Developments in commercial aviation have changed the pilot's task to that of a flight systems manager. In this task optimum vigilance is required. It is anticipated that the performance of the modern pilot might be impaired by the cumulative effects of frequent disturbance of sleep and prolonged exposure to mild hypoxia, low relative humidity, ozone, and noise. The effects of loss of sleep, lower cabin pressure, low relative humidity, ozone, and noise on a pilot's performance is discussed. Research on the effects of the combination of environmental factors on performance is recommended. Such research should include controlled studies under cockpit environmental conditions, employing over time assessment of psychological performance, and using tasks that are representative for the task of a modern pilot. Conditions to be included in such a study are given.
