Abstract
This thesis covers the topic of pilot gain in flight test based on simulator tests in Germany and flight tests with the NF-16D “VISTA” at the USAF test pilot school. Potential pilot gain measures are introduced and validated based on a dedicated approach which can be easily adapted to different types of tasks. In a second section, a potential root cause for differences in natural pilot gain is evaluated and discussed. Based on the cortical arousal theory, a correlation between the pilot’s personality trait of “extraversion” and pilot gain was assumed and supported by simulator and personality tests. Finally, the workload buildup flight test technique is investigated as a potential means to increase pilot gain in flight test. The results of this thesis confirm that this technique is able to gradually increase pilot gain; however, the resulting pilot gain is often not higher than for an intentional pilot gain increase on command.
