However, human factors which resulted in air crashes and unsafe events are raised. In this paper, for many typical accident scenarios of a particular plane, the flight simulation verifications of the pilot\u2019s workload and behavior are carried out on the certain transport category airplane, namely the six-degrees-of-freedom full-motion flight simulator. The subjective and physiological evaluation methods combine to analyze the human factors of pilots in the sudden typical accident scene during a flight mission. The study uses eye trackers, professional heart rate monitors, cameras, and other equipment to collect the pilot\u2019s physiological information during the flight mission, and allows the pilots to fill in the subjective evaluation scale, establishing a subjective and objective evaluation index system. Thus, the human factors of pilots in typical fault situations are analyzed. The analysis shows the combined personal and accurate evaluation method, with the test equipment and environment proposed by this paper being feasible for the human factor evaluation in the accident or incident of transport category airplanes. It will benefit aviation stakeholders in determining the proper action to decrease the workload to an acceptable level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su15032791","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T02:29:23Z","timestamp":1675650563000},"page":"2791","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Analysis of Human Factors in Typical Accident Tests of Certain Type Flight Simulator"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Guanghua","family":"Xing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Center of CAAC, Shanghai 200335, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingjun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Center of CAAC, Shanghai 200335, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fajiang","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Air Transportation, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengcheng","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Air Transportation, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shicheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Air Transportation, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haojie","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Air Transportation, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhixiong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Air Transportation, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"977","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cja.2014.03.016","article-title":"Human factors quantification via boundary identification of flight performance margin","volume":"4","author":"Yang","year":"2014","journal-title":"Chin.
