A research program which investigated environmental variables of aviation performance effectiveness is described. Physiological, psychological, sleep and performance data were collected in a combat environment to describe and predict the influence of prolonged periods of stress on pilot landing performance. Significant predictions of pilot performance from experience, biochemical sleep and mood data were obtained. A cross validation of pilot landing performance in a replacement air group environment was successfully carried out but not without substantial shrinkage of the original multiple Rs. Finally, a description of landing signal officers perceptual skills and their potential relation to the LSO fleet environment is presented along with implications for Navy implementation. Research recommendations and future programs related to environmental psychology are suggested.
