An Annotated Bibliography of Objective Pilot Performance Measures

Abstract
Buckout's review in 1962 was the last comprehensive examination of the pilot performance measurement (PPM) literature. This annotated bibliography attempts to: (1) gather the PPM literature written subsequent to 1962 into one source; (2) describe the scenarios and measures used in collecting PPM data; and (3) summarize the major premises and findings of each article. A variety of sources including computer aided literature search were used to identify candidate articles. Ultimately all referenced material was divided into three categories: (1) objective pilot performance measurement; (2) subjective pilot performance measures; and (3) general analysis and review articles. The objective performance measure category was arranged as follows: Field Conditions, Simulator Conditions, Laboratory Conditions, and Combination of Field Conditions, Simulator and/or Laboratory Conditions. For each of the objective measure articles reviewed, the following parameters were reported: subjects, equipment, scenario, measures and summary. For the subjective measures and general analysis and review articles the author's abstract was generally duplicated. In addition to the 189 articles addressing objective performance measurement, 30 articles dealing with subjective measures and 143 related analyses and review articles are contained in the bibliography.
