ABSTRACT
Beyond raw intelligence and motor skills, pilot performance depends largely on situational awareness, the overarching ability to attend concurrently to multiple sources of information, evaluate alternatives, establish priorities, and work on whatever has the highest momentary urgency. Crew duties add a social dimension to individual performance that is addressed by training in crew resource management. The PC-based WOMBATTM test was designed to measure the situational awareness and attention-management ability of individual crew members under stress. The new DuoWOMBATTM addresses the abilities of flight crews to manage their collective resources under similar conditions.
