An experiment was conducted in the TNO-TM flight simulator to investigate which manner of information presentation is most effective in helping pilots to locate target jets. Twelve pilots had to follow a target jet that suddenly disappeared and reappeared at a random spot somewhere around the own jet. The task of the pilot was to get the target jet as fast as possible in front of the own jet. They ...
The sensitivity of physiological measures to mental workload has been investigated in a flight simulator. Twelve pilots had to fly through a tunnel with different Levels of difficulty. Additionally, they had to perform a memory task with four levels of difficulty. The easiest memory task was combined with the easiest tunnel task and the most difficult memory task with the most difficult tunnel task. Between each tunnel session, subjects had ...
Under contract to the Royal Netherlands Airforce, the TNO Human Factors Research Institute conducts background research concerning effects of advanced interface principles in the cockpit on flight performance, (des) orientation and workload. In this connection, a simulator experiment was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of predictive information for tracking targets. Eight fighter pilots had to trace as soon as possible a target aircraft, initially flying from an arbitrary position ...
