Abstract:
The paper presents a cognitive research method of pilot's eye attention based on flight simulator tests. The research was carried out using noninvasive SMIRed500 eye tracker on an adapted test stand integrated with Brain Products encephalograph. The paper presents eye tracking methods and their application in various areas. The first part of the paper enables getting acquainted with the software and hardware environment used in the research. The second part is related to practical aspects. The research was carried out on ten subjects qualified in two test groups: NON-PILOT and PILOT. The fundamental part of research is calibration of the eye tracking device and registering of the results of two tasks: the take-off to ceiling of 1200ft AMSL in windless conditions in a configured Cessna 172 aircraft, and landing from the ceiling of 1500ft AMSL in windless conditions on the same aircraft type. The last part of the paper is the comparative analysis of test groups created based on the SensoMotoric Instruments software. The analysis allows for a detailed description of two main measures components of eyeball movements of every test subject. The conclusions may be used for further design and research projects.
