Abstract
The performance of pilots are related to the physiological response. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the pilot performance and physiological meters through recording the multiple physiological parameters in a flight. The results showed that in the flight phase from cutting off auto-pilot and auto-throttle, the performance of the subjects correlated strongly with heart rate and also correlated with fixation time or blink interval while the correlation between the performance and the saccade frequency or blink duration was weaker. When the subjects adjusted the flaps or controlled landing gear, the correlation between the performance and multiple physiological parameters, specially the cardiovascular parameters and fixation time, were more stronger compared with that at the other time.
