    Abstract
    This thesis demonstrates how a model-based observer can be applied to estimate the reference pilot expectation that can be achieved with any instrument scanning behavior and established models of vestibular inputs. The MBO, developed by the Georgia Tech Cognitive Engineering Center, is applied here in both simple maneuvers examining spatial disorientation and full Air Traffic Control concepts of operations examining loss of energy state awareness. The computational experiments presented in this thesis examine how different effects (i.e., instrument scan pattern, accuracy of pilot perception of flight display information, and awareness of control surface deflections) can prevent or mitigate the susceptibility to spatial disorientation and loss of energy state awareness, thus setting requirements for intervention and countermeasure designs in terms of the scanning behavior they must foster.
