The effects of high cockpit temperature on physiological responses and performance were determined on pilots in a general aviation simulator. The pilots (all instrument rated) 'flew' an instrument flight while exposed to each of three cockpit temperatures: 25.0C (77F), 43.3C (110F), 60.0C (140F). Each flight lasted about 50 minutes. Performance was scored as the deviations in heading from the pre-determined flight path. Deviations were scored for seven segments of the flight. Physiological parameters recorded were: heart rate, deep body temperature, skin temperature and urine output and sweat loss. Results are discussed in terms of the complexity of the flight segment being 'flown.' (Author)
