Abstract
Humans’ biosignal responses are physiological behaviors that unravel the understanding of patterns which may help to predict reactions from risky situations. In the aeronautical field, the pilot’s reaction behavior is highly determinant to overcome a flight failure and excel in the execution of a maneuver during a flight. In this manner, an experiment was conducted using the AS-350 aircraft (Airbus Helicopters) during a Flight Test Campaign, which pilots were exposed to unexpected engine failures, and tested their ability to make a safe landing under the conditions prescribed by the aircraft manufacturer. This work aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of the visual eye-track and its effects on pilot performance, describing the recurrence of the location rate of the visual field across the cockpit versus the handling qualities of the aircraft, along with the physiological parameters of the pilots. Preliminary empirical results showed that the combination of three elements (Runway, altitude, and engine speed) are positively impacted on the success of the task.
