In an 1865 poem by William Ross Wallace, he states "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Even as far back as almost a century and a half ago, he realized the impact that the nurturers of our nation's children would have on the world at large. Motherhood remains the most essential and important job on the planet. We should never underestimate or minimize our roles as mothers. Because deciding whether or not to stay home with your young children is such an important, personal decision, it is best to consider all the options and make an informed decision, one that gives you peace and one that will not lead to regret.

This thesis presents the results of research into the Boundary Avoidance Tracking (BAT) theory, which states that often pilots control an aircraft not in an attempt to maintain some condition, but to avoid some real or perceived boundaries. This pilot modeling concept was studied using over 30 pilots in simulator and flight tests. The pilot-aircraft system was evaluated with 3 different lateral-directional control models. Pilots were given a roll angle tracking task in the presence of shrinking boundaries. Pilots were also given a secondary task in some of the profiles in order to measure workload. Approximately 42 hours of simulation and 10 test flights were accomplished. The simulations were conducted in the Infinity Cube simulator and the Large Amplitude Multi-mode Aerospace Research Simulator (LAMARS) at the Air Force Research Laboratory. Flight test sorties were flown on the NF-16D Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA). The mathematical BAT model was compared to the flight test data in order to confirm the theory and validate the model. In addition, a correlation between pilot performance during these tasks and pilot opinion of the aircraft was studied.
