PILOT CONTROL. IN: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF AVIATION PSYCHOLOGY

The subject of pilot control presentation has primarily focused on quantitative, mathematical representations of the pilot in a control-theoretic framework. This modeling approach has been the most common and successful means of analyzing pilot behavior and designing systems that must act in concort with the pilot. Quantitative techniques for examining higher levels of pilot control behavior are far less common and advanced. However, these latter techniques will be increasingly called on to provide guidance for the design of future aircraft. An efficient means of determining the appropriate role of human and machine may be the most pressing need in the study of pilot control in the immediate future.
