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.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 233 pages. 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 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.

Book excerpt: Aircrew performance measurement is a critical problem in evaluating the quality of a visual simulation system and in determining the effectiveness of aircrew training devices. An effective performance measurement system must be able to separate performance into appropriate components and describe the relationship of these components. This paper describes a performance measurement system developed to analyze pilot performance in maintaining altitude in both straight and turning flight as a function of the object density of the simulated visual environment. The analysis indicates that pilot performance can be divided into perceptual and task difficulty factors and that the effect of the visual environment on each of these factors can be determined. A prototype performance measurement system was developed to describe pilot performance in a simulator. The pilot's task was to maintain altitude at 200 feet both in straight and in turning flight. Pilot performance was sensitive to task difficulty and to visual scene quality. The strength of this performance measurement system was that it analyzed performance in terms of overall task performance and also specific pilot control inputs. Keywords: Altitude maintenance; flight simulation; performance measurements; task difficulty; visual simulation.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To realize its full research potential a need exists for the development of an automated objective pilot performance evaluation system for use in the Advanced Simulator for Undergraduate Pilot Training (ASUPT) facility. The present report documents the approach taken for the development of frequency domain pilot control movement based measures and presents data collected from an evaluation study. The results indicate that frequency domain based measures of a pilot's control movements do discriminate between pilot experience levels. These finds are encouraging and demonstrate the potential of this approach for developing an automated objective pilot performance measurement system. (Author).

This book was released on 1969 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report documents research on a new approach to deriving human performance measures and criteria for use in automatically evaluating trainee performance. The ultimate application of the research is to provide methods for automatically measuring pilot performance in a flight simulator or from recorded in-flight data. An efficient method of representing performance data within a computer is described. A system of adaptive mathematical and computer models is developed to examine representative performance data corresponding to known skill-levels and to independently develop a unique method of performance evaluation. Three types of models are developed, each of which is designed to derive and use (in an adaptive performance evaluation scheme) unique types of performance measures: (1) State-transfer measures, which are based on overall trends of the performance; (2) Absolute measures, which are based on a comparison of actual performance with some reference or standard; and (3) Relative measures, which are based on relations among various performance variables. A preliminary demonstration and an evaluation of the system are made, using a simulated aircraft landing program to provide hypothetical test data. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research was conducted to develop a capability for quantification and assessment of in-flight pilot performance for utilization in undergraduate pilot training (UPT). The feasibility effort was directed to overcoming disadvantages of the traditional subjective rating of a pilot trainee's performance by the instructor pilot through the development of an automated, objective performance measurement system that possesses the characteristics of reliability, validity, and sensitivity. A T-37B was instrumented to digitally record 24 flight and engine parameters. Computer software was developed to reduce, calibrate, and analyze data from lazy 8 and barrel roll maneuvers, and compute performance measures. (Modified author abstract).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buckout's review in 1962 was the last comprehensive examination of the pilot performance measurement (PPM) literature. This annotated bibliography attempts to: (1) gather the PPM literature written subsequent to 1962 into one source; (2) describe the scenarios and measures used in collecting PPM data; and (3) summarize the major premises and findings of each article. A variety of sources including computer aided literature search were used to identify candidate articles. Ultimately all referenced material was divided into three categories: (1) objective pilot performance measurement; (2) subjective pilot performance measures; and (3) general analysis and review articles. The objective performance measure category was arranged as follows: Field Conditions, Simulator Conditions, Laboratory Conditions, and Combination of Field Conditions, Simulator and/or Laboratory Conditions. For each of the objective measure articles reviewed, the following parameters were reported: subjects, equipment, scenario, measures and summary. For the subjective measures and general analysis and review articles the author's abstract was generally duplicated. In addition to the 189 articles addressing objective performance measurement, 30 articles dealing with subjective measures and 143 related analyses and review articles are contained in the bibliography.
