The potentials of an optimal control model for predicting the characteristics of realistic operational helicopter missions were assessed. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that the optimal control model succesfully predicts the best attainable (rather than the average) performance of a group of well-trained, highly motivated subjects. Furthermore, the model allows a description of inter-subject variability. The control effort model predictions are supported by subjective ratings. The model provides a meaningful representation of pilot workload relative to complex control tasks.
