Abstract
A flight simulator experiment was set up to study relevant human factors tools for situation awareness assessment of pilots. A specific scenario was designed in which a malfunction of the aircraft was introduced during flight: an indicated air speed discrepancy. Pilot behavior was studied while pilots tried to figure out the correct speed. Eye movement metrics alone provided an insufficient picture of pilot situation awareness, but when purposefully combined with subjective, self-rating metrics, they offered a more comprehensive look at situation awareness, covering all 3 levels of Endsley's situation awareness definition.
