Abstract

A Single Pilot Operation (SPO) environment was constructed using a flightsimulator, and comparisons were made primarily from the perspective ofworkload between SPO and SPO where support by ground-based PilotMonitoring (GPM) was available. The experiment was conducted using aMitsubishi SpaceJet M90 flight simulator, with two pilots participating. Asexpected, it was found that SPO generally results in higher workload compared to2PO, and that GPM support can alleviate some of the workload during SPO.Factors such as the invisibility of GPM and the anxiety caused by GPM notreceiving sufficient information, as well as the increase in procedures, were foundto impact workload.
