Mathematical models are presented in this paper to describe human maneuvers for aircraft flight simulation. Input parameters for the human pilot model (HPM), such as the course deviation indicator (CDI) and the heading change, are defined for the model, and are related mathematically to those in the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for automatic control. Similarities are discussed between the parameters in HPM and those in the automatic control for better understanding of the significance of human factors and their effect on aircraft behavior. Examples for the HPM include aircraft instrument landing system (ILS) lateral and vertical control, heading change, and homing. The model is tested by using the high-fidelity flight simulation simulator JSBSim [1].
