Attempts to study the control behavior of helicopter pilots have been conducted with the aim of providing fundamental information for future cockpit design, establishing procedures and training. A series of in-flight measurements of human visual scanning behavior during various flight phases were carried out: (1) hovering, (2) level light, (3) coordinated turning, and (4) approach and landing. A total of 12 pilots participated in the experiment, each of whom performed 15 repetitions.
