A representative sample of pilots employed with an airline operating the Russian short haul jet transport aircraft YAK 40 assessed the acceptability of the cockpit layout and instrumentation, the handling quality, and the feasibility of the systems with regard to the pilot's workload. The assessment of the concerned qualities was quantitatively conducted by using a 7-scale rating of 82 items of a questionnaire, and qualitatively by tape-recorded descriptions of critical experiences with the aircraft. The method of subjective assessment, rating, and description of a system was used to find the critical weakness and the favorable points of an aircraft-operation. It is a heuristic approach towards a direct recognition of the strain and attention needed to cope with the operation of the aircraft. (Author)
