Eye Tracking During A Complex Aviation Task For Insights Into Information Processing

Published on: April 4, 2025

  • Preliminary analysis revealed significant differences in visual scanning between expert and novice pilots.
  • Expert pilots demonstrated more frequent fixations with shorter dwell times compared to novices.

Conclusions:

  • Pilot visual scanning strategies differ significantly between expertise levels.
  • The relationship between workload and performance is dynamic and not fixed for either expert or novice pilots.
