Assessment of ECG and respiration recordings from simulated emergency landings of ultra light aircraft

Abstract Pilots of ultra light aircraft have limited training resources, but with the use of low cost simulators it might be possible to train and test some parts of their training on the ground. The purpose of this paper is to examine possibility of stress inducement on a low cost flight simulator....
