The assessment of pilot and aircrew workload is vital to the success of flight operations. It is also important in the design of cockpit instrumentation, display and control subsystems, and flight tests, whether it be civilian or military. Currently, there are three different types of subjective assessment scales available for pilot subjective workload evaluations: (1) the Modified Cooper-Harper Scale; (2) the NASA TLX Scale; and (3) the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT). Engineering design information and human factors data concerning the advantages and disadvantages of each scale is provided. Also, recommendations and constraints regarding the pilot's use of these scales in design, test, and operations are provided.
