Machine learning methods for cognitive load analysis and classification in aviation

This 2026 systematic review by Molloy et al. highlights the growing role of machine-learning approaches in objectively assessing cognitive workload in aviation through physiological and behavioural data such as EEG, heart rate variability, and eye-tracking. For CRM and human-factors practitioners, the paper is significant because it demonstrates how advances in data analytics may allow workload to be monitored more accurately and potentially in real time, providing deeper insight into how workload influences situational awareness, decision-making, and crew coordination in complex operational environments

LEADERSHIP & TEAMWORK

The Big Five Model of Teamwork (B5T)

The seminal paper by Eduardo Salas and colleagues introduced the Big Five Model of Teamwork (B5T) as an integrative framework for understanding the behavioural processes that underpin effective team performance in complex environments. The authors reviewed a large body of teamwork literature and synthesised more than a hundred previously proposed teamwork frameworks into five core teamwork behaviours: team leadership; mutual performance monitoring; backup behaviour; adaptability; team orientation

Aviation accident investigation analysis methodologies used by 12 government Safety Investigation Authorities

In this 2026 study, Bills, Costello, and Cattani present a rare inside look at how 12 leading government Safety Investigation Authorities (SIAs) actually analyse major aviation accidents.

The study maps the investigation models and analytical frameworks used in practice by investigators and compares them with both ICAO guidance and contemporary academic debate.

FATIGUE AND STRESS MANAGEMENT

Pilot performance anxiety and stress regulation.

Lori Thomas raises the question of the impact of pilot personality traits on individual stress recognition and self regulation. An area of current research interest in aviation human factors is the inclusion individual cognitive management techniques and mental preparation into pilot training. One example of where aviation training can look for best practice in this area is elite sports, where athletes work closely with sports psychologists to develop psychological self-regulation, stress management and performance under pressure.
