The Dynamic Pilot Behavioral Models

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of dynamic human behavioral models focused on the action of pilots during flight. The linear dynamic models are used for the approximation of human behavior. Although, at present, the Tustin – McRuer model is the most widely applied tool, there are viable alternatives embodied in the precision model or the variants proposed by Tustin and Gross. All the models are considered and briefly described in this article. A substantial portion of the paper contains a simulation-based comparison of the discussed models, whose parameters are based on real measurements on a flight simulator.This paper presents an analysis of dynamic human behavioral models focused on the action of pilots during flight.
