Characterization of Pilot Strategy for Simulated Shipboard Approaches with Realistic Ship Motion

Authors / Details: James Pritchard and Ryan Wallace, NAVAIR; John Tritschler, John O'Connor and David Arteche, USNTPS

Abstract
The shipboard environment presents significant challenges to pilotsÂ’ workload, in particular during the approach and land tasks. This research focuses on fixed-base, pilot-in-the-loop rotorcraft flight simulations to examine the workload and the available visual cueing of seven test pilots with extensive operational and test experience. This research separated the approach and landing task into distinct simulation runs to investigate and identify the characteristics of the individual handing qualities and parameters for each task. The approach task was flown to a stationary LHA while the landing task was flown to a moving DDG. Coupled with the landing task was the additional component of a position capture and hover maneuver within the simulation run. During the approach task to the LHA it was seen that the pilot experienced insufficient line up and deceleration cueing as they neared the ship. Separating the approach from the landing showed that one flight control response is not sufficient for the two different shipborne tasks. Pilot scan strategy is based on their preference to pick up visual cueing. During landing to a moving ship pilots use two separate reference frames to hover/land. Although scan strategies vary between pilots, line-up and positional visual cueing is paramount to complete the task.
