EN Effective processing of information from the sense of sight affects the efficiency and safety of flight operations. Differences in visual behaviour and workload between UAV operators with various flight experience during basic flight manoeuvres were identified as the research problem. The participants' visual behaviour was record using an eye tracker and their workload was measured using NASA TLX questionnaire. The research subjects' task was to perform a simulation UAV flights with different difficulty levels. The aim of article are preliminary research to make conclusions about differences in gaze and workload level according to operators experience and due to two simulation scenarios. Eye tracking and NASA TLX variables differentiate the difficulty levels of the simulations performed. For experts group values of eye tracking variables was similar during each level of task. However, NASA TLX results in experts group shows the difference between each task. Based on the result can be seen, that experience differentiate the level of subjects' workload during the operations performed. The results of the eye tracking study suggest that performing basic manoeuvres develops strategies for scanning the space. It is advisable to conduct further research with larger groups of operators taking into account the division into groups with varying different licences.
