V. HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODEL SPECIFICATIONS
The following sections describe the specifications developed for the MIDAS modeling of the pilots and controller in the en route sector CAT sensor scenario.
Pilot Specifications
General Flight Crew Procedures
As discussed in Chapter III, the baseline behavior of the flight crew (i.e., without exposure to or warnings of CAT) was fully specified using the baseline traffic definitions as inputs to RFS. The waypoint following aircraft module in RFS handled all of the pilot actions necessary to fly these baseline routes. A more detailed MIDAS flight crew performance model was initiated whenever an aircraft was to be influenced by CAT (i.e., affected by sensor alert, overhears PIREP, or experiences CAT) in order to model the response behavior appropriate to the developing situation. A diagram of the general elements that were required from MIDAS to model the response behaviors of the flight crew and controller are shown in Figure V-1.
Figure V-1 General CAT Scenario Response Requirements
Under this approach, whenever an aircraft is projected to be affected by CAT it is modeled as a MIDAS agent from the time it enters the sector (although the nominal route handling is still achieved through RFS). Flight crew become aware of the presence of CAT either through PIREPs overheard on the communication channel, or directly from sensor alerts, or physical experience of CAT effects. They then evaluate the information being received in context of the turbulence severity and location relative to their current position, and formulate an appropriate response to the situation, e.g., issuing a PIREP, re-configuring the aircraft for turbulence penetration, warning the cabin of turbulence, requesting re-routes, or declaring an emergency. The controller model must handle the appropriate interactions with the flight crew: receiving and relaying PIREPs, evaluation of the requested or reported deviations from baseline flight crew behavior, and making appropriate communications.
