Assessing The Methodological Quality Of Aviation Research: A Content Analysis Of Articles Published In Subscription And Open Access Aviation Journals 2014-2016, Isa Tuncman
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the study was to determine to what extent aviation research articles were consistent with commonly recommended research protocols. Using a purposive sampling strategy, two subscription and five open access journals published from 2014 to 2016 were targeted, and 139 articles were reviewed using a category based, researcher-developed coding form grounded in commonly accepted research practices presented in educational research methods textbooks. The form reflected models from the medical research community and employed a 3-point scoring rubric: 0 = Not Reported, 1 = Inadequate, and 2 = Adequate. At least two coders reviewed each article, and corresponding Krippendorff …
The Effect Of Intensive Auditory Cues On Flight Passengers’ Safe Behaviors, Tianhua Li
The Effect Of Intensive Auditory Cues On Flight Passengers’ Safe Behaviors, Tianhua Li
Theses and Dissertations
When passengers do not follow in-flight announcements, injuries can occur. It is critical to draw passengers’ attention and help them be aware of the importance of the instructions provided during in-flight announcements. Passengers’ attention can be improved by providing intensive auditory cues before announcements. The auditory cues with intensive acoustic parameters increase the hearers’ perceived level of urgency, and then, they are more likely to perform safer behaviors. Also, when the intensity level increases to an intermediate level, the stimulated persons should have better performance. However, when it increases excessively, their performance may be impaired. The study examined the effect …
Willingness To Pilot In Different Aircraft Sanitization Scenarios, Nicholas Valluzzi, Jesse Shacknai, Brooke Wheeler, Tianhua Li
Willingness To Pilot In Different Aircraft Sanitization Scenarios, Nicholas Valluzzi, Jesse Shacknai, Brooke Wheeler, Tianhua Li
Aeronautics Student Publications
A stratified sample of Part 141 ground school classes participated in a questionnaire which determined their willingness to pilot among four different aircraft sanitization scenarios. The sanitization scenarios with more precautions resulted in an increased willingness to pilot.
Airline Brand Experience Passengers’ Perceptions Of The Big Three Carriers In The United States, Sarinthree Udchachone
Airline Brand Experience Passengers’ Perceptions Of The Big Three Carriers In The United States, Sarinthree Udchachone
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the study was to observe passengers’ perceptions about brand experience research in the airline industry by applying a transcendental or descriptive phenomenological methodology designed to evaluate interview transcriptions and organize derived knowledge into defined themes. The NVivo program was utilized to analyze data from textual transcriptions. The experiences of passengers of the Big Three United States legacy carriers, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, were described. The participants comprised three couples and seven individuals, all frequent-flyer members of the Big Three carriers and their partnering global airline alliances. The researcher-constructed instrument was used for …
Set Your Sights High: The Effect Of Heads-Up Displays On Situation Awareness And Performance For Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Summer Lindsey Rebensky
Set Your Sights High: The Effect Of Heads-Up Displays On Situation Awareness And Performance For Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Summer Lindsey Rebensky
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of two interface designs—traditional and heads-up displays (HUDs)—on situation awareness (SA), performance, and workload for sUAS operations. The study utilized an experimental repeated measures design to determine the relationship between interface design on the various dependent variables through a simulated search and rescue mission. Participants flew two simulated search and rescue missions to find missing persons utilizing traditional and HUD displays. During the missions, participants took pictures of human targets and were queried on their SA using the freeze probe SAGAT approach. Then participants rated their subjective SA using …
General Aviation Airport Runway Incursions: A Qualitative Approach To Examining Reasons For, Barriers To Addressing, And Lessons Learned From Airport Managers' First-Hand Experiences, Indira Maharaj
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the study was manifold: (a) to understand the reasons for runway incursions (RIs) at general aviation (GA) airports, (b) to describe the barriers to addressing runway incursions at GA airports, and (c) to describe the lessons learned from addressing runway incursions at GA airports. This study was based primarily on a phenomenological research design, which led to a set of inductively derived conjectures. The study’s sample consisted of 10 GA airports that had at least 10 times the number of GA operations than the number of air carrier (commercial) operations as reported in the Air Traffic Activity …
