This is essentially an application of bio feedback, which isn't exactly
new, but it does incorporate an AI component I guess.
One of the aspects that bothers me is the addition of another attention
diversion during actual flight. Attending to the task(s) of flying or
maneuvering a multi-system craft is going to be enough mental attention
stress without also dealing with immediate feedback on meeting a "by the
book" evaluation UNLESS your life depends on it. But I would assume
there are enough lights and alarms to take care of that.
I can see how this system would be extremely useful during simulator
training for evaluating performance after the fact for review of
practice. Also, there are people who should never be put in a life and
death killing machine, be it a fighter jet or holding a scalpel. If you
have watched or listened to the doco Dr Death about Dr Christian
Duntsch, you'll know what I mean. Psychology is just as important as
dexterity. The 'god complex' is a real thing and can be extremely
dangerous, in the military and in surgery.

Al-Husseini said the system could be especially useful for comparing a pilot’s
maneuvers to the textbook. There are defined standards for virtually all
maneuvers by the Air Force, Navy, Army or, on the civilian side, by the FAA.
“All of this is happening dynamically as the pilot is flying the aircraft so
that they can, as soon as they complete a maneuver, understand whether or not
they met the objective standards,” he said.
The system is can be applied to virtually any aircraft with clear instruments.
Moreover, commanders could also use it to make rapid decisions about which
pilots may be best suited for particular missions.
