This paper is based on a current study of pilot workload models for crucial Navy flight tasks such as the carrier landing and high-speed, low-level navigation. The objective is to construct a more rigorous and complete view of the overall pilot-vehicle-task system in order to describe how facets of pilot workload can be associated with elements of the system. The purpose of the paper is to discuss workload features in a system context as a first step to developing a more thorough workload prediction process for the design and operation of aircraft.
