Abstract:

Organizations have begun to explore the use of human physiological monitoring technologies in critical safety systems to mitigate risk and adapt to evolving operator concepts. This report describes the initial capabilities needed to support safe flight operations in the case of an incapacitated pilot. We describe aspects of a pilot’s physiological state which, in the absence of a second flight deck crewmember, would instead need to be monitored through sensing technology. We review the maturity of the science of sensing technologies for incapacitation detection. Six types of incapacitation were identified to review the state of the science for incapacitation detection technology: sudden cardiac death, sleep, epileptic seizure, stroke, hypoxia, and acute pain syndrome.
