Book Pilot Performance and Heart Rate During In Flight Use of a Compact Instrument Display

Download or read book Pilot Performance and Heart Rate During In Flight Use of a Compact Instrument Display written by A. Howard Hasbrook and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instrument panels in many general aviation aircraft are becoming increasingly crowded, presenting the pilot with an instrument scanning problem. Because most aircraft instruments require use of central (foveal) vision, the pilot must look directly at each instrument to obtain needed information, taking time that may not be available during an instrument approach to published minimums. It was thought that the problems of adequate scanning of the instruments might be alleviated by reducing and changing the size of certain instruments and utilizing the pilot's peripheral vision. An in-flight study of pilot performance was conducted while using an experimental instrument display. The display was used in flight by low-time and high-time professional pilots. The major findings of this study indicate that pilot performance with the high-contrast instrument display, which employs a vertical and horizontal format and occupies substantially less space than conventional instruments, is equal to pilot performance with conventional instruments, in spite of little familiarization time and without regard to pilot experience. No difference in stress (as measured by heart rate) was evident between the experimental and conventional displays. Subjective reaction of the pilot-subjects to the new type display was favorable. Panel space requirements can be reduced by at least 25 percent by use of the design concepts outlined in this study. (Author).

Book Pilot Heart Rate During In flight Simulated Instrument Approaches in a General Aviation Aircraft

Download or read book Pilot Heart Rate During In flight Simulated Instrument Approaches in a General Aviation Aircraft written by A. Howard Hasbrook and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight instrument rated pilots with flying experience ranging from 600 to 12,271 hours each flew 10 simulated ILS instrument approaches in a single engine, general aviation aircraft equipped with a primary flight display arranged in conventional 'T' configuration. Continuous heart rate data were recorded during each approach. Approaches were flown consecutively at approximate 10-minute intervals, with a 1-minute in-flight rest period prior to each approach. Principal findings were: heart rate increased significantly during each approach; mean increase in heart rate during the approaches was 5.2 beats per minute (BPM) and was of a relatively constant magnitude for each of the 10 approaches; and the overall mean heart rate level decreased on successive approaches for a total of 11.0 BPM for the 10 approaches. The results are discussed in terms of responses to stress introduced by the demands of the task.

Book Stress and Performance Effectiveness

Download or read book Stress and Performance Effectiveness written by Earl A. Alluisi and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982. This is Volume III of a three-volume series and focuses on stress and performance effectiveness. This series of volumes reviews the state of the art in several areas of human performance research. These areas are human capability assessment, information processing and decision making, and job stress. It was recognized that these have been active research areas, but work in these areas has not previously been linked directly to national concerns about productivity. The focus is on implications for improving productivity and for recommending research in these areas that should have impact on productivity.
