Eye-Tracking

Abstract: Eye-tracking has historically been proposed as a tool to provide insight into pilot performance, although its transition from scientific curiosity to a practical device has been challenging. Advancing technology has recently opened the possibility of deploying eye-tracking measurements for operational use in flight training, thus allowing for improved understanding of pilot monitoring strategies. This aims to support a more focused development for both new trainees and experienced pilots in recurrent training. The paper outlines the cooperative progress made in developing an emerging eye-tracking-based training solution for contemporary airline pilot training. It shares selected findings from three studies conducted and discusses the potential, challenges, and lessons learned so far.
