The Effect of an Unconscious Auditory Stimulus on Pilot Performance under Varying Instrument Flying Conditions
… could enhance pilot performance under varying instrument flight (IFR) conditions on the aircraft flightdeck. Forty IFR student pilots underwent two eight-minute simulated flights, whereupon they were presented with different IFR weather conditions. During the trial, the experimental group …

Degradation of Piloting Skills
… category aircraft, most of the tedious work of flying the aircraft solely by reference to raw data information from the airplane’s instruments is becoming a thing of the past. Pilots are no longer required to use their basic instrument skills on a daily basis and as a result, their basic …

An Error-Dependent Model of Instrument-Scanning Behavior in Commercial Airline Pilots
… data to evaluate various aspects of pilot instrument scanning behavior. Although Senders' work indicated that link values and transitional probabilities could be accurately predicted using a random sampling process, several investigators have recently suggested that pilot scanning behavior …
