The effect of physiological stressors on pilot’s decision making during unfavourable simulated conditions: An explorative study

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper deals with physiological factors that can easily affect a pilot performance and have negative impact on the flight safety. Our research focuses on the observation of pilot-student’s flying abilities during changing conditions for flight tasks in flight simulation training device in order to avoid pilot students’ bad decision making caused by uncomfortable conditions for the flight. Pilot error statistics related to the impact of physiologic factors on pilot performance help us to predict which stressors are the most dangerous for flight tasks and they help indeed pilot-students to react properly and make the right decisions in different crisis situations.
