The Idea of Modification of Work Conditions for the Reduction of the Pilot’s Workload in a Glider, Type SZD-30

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents a method for identifying the risk of disorders in the muscular and skeleton system, which would enable an assessment of the load of the motoric system that constitute one of important aspect for ergonomic risk. The result of the research made with use of the RULA method confirms the necessity of an urgent implementation of correcting actions aimed at improving the ergonomics of the pilot’s cabin. Some of them are difficult to put into practice in view to their high costs. One should also remember that the exploitation period is nearly expired so the implementation of improvements does not make much sense. However, there is a possibility of implementing many modifications that do not require high costs and that do not affect significantly the construction of the glider.
