Abstract
An indirect approach to assessing a pilot’s psychophysiological condition is proposed: in this approach, the current flight characteristics of the airplane are compared with the pilot’s specific confidence set, which reflects the individual’s control behavior in standard flight conditions. An algorithm is outlined for approximating the individual confidence set by a correlation ellipsoid, whose parameters are calculated on the basis of data from semisimulated or flight experiments and from real flights. As an example, this approach is employed to assess the pilot’s psychophysiological condition in landing.
