Avaliação da carga de trabalho mental do piloto militar
| Resumo: | The presence of new technologies in the current aerial vectors, combined with the increased capabilities of operating systems and to fulfill the requirements of the mission, places enormous demands on the military pilot. Those demands can lead to intense mental workload and cause changes in pilot´s performance. With the intention of contributing to increase knowledge in this context, the aim of this research was to evaluate the work of the military pilot in the execution of their specific missions, to establish relationships between mental workload and its command function. To fulfill the objective, was investigated a group of Portuguese Air Force pilots, by applying a methodology for evaluation of mental workload, specifically the subjective technique known as NASA-TLX. Were identified two distinct groups, commander pilot and copilot, mission types with different characteristics, associated with the level of complexity. At the end of the missions the technique for measuring mental workload were applied. The results showed that the missions considered less complex exhibited global levels of lower workload, with no significant variations in the levels of mental workload between commander pilots and copilots, and that the levels shown were within average values. It was also found that the temporal demand was the largest contributor to the valuation of the overall level of mental workload of pilots, in carrying out their missions in a real context. |
