This article presents more than 9 years of research in the field of testing pilots' responses to external stimuli - a step change in flight data – namely in flight altitude. Five simulators were used all together for long-term testing, however, statistically significant are the tests from three simulators that remain available for further testing. A simulator built on the XPlane-10 platform is the basis of most of the tests and pilots (students of University of Defence in Brno) were tested on it regularly over a 7-year period. This article presents statistics based on 37,000 analyses from all the available simulators, from all the known pilot behavior models, and also from averaged 10 step changes in flight altitude for each performed mission.
