Cessna Citation Mustang — Training Manual

This document is a technical report detailing the methodology and findings from human-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation studies conducted with the Cessna Citation Mustang flight training device. The study aimed to analyze task and workload management for single pilots in very light jets. It includes the design of experimental scenarios, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The report serves as a resource for researchers and practitioners interested in human factors and simulation in aviation, particularly in the context of advanced flight deck functionality and single-pilot operations. The findings are intended to inform future studies and improve pilot workload management in entry-level jets.

• The study utilized a Level 5 Cessna Citation Mustang flight training device for simulations.
• Three flight scenarios were developed, including a familiarization flight and two experimental legs lasting approximately 30 minutes and 1 hour each.
• Pilot workload was measured using various methods, including instantaneous self-assessment devices and NASA Task Load Index measures.
• The scenarios included tasks such as programming in-flight reroutes and conducting precision approaches.
• Data collection involved multiple sources, including voice analysis and pilot questionnaires.
