Analysis Of The Impact Of Scenario-Based Training On The Aeronautical Decision Making Of Collegiate Flight Students, Mariko Genevieve Doskow
Analysis Of The Impact Of Scenario-Based Training On The Aeronautical Decision Making Of Collegiate Flight Students, Mariko Genevieve Doskow
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
The persistence of faulty decision making as a primary cause of accidents indicates a need to train pilots to make better decisions. The purpose of this study was to analyze scenario-based training's effectiveness at improving the aeronautical decision making of collegiate flight students. The researcher scored each participant's aeronautical decision making as they completed simulated flights in an advanced aviation training device. The scores quantified the participants' aeronautical decision making on seven decision-making variables and served as the basis for generating an overall decision making score for each participant. The experimental group completed a scenario-based aeronautical decision making treatment between …
The Effect On Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Reporting Culture From Implementing An Aviation Safety Action Program, Robert Blake Kelly
The Effect On Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Reporting Culture From Implementing An Aviation Safety Action Program, Robert Blake Kelly
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
The Flight Training Department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, has been contemplating implementing an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) in order to help protect students and instructors from certificate action. This feasibility study analyzed what motivated instructor pilots to submit safety reports, and if an ASAP would increase reporting from instructor pilots. It also identified what concerns existed among instructors and managers regarding an ASAP. A survey was given to instructors and managers; also instructors in leadership roles were interviewed. It was found that the benefit to the organization and peers was the highest motivation factor to submit safety …

Spacecraft And Propulsion Technician Error, Daniel Clyde Schultz
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
Commercial aviation and commercial space similarly launch, fly, and land passenger vehicles. Unlike aviation, the U.S. government has not established maintenance policies for commercial space. This study conducted a mixed methods review of 610 U.S. space launches from 1984 through 2011, which included 31 failures. An analysis of the failure causal factors showed that human error accounted for 76% of those failures, which included workmanship error accounting for 29% of the failures. With the imminent future of commercial space travel, the increased potential for the loss of human life demands that changes be made to the standardized procedures, training, and …
