Due to the increase of board systems in aircraft the pilot can no longer pay as much attention to the primary flying task as before and the impression exists that his performance on the primary task is less than optimal. It was investigated whether, with an active stick to feed back a flight variable through proprioception, the pilots visual attention for secondary task diminishes in a steering task with a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV). An experiment was set up in which an RPV was simulated on a computer and in which the independent factors, sticktype (active vs passive), task-speed, replication and whether or not a visual secondary task was present, were introduced. Test results show that, with the control of remotely piloted vehicles in the vertical plane, proprioceptive feedback of the vertical speed enhances the accuracy of the steering task and the score on the visual secondary task.
