Abstract

Flight simulator evaluation results are presented to analyze activity algorithms and psychophysiologic features for a pilot interacting with some backup fly-by-wire control system for various flight modes. In addition a comparison is carried out for side control levers and conventional control sticks to assess their performance quality in regard to flight tasks and psychological loading of the pilot.
