Analysis of pilot eye behavior in emergency of mechanical failure

摘要

In order to analyze the difference of pilot's eye behavior between emergency and normal situation, the eye movement test was performed on the Diamond 42 flight simulator. This test recorded the eye movement data during the simulated flight experiment, and analyzed the pilot's eye movement changes in the three mechanical failures (Engine Failure, Attitude and Heading Reference Failure, Pitot tube Blocked). Compared with the normal situation, the study shows in the situation of Single Engine Failure, the average saccade length has no significant change, but the overall saccade speed is significantly increased; however, the average saccade length and the overall saccade speed are significantly increased in the Attitude and Heading Reference Failure; lastly, there is no significant change of the average saccade length and overall saccade speed when the pitot tube is blocked.
