to examine the sensitivity, intrusion, and transferability of a variety of workload assessment techniques. The study will use four different simulated piloting tasks, emphasizing psychomotor, perceptual, mediational, and communications aspects. Pilot loading levels will be systematically adjusted. Our simulation facility is a GAT-1B that has been modified and instrumented for workload estimation techniques measurement. The flight simulator itself has three degrees of physical motion and a full complement of IFR instruments.
