- Many ergonomic measures are used frequently but lack evidence concerning their basic psychometric properties. Several workload measures can be criticised in this manner. Using a set of representative tasks flown in a controlled flight simulator environment by a sample of fighter pilots from the Finnish Air Force, it was demonstrated that that subjective workload and physiological workload assessment techniques demonstrate convergent (construct) validity but that subjective techniques had greater sensitivity. The study highlights the benefits of using a multi-method approach to the assessment of pilot workload. Work was undertaken in collaboration with the Aalto University and Finnish Air Force.
