During helicopter instrument hover- and navigation (tracking) tasks a number of flight data, physiological measures and subjective ratings were collected. Mathematical models were used to describe and analyze the pilot's control behavior and attentional workload. The optimal control model seems to offer a suitable framework for the description of control tasks as complex as helicopter instrument flying. A control effort model, which was formulated in terms of the optimal control model, describes the relationship between performance and attention paid to the task. The physiological variables and subjective ratings in general reflected the variations in control effort connected with the various tasks.
