- Limited focus on interpretation
Challenges For Flight Instructors Teaching Weather Information, Robert Thomas, Thomas A. Guinn
Challenges For Flight Instructors Teaching Weather Information, Robert Thomas, Thomas A. Guinn
Aviation Weather Training Research
- Flight Instructors face a challenge when teaching/learning weather information
- Multiple overlapping resources for aviation weather
- AC takes longer timeframe to update –problem for quick updates of information

General Aviation Weather Display Interpretation
Purpose
- Use the questions we developed in Phase I
- Include pilots that are more representative of GA (age, flight hours/experience); Collaborate with AOPA
- Examine: Knowledge about aviation weather products; Differences between levels of flight certificate and/or ratings

General Aviation Weather Display Interpretation
Over the last 30 years, a large percentage of weather-related aviation accidents have occurred under General Aviation (GA) operations (FAA, 2010; Fultz & Ashley, 2016; AOPA, 2008).
- Novice Private Pilots VFR into IMC
- High Risk For Incurring Fatality
Aviation Weather Challenges
- Difficult to interpret Aviation Weather Products
- Pilot's Decision Making Biases and Errors
- GA Pilots' Lack of Aviation Weather Experience
Shell Revisited: Cognitive Loading And Effects Of Digitized Flight Deck Automation, Mark D. Miller, Sam Holley
Shell Revisited: Cognitive Loading And Effects Of Digitized Flight Deck Automation, Mark D. Miller, Sam Holley
Publications
Acknowledging the SHELL human factors model, authors examine interfaces among components and assess problems created when the model is aligned with modern digitized flight deck systems. Complacency and overreliance on automated systems are evaluated, and cognitive load and potential for degraded situational awareness are examined. Authors present a SHELL overlay demonstrating where particular digitized functions and operations present challenges to operators and markedly influence effective SHELL interactions in highly complex flight deck systems. Human factors contributing to the Asiana Flight 214 accident are examined and correlates identified with the SHELL analysis. Implications for advanced crew resource management are presented, and …
