Analysis of Mission Task Loading Based on the External Disturbance ()
ABSTRACT
This research investigates the
impact of changing weather conditions on the crew members who sit in a
side-by-side cockpit, which is unusual for attack helicopters. Extensive review
conducted by the authors fails to locate similar studies; hence a helicopter
simulator is developed in order to conduct the experiments. The simulator
represents the realistic flight characteristics as well as the digital cockpit
instruments that contain the advanced mission equipment. During the experiments,
a camcorder is used to record the pilots to accurately analyze the task
completion time and the physical motions of both pilots. NASA-TLX is also used
to collect the workload data to assess the impact of task assignments among the
pilots. The analytical findings from this study will be instrumental in
improving the cockpit design for enhanced mission effectiveness.
