Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center envisions that their
studies will require standard measure of pilot/crew performance. Therefore,
the FAA commissioned the Crew System Ergonomics Information Analysis Center
(CSERIAC) to (1) identify state-of-the-art pilot/crew performance measures in
selected areas of interest, (2) provide guidance material to allow the FAA
Technical Center to determine appropriate measures for a given study
classification, and (3) provide guidelines on pilot subject characteristics
used in their studies. Adhering to accepted standards will allow performance
data to be translated between FAA studies and generalized across other
government and industry partners. Three areas of human performance that have
achieved the most attention in the literature are: workload, situational
awareness, and vigilance. An extensive literature search was conducted on each
of these areas and leading experts in the human performance research industry
were consulted. The tools and techniques used to measure each of these three
areas are investigated. Guidelines are provided to assist the human factors
practitioner in choosing the most appropriate performance measure for a given
study classification (e.g., part-task, full mission, end-to-end). A set of
criteria and guidelines on pilot subject characteristics, such as, number of
subjects, experience level required, and the use of different airline flight
crews, is also provided. Bibliography (10p) 93p. Performed under contract
DLA900-88-D-0393.
