“…Some researchers have attempted to use eye movements for an assessment of mental workload during different tasks or for assessing workload influence on flight performance (e.g., Dahlstrom & Nahlinder, 2009;Hankins & Wilson, 1998;Szczechura, Terelak, Kobos, & Pinkowski, 1998). In addition, the visual scanning of flight instruments was found to vary as a function of the level of difficulty of a task (Tole, Stevens, Harris, & Ephrath, 1982), in a way that indicated that the average dwell time of each fixation on the instrument panel increased as a function of the load and increased as a function of the estimated skill level of a pilot.…”

Objective: The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive review of eye-tracking measures and discuss different application areas of the method of eye tracking in the field of aviation. Background: Psychophysiological measures such as eye tracking in pilots are useful for detecting fatigue or high-workload conditions, for investigating motion sickness and hypoxia, or for assessing display improvements and expertise. Method: We review the uses of eye tracking on pilots and include eyetracking studies published in aviation journals, with both a historical and contemporary view. We include 79 papers and assign the results to the following three categories: Human performance, aircraft design, health and physiological factors affecting performance. We then summarize the different uses of eye tracking in each category and highlight metrics which turned out to be useful in each area. Our review is complementary to that of Ziv (2016). Results: On the basis of these analyses, we propose useful application areas for the measurement of eye tracking. Eye tracking has the potential to be effective in terms of preventing errors or injuries by detecting, for example, fatigue or performance decrements. Applied in an appropriate manner in simulated or real flight it can help to ensure optimal functioning of man-machine systems. Conclusion: Further aviation psychology and aerospace medicine research will benefit from measurement of eye movements.

“…While working at MIAM, he dealt with the issue of eyeball movements in the perception of visual information by pilots. He presented the results of his research at international conferences as well as in articles in Polish and foreign magazines [11]. Moreover, the activity of dr. Szczechura was related to the profi le of the ministerial institute and concerned psychological measurements of the eff ectiveness of pilot fi tness training, application of tests for the study of spatial orientation in a fl ight simulator and selection of candidates for aviation as well as application studies in the fi eld of aviation ergonomics [18].…”

The work has a historiographical nature, documenting the biography of aviation psychologists working for Polish aviation in the years 1928-2018. At the same time, the authors document the institutional activity of aviation psychology on the occasion of the jubilee of the 90th anniversary of the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine in Warsaw and its institutional predecessors. aviation psychologists, historiography, 90th anniversary of the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine in Warsaw, biographies of Polish aviation psychologists

“…It should also be noted that the Department of Aviation Psychology had an apparatus, unique on a global scale, for examining visual attention processes at the level of saccade eye-movement (NAC-4 and NAC-5). The research conducted in the Department of Psychology with the use of an eye tracker was unique not only in Poland, both in the scope of basic research [16,19], but also applied ones, e.g. in solving ergonomic problems in designing a cabin of a prototype of a Polish helicopter based on the MI-2 structure [27].…”

The author of this publication worked at Military Institute of Aviation Medicine (MIAM) in Warsaw in 1968-2018 with a small break. The paper is of a review nature and concerns the presentation of the scientifi c and implementational activities of Polish aviation psychologists from the perspective of the last half-century of the existence of the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine in Warsaw. The scientifi c activity includes, among others, empirical research on the assessment of mental and motor skills during tests in fl ight simulators: thermo-and diving chambers and centrifuges, while application research concerns mainly psychometric adaptation of psychological selection of candidates for military aviation and space fl ight and selection of military and civilian pilots. The organizational activity is related to the construction of tests and technical devices for group psychological research. The interdisciplinary nature of research is emphasized, thanks to cooperation of aviation psychologists with many specialists of aviation medicine and bioengineering. aviation psychology, fl ight simulators, space psychology, chronopsychology, polar psychology, psychological selection and pilot selection
