AB- This study assesses changes in pilot's performance and mental effort
associated with positive vertical acceleration (+Gz) and task load.
Performance was reflected by reaction time and the number of response
errors on a reaction time task, and mental effort was indicated by
heart rate variability and self-reports. The results show that pilots
were able to maintain task execution times during acceleration profiles
at the cost of more errors toward the end of the task, reflecting a
speed-accuracy trade-off. Even after normal acceleration had been
restored, performance remained impaired. Task load increases perceived
mental effort during +Gz, and it is argued that +Gz may have 'delayed'
adverse effects on performance. This may have practical implications
for actual flights involving acceleration: preparing a mission in
advance may allow the pilot to anticipate or compensate for degraded
performance, making the total mission more effective. (Author)

AB- A review of all tactical jet (TACAIR) and rotary wing Class A flight
mishaps between fiscal years 1990-1996 was performed to examine the
role of human error and crew-resource management (CRM) failures in U.S.
Naval aviation mishaps. Results of the analysis revealed that over 75
percent of the mishaps within these communities were attributable, at
least in part, to some form of human error. Approximately 70 percent of
these human error mishaps were associated with aircrew human factors,
of which 56 percent involved at least one CRM failure. These
percentages are very similar to those observed prior to the
implementation of aircrew coordination training (ACT) in the fleet.
Apparently, the initial benefits of the ACT program originally
documented by other researchers in this area have not persisted. CRM
failures continue to be a safety problem in naval aviation. (Author)
