VERITAS AERO combines simulator performance, task demands, and physiological signals to reveal how pilots perform under cognitive load — and turns these insights into actionable training decisions..
Measure → Understand → Optimize
You see what a pilot does. But what happens inside their mind?
Traditional assessment captures the observable outcome. Two pilots may execute the exact same task successfully, yet under completely different levels of cognitive strain and stress.
VERITAS AERO does not replace the instructor. It provides the instructor with a deeper, data-driven evidence base for better, more objective training decisions.
Traditional flight evaluation focuses almost entirely on operational outcomes—whether a maneuver was completed within tolerances. However, the underlying mental cost, real-time stress response, and remaining cognitive headroom stay hidden. VERITAS brings visibility to the cognitive layer behind performance.
Transforming Data into Actionable Insight
• Simulator Data: Raw technical parameters, flight control inputs, and flight dynamics are recorded during the session.
• Task Intensity: The operational workload and scenario difficulty imposed on the pilot at specific flight phases are quantified.
• Physiological Response: Real-time biometric and neurological responses are captured under varying task demands.
• Cognitive Workload: Collected streams are analyzed to compute the exact mental capacity utilized by the pilot.
• Performance Erosion: The adverse impact of escalating mental demand on decision-making, reaction time, and flying precision is identified.
• PILOT COGNITIVE MAP: All data layers are integrated to map the pilot’s overall mental profile and stress-behavior patterns.
• Training Recommendation: Targeted, actionable training decisions are generated to directly address underlying cognitive gaps.
Key dimensions of pilot cognitive function evaluated by VERITAS:
• Decision Making: The ability to make accurate choices under time-critical operational pressure.
• Working Memory: Capacity to retain and manipulate dynamic operational information.
• Situational Awareness: Accurate perception and projection of the aircraft state and environment.
• Attention: Focus sustainability and the ability to filter out non-critical distractions.
• Stress Response: Physiological and cognitive reactions during sudden emergency events.
• Performance Tolerance: The threshold beyond which high workload leads to performance degradation.
Built to Complement CBTA & EBT
VERITAS is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing training infrastructure without disrupting workflows.
• Existing Training Ecosystem: Simulator Data + Instructor Assessment + Training Management Systems (TMS)
• VERITAS Layer: Human Performance Layer (Adding evidence-based cognitive metrics to CBTA/EBT standards)
• Outcome: A robust framework supporting objective, data-backed human performance decisions
