This paper applies a model-based observer (MBO) to estimate the best possible pilot expectation of the aircraft state based on knowledge of the aircraft dynamics, vestibular system sensing, and a given visual scan. This paper presents a few case studies where the MBO is applied in various flight regimes reflecting common maneuvers observed in spatial disorientation related accidents. The results demonstrate...
• Apply a model-based observer (MBO) • Estimate the best possible pilot expectation • Based on █ Knowledge of the aircraft dynamics █ Vestibular system sensing █ A given visual scan • Experiments • Sub-threshold and above threshold bank maneuver • Application • Identify desired pilot scanning behavior for training programs • Develop countermeasures to improve flight deck design and prevent error associated...
Loss of Control (LOC) accidents are a major threat for aviation, and contribute the highest risk for fatalities in all aviation accidents. The major contributor to LOC accidents is pilot spatial disorientation (SD), which accounts for roughly 32% of all LOC accidents. A pilot experiences SD during flight when he/she fails to sense correctly the motion, and/or attitude of the aircraft. In essence,...
