MEASUREMENT IN AVIATION SYSTEMS. IN: HANDBOOK OF AVIATION HUMAN FACTORS

This paper discusses aviation human factors (HF) measurements even while recognizing that questions of workload, stress, and fatigue are also raised with other transportation systems. Although the aviation human factors research questions and methods are much the same as in other fields, the aircraft is a distinctive system functioning in a very special environment, and that environment makes aviation HF measurement important. These measurements can be categorized under four headings: flight performance, nonflight performance, physiological, and subjective. Each category is described in some detail.
