Abstract:It has been reported that the decrease in performance of airplane pilots, due to extreme work conditions, could potentially lead to an accident. Additionally, exposure to heat conditions has been linked to increased accident rates. The objective of this experimental study was to examine the influence of temperature (21°C and 35°C) and the maneuver complexity, in the pilots’ performance, measured by the time spent to complete a maneuver, using a Static Flight Driving Device simulator. We used an experimental de… Show more
