A pilot's ability to perform arm reach in the cockpit can be compromised by high-sustained acceleration (G). This research provides performance test data on reach to aircraft controls under several levels of sustained acceleration, especially negative G. Currently, Government requirements documents and aircraft manufacturers use locked harnesses at 1 G to simulate reach to controls at > 1 G. This research was conducted to determine the effects of reduced reach capability on pilot accommodation levels.
