This study adapted the Demand Resource Evaluation Scores (DRES) as a metacognitive indicator in assessing pilot students’ perceptions during simulated training of a novel maneuver. Typically, positive DRES are associated with perceiving a demanding situation as a challenge and with improved performance, while negative DRES are linked to a perception of the situation as a threat, and to poorer performance. The novelty here was to assess DRES before and after the task and across three missions. Overall, students were found to change their perceptions from threat to challenge over time. Also, increased DRES were positively correlated with performance progressing from mission to mission, indicating that the students reflect on their performance as they advance in their training. These findings show that individual metacognitive evaluations of a stressful aviation maneuver might be important for the progress in performance. The results are discussed in terms of flight safety and pilot training.

本研究采用需求资源评估分数 (DRES) 作为元认知指标，用于评估飞行员在模拟训练新机动时的感知。通常，积极的 DRES 与将苛刻的情况视为挑战和提高绩效有关，而消极的 DRES 与将情况视为威胁的看法有关，并且性能较差。这里的新颖之处在于在任务前后以​​及三个任务中评估 DRES。总体而言，随着时间的推移，学生们被发现将他们的看法从威胁转变为挑战。此外，增加的 DRES 与从一个任务到另一个任务的表现呈正相关，这表明学生在接受培训时会反思他们的表现。这些发现表明，对压力航空机动的个体元认知评估可能对性能的进步很重要。结果在飞行安全和飞行员培训方面进行了讨论。
