Abstract

The main types and variables of pilot-aircraft systems and pilot control response characteristics are considered. The basic regularities of pilot behavior exposed in closed-loop systems are briefly discussed. Different types of models of pilot behavior are reviewed including classical (McRuer), structural, and optimal control models.
