Analysis of Uncontrollable Variables to the Performance of Predefined Tasks

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the impacts of changing environmental factors on pilots by implementing the effective flight procedure that we found from the previous research. During the experiments, camcorders were used to monitor and analyze the tasks and physical exhaustion of the pilot. NASA-TLX was also used to collect the data of the workload. Through this experiment, we were able to approach the experiment from a different angle regarding the optimal assigned work of the pilot, unlike the previous studies. Also, we were able to find out the impacts of environmental factors on the pilot’s workload.
