  note = {Approach stabilization is critical for flight safety. Unstabilized
	approach has been identified to be a major causal factor of approach-and-landing
	accidents (e.g. off-runway touchdowns, tail-strikes etc.). In the
	D3CoS project, we conducted experiments in order to analyze pilots
	workload during approaches. Therefore 15 commercial pilots flew 4
	different approaches each in a B737 full flight simulator. Geometry
	characteristics, winds and weather conditions were manipulated in
	order to induce unstabilized approaches. The pilot flyings eye gaze,
	heart rate and subjective data (NASA-TLX) were collected. Flight
	data were also recorded and aggregated with an algorithm to provide
	a stabilization performance indicator. Flight data analysis suggests
	that the scenarios were able to induce unstabilized approaches. Moreover,
	our results showed that only half of the unstabilized approaches
	were subjectively perceived as critical by the participants. Interestingly
	enough, a scenario at Dalaman airport was very efficient to induce
	unstabilized approach and elicited higher physiological responses,
	as well as higher Nasa TLX scores. The next step is to implement
	an Approach Stabilization Advisory System (AStA) that monitors aircraft
	performance/configuration and pilots behavior/cognitive state. When
	AStA detects potentially occurrence of an unstabilized approach,
	it suggests corrective actions to re-stabilize the approach or to
	go-around. AStA will be tested in the next experimental campaign
	of D3CoS.}
