We measured situation awareness (SA) of pilots in a simulation of an approach to a large metropolitan airport (DFW), using both SAGAT and SPAM probe techniques. Both methods of SA measurement significantly predicted pilot performance on a self-spacing task but in SPAM scenarios, probe latency predicted IAS variability, and in SAGAT scenarios, accuracy predicted IAS variability.
