TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Pilot performance measurement methodology for determining the effects of alcohol and other toxic substances JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Taylor, Henry L.

SP - 334 EP - 338 VL - 27 IS - 4 N2 - Equipment and methodology for determining the effects of toxic substances on pilot performance were evaluated using ethyl alcohol as a reference substance, since its effects on flying performance in a flight simulator are well known. Four levels of ethyl alcohol were administered to eight instrument trained pilots in a Latin Square within subjects design. Significant performance decrements were found on instrument holding pattern, Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach, and Sternberg's choice reaction time tasks.
