“…All the above-stated values can be mutually compared both to each other and to values averaged for setting the sought dependencies or correlations with eventual measurements of the selected pilot's biometric parameters [13,14] (heart rate, stress indicators, stability of the vestibular system, etc. ).…”

“…also from the point of precision of piloting techniques. It means that by measuring pilot's load we are able to quantify pilot performance (for particular results, see [8,9]). For this purpose, the research project made use of measurement equipment of the Faculty of Biomedicine Engineering, CTU in Prague [10,11].…”

The article is devoted to the development of the methodology of measuring pilot performance under real flight conditions. It provides the basic information on a research project realized to obtain new information regarding training and education of pilots. The introduction is focused on the analytical part of the project and the outputs in terms of the current state of the art. Detailed view is cast on the issue of measuring pilot performance under specific conditions of the cockpit or the flight simulator. The article is zooming in on the two selected and developed methods of pilot performance in terms of the defined indicators evaluated, conditions of compliance for conducting research and procedures of the methodology of pilot performance measurements.

“…During flights (including simulated flights), physiological parameters of pilots were recorded using FlexiGuard, a highly modular system for telemetric measurement of physiological state [16]. FlexiGuard system allows for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters of the user and environment parameters in real time.…”

Psychological discomfort and stress may negatively affect various work activities especially in professions that are directly responsible for the lives and health of human beings. We can find these kinds of professions mainly in civil aviation, specifically the profession of a pilot. Analysis showed, that the legislative requirements for the qualifications of a pilot, require only the competence for a particular aircraft but they don't take in account the ergonomics of the cabin and the visualization of the basic flight data (analog, glass-cockpit). That's the reason why this paper assesses the influence of flight, navigation and engine data visualization on psychophysiological state of the pilot. In this paper we used the measuring of the heart rate as the main indicator of stress. Spectral analysis was used for the assessment of stress levels with main focus on the activity of the autonomic nervous system. The evaluation was based on twenty subjects in flight training, which were divided into two groups. Each group had different methods of training based on flight data visualization. The results show that the group with the more extensive glass-cockpit training exhibit lower values of psychophysiological stress. These findings may contribute to the increase of aviation safety and the description of human-machine interface in aviation.
