Book Synopsis The Measurement of Pilot Performance by : Earl S. Stein
Download or read book The Measurement of Pilot Performance written by Earl S. Stein. This book was released on 1984. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project evaluated several methods for measuring pilot performance in a general aviation simulator and examined the relationship between performance and workload. An Automated Performance Measurement (APM) system was designed for use in a flight simulator which was instrumented for digital data collection. Performance rating was accomplished by three independent observers. Workload was assessed using a real-time subjective input system with which pilots provided workload estimates every minute. Two groups of pilots participated in the experiment: ten professional high-time pilots and ten recently qualified instrument pilots. Both the APM and the observer ratings showed significant performance differences between the two pilot groups. The automated technique showed more of a spread, however, among individuals in the professional (masters) group. The newly qualified pilots (journeymen) reported significantly higher workload than their masters counterparts and their performance was significantly worse.

Book Synopsis Application of Adaptive Mathematical Models to a T-37 Pilot Performance Measurement Problem by : Edward M. Connelly
Download or read book Application of Adaptive Mathematical Models to a T-37 Pilot Performance Measurement Problem written by Edward M. Connelly. This book was released on 1971. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report documents experimental research on a new method of deriving performance measures and criteria for use in automated pilot performance evaluation. Data recorded on board a T-37B aircraft (tail number 58-1948) were submitted to a previously implemented system of adaptive mathematical models (AMM). The results were analyzed to determine the practical capability of the AMM in automatically deriving measures and criteria. Flight data for a series of performances of the Lazy 8 and Barrel Roll maneuvers were processed first by a set of Boolean functions. These functions describe the data in the form of Boolean time sequences (BTS), which are then operated upon by the AMM to derive three types of performance measures: (1) State Transfer Measures, which are based on overall trends in the performance; (2) Absolute Measures, which are based on a comparison of actual performance with some reference; and (3) Relative Measures, which are based on relations among performance variables. The results show that the AMM system can be used to effect a systematic attack on the problems of performance measurement using representative flight data. Face-validity of measures derived by the AMM is illustrated by comparison with performance evaluations made by an instructor pilot. (Author).

Book Synopsis Pilot Oriented Performance Measurement by : J. De Maio
Download or read book Pilot Oriented Performance Measurement written by J. De Maio. This book was released on 1983. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight simulators provide a complete quantitative record of a pilot's flying performance. Evaluating this record is complicated by the volume of data and by its fine detail, dozens of flight parameters, sampled many times per second. Automated performance measurement systems (APMS) reduce the volume of data to an amount which is manageable and understandable. The usual APMS is aircraft state oriented. The APMS keys on aircraft state (e.g., X-Y position, bank angle) to define intervals over which performance data are integrated. This PAMS is relatively insensitive to pilots' intentions and so may average performances which had differing objectives, based only on their having occurred at the same point during the task sequence. An alternative APMS has been developed which is piloted oriented. This APMS defines measurement intervals based on control inputs. Control inputs are identified by discrete changes in flight path. These intervals are psychologically relevant in that they begin with a goal-directed control input and end with a countervailing input. By relating performance in the pilot defined intervals to state defined intervals, it is possible to quantify performance on given flight segments (e.g., a level turn), and to specify factors which lead to a given level of performance.
