A simulation environment that combines a trajectory generation scheme, an aeroelastic aircraft model and a pilot model is used to develop a methodology to study airframe loadings during trajectory-based manoeuvres. The manoeuvres are defined as resolutions with specified three dimensional position and time characterised by simultaneous changes in a...

We describe a general conflict detection/resolution scheme, focusing on the conflict detection component for a pair of aircraft flying at the same altitude. The proposed approach is formulated in a probabilistic framework, thus allowing uncertainty in the aircraft positions to be explicitly taken into account when detecting a potential conflict. Th...

Mathematical representations of human control behaviour have played a very important part in manned aviation, especially in the definition of aircraft handling qualities requirements. New challenges posed by advances in aerospace technologies, such as fly-by-wire flight control, large flexible airframes and flight simulation, have led to increasingly complex mathematical representations of pilot behaviour. However, all these areas tend to be investigated separately and in parallel with human factors studies. The motivation behind this review is to promote discussion between the flight dynamicists and other engineers and scientists on the methods of modelling and simulation of today's pilot. A review of pilot model components used for flight control system design that focuses specifically on physiological and manual control aspects is presented in this paper. Models of varying complexity that are considered to be the state-of-the-art within the flight control and handling qualities engineering community are discussed. These include simple sensory models, biomechanics models and complex nonlinear pilot manual control models. In each area, the challenges posed by inter-subject variations and the need to understand the aircraft as a complex man-machine system are highlighted. However, the presented discussion is limited to a thin slice of this field thought to be fundamental to modelling manual control dynamics exhibited by aircraft pilots.
