Scd: A 3 States Startle Copying Display To Manage Deleterious Effects Of Extreme Emergency Situation., Christophe Bey, Sylvian Hourlier, Jean-Marc Andre
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
The management of cognitive resources are central in the case of a decision-making process by pilots. We undertake a study involving Airbus 400M pilots and allowing to understand these mechanisms and to propose recommendations for the design of a tool to assist in the management of their cognitive resources. We find that in the most critical cases and under strong temporal pressure, the maintenance of control of the situation corresponds to a survival type behavior which alone can allow a return to the metarules (back to basics). Our display management proposal allows the pilot to maintain control of the situation …
The Training Of Operators In Single Pilot Operations: An Initial System Theoretic Consideration, Daniela Schmid, Neville A. Stanton
The Training Of Operators In Single Pilot Operations: An Initial System Theoretic Consideration, Daniela Schmid, Neville A. Stanton
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Single Pilot Operations (SPO) represent a viable concept for commercial aviation in near future. It will require different training regimes to contemporary airliners’ pilots because the single-pilot’s and remote operator’s (including the dispatcher’s) responsibilities and accompanying procedures will change, both in air and on ground. This initial system-theoretic analysis of suggestions for training of single pilot and remote-copilot identified the agreement of job rotation of both. Hence, pilots can still be trained in new single-pilot specific procedures in a special training fleet to includes the apprenticeship-style training in SPO. Advanced new automation tools will be challenging to be included into …
Operational Alerting Concept For Commercial Single Pilot Operations Systems, J P. Reitsma, M M. Van Paassen, M Mulder
Operational Alerting Concept For Commercial Single Pilot Operations Systems, J P. Reitsma, M M. Van Paassen, M Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Reducing high workload levels are a major challenge to enable single pilot operations. Where the pilot is currently supported with many automated systems, the role of mission planner is relatively unsupported, i.e., the flight crew is required to integrate and combine information from various sources to extract the implications on the missions’ high-level goals to determine if the mission can still be completed safely and successfully. An operational alerting display is developed to provide the pilot with a clear overview of the current and future operational flight constraints. This enables the pilot to determine if the initial plan is valid …
Depiction Of Vertical Flight Paths For Nextgen Arrival And Departure Instrument Flight Procedures, Divya C. Chandra
Depiction Of Vertical Flight Paths For Nextgen Arrival And Departure Instrument Flight Procedures, Divya C. Chandra
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Charts for instrument approach procedures have a vertical profile view that pilots can refer to during the final stages of the approach to the runway. However, there is no similar view of vertical flight path on charts for arrival and departure procedures. We studied whether a depiction of vertical flight path is feasible for arrivals and departures and whether it could help pilots manage procedures such as Optimized Profile Descents (OPDs), which are becoming common in the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). We identified sample procedures with challenging features including multiple flight path transitions, multiple constraints, course reversals, and …
Helmet Mounted Display Format And Spatial Audio Cueing Flight Test, Thomas Schnell, Eric Geiselman, Brian Simpson, Henry Williams
Helmet Mounted Display Format And Spatial Audio Cueing Flight Test, Thomas Schnell, Eric Geiselman, Brian Simpson, Henry Williams
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Historically, the objective of new technology development has been to enhance pilot performance (such as situation awareness) without causing problems such as Spatial Disorientation (SD). However, when improperly designed or poorly integrated, such technologies may actually reduce performance and increase the likelihood of unintended consequences. SD continues to be a serious problem in the military flight domain and it is critical that both the potential to cause problems as well as support effective defensive mitigation strategies be considered early in the development of new technologies. Past research has shown that new technologies can change operator behaviors. For example, the availability …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Great strides have been made in reducing the reams of paper-based materials that pilots were once required to bring into the cockpit. Much of that paper-based information is now available to pilots on electronic devices known as electronic kneeboards (EKBs). The main goal of this paper is to describe a design strategy we are using that integrates interdisciplinary perspectives and engages users in the design process. We describe the use of this design strategy to specify and design EKB applications (i.e., apps) that are uniquely supportive of the work demands faced by tactical pilots. As a result of the work …

The Use Of A Perceptual Speed Test In Civilian Pilot Selection, Hans-Juergen Hoermann, Diane L. Damos
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Perceptual speed is an important attribute for success as a pilot and has been assessed in many pilot selection batteries. The Tabular Speed Test (TST), a paper-and-pencil test of perceptual speed, was administered to 227 ab initio pilots and 152 licensed pilots who applied for employment at a large European airline. The airline had a multi-stage selection process including a computerized battery assessing quantitative and spatial abilities, short-term memory, psychomotor performance, multi-tasking, and personality. The number of correct responses (NC) had significant positive correlations for both ab initio and licensed pilots with measures of quantitative and spatial abilities, visual memory, …

Impact Of Atco Training And Expertise On Dynamic Spatial Abilities, Nadine Matton, Jean-Baptiste Gotteland, Géraud Granger, Nicolas Durand
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Dynamic spatial ability is supposed to be involved in a critical process of air traffic controllers, namely conflict detection. The present paper aims at testing whether dynamic spatial ability improves with air traffic control training and/or experience. We designed a laboratory task to assess the performance in predicting if two moving disks would collide or not. We conducted a crosssectional study with four groups of participants : ATCO trainees at the beginning (N=129), middle (N=80) or end of training (N=66) and experienced ATCOs (N=14). Results suggested on one hand that air traffic control training leads to a decrease in the …
Effects Of Decision Type And Aid Accuracy On User Performance, Lori Mahoney, Joseph W. Houpt
Effects Of Decision Type And Aid Accuracy On User Performance, Lori Mahoney, Joseph W. Houpt
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Automated aids provide users additional information for making decisions. The way the aid presents the information requires the user to either make the same decision as unaided or to agree or disagree with the aid’s recommendation. In this study, we measured response times and accuracy without an aid and with an aid where either: 1) the subject makes the same decision as the unaided condition, or 2) the subject agrees or disagrees with the automated aid’s decision. Results show subjects were more accurate with direct selection decisions, more accurate aids, and easier tasks, with an interaction between decision type and …

Effect Of Pain And Task Load On Flying Performance, Kellen Probert, Brian P. Dyre, Justin G. Hollands, Tristan Beaudoin, Elaine Maceda
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
An operationally-significant number of Griffon aircrew in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) develop chronic neck pain; however, it is unclear how this chronic pain affects their ability to accomplish their missions. Extant literature on pain and human performance has found that pain can negatively affect tasks constrained by short-term memory and attention switching. We sought to test whether pain has similar effects on personnel piloting helicopters in simulation. Twenty-three RCAF personnel flew a simulated Griffon helicopter through waypoints along a target path. We were particularly interested in the effects of three variables: a) the presence or absence of induced …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
The promise of intelligent decision support systems is presented as a harbinger for humankind. With the potential partnership between the human and autonomous system we could see a significant increase in effectiveness and safety. However, as we see both human and agent team members being integrated we must investigate ways in which we can assess not only the interaction between the two actors, but also the very nature of trust perceived by the human. In this paper we present early findings of an experiment that examines the human-autonomy interaction across different frameworks of authority; from manual to fully autonomous. Participants …
The Use Of 3d Modeling Software To Enhance Rotorcraft Maintenance Training, Celeste D. Torrez, Brian J. Kozak
The Use Of 3d Modeling Software To Enhance Rotorcraft Maintenance Training, Celeste D. Torrez, Brian J. Kozak
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
In order to obtain an airframe and powerplant (A&P) certificate, students must receive a minimum of 1,900 hours of instruction from an FAA approved 14 CFR Part 147 School. Within Part 147, students are only required to learn about helicopters at a level 1 proficiency, which requires only classroom lectures. In order to fill this possible gap in knowledge, the authors created a training exercise at the sophomore level. A helicopter tail rotor was simulated using CATIA to model common stresses on helicopter components. Additionally, helicopter accident reports were used to increase the understanding of proper maintenance, and how components …
Human-Autonomy Teaming - An Evolving Interaction Paradigm: Teaming And Automation, Dale Richards, Bill Kaliardos
Human-Autonomy Teaming - An Evolving Interaction Paradigm: Teaming And Automation, Dale Richards, Bill Kaliardos
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Intelligent and complex systems are becoming common in our workplace and our homes, providing direct assistance in transport, health and education domains. In many instances the nature of these systems are somewhat ubiquitous, and influence the manner in which we make decisions. Traditionally we understand the benefits of how humans work within teams, and the associated pitfalls and costs when this team fails to work. However, we can view the autonomous agent as a synthetic partner emerging in roles that have traditionally been the bastion of the human alone. Within these new Human-Autonomy Teams we can witness different levels of …

The School of Aviation and Transportation Technology at Purdue University utilizes a wide range of resources to train aspiring pilots, technicians, and managers. Aircraft operate in one of four practice areas located within a 30 nautical mile radius of the Purdue University Airport. Due to factors such as poor weather conditions, inexperience of student pilots, and proximity misjudgment, one aircraft could operate in close proximity to another in the same practice area, compromising the safety of both aircraft and causing a Near Midair Collision (NMAC) event due to miscommunication, misinterpretation, or failure to act on the part of the pilots …
Automated Speech Recognition Technology To Support In Flight Weather-Related Communication For Ga Pilots, Gaojian Huang, Brandon J. Pitts
Automated Speech Recognition Technology To Support In Flight Weather-Related Communication For Ga Pilots, Gaojian Huang, Brandon J. Pitts
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Weather information latency during flight in general aviation (GA) has resulted in numerous incidents. Hands-free automated speech recognition (ASR) systems have the potential to help overcome this challenge and facilitate rapid weatherrelated information exchange. However, it is unclear to what extent ASR systems can support pilot communication in such noisy environments. The goals of this study were to (1) evaluate the performance of 7 commercially-available ASR systems to recognize weather phrases during GA operations and (2) determine whether speech-to-noise (S/N) ratio, flight phase, and accent type modulate system performance. Overall, the highest accuracy percentage achieved by any system was 72%, …

This contribution primarily aims at the application field of military, highly automated manned/unmanned vehicle systems.
Temporary Memory Neuron For The Leaky Integrate And Fire Neuron Model, Jeffery D. Clark, William D. Mitchell, Krishnamurthy V. Vemuru, Steven D. Harbour
Temporary Memory Neuron For The Leaky Integrate And Fire Neuron Model, Jeffery D. Clark, William D. Mitchell, Krishnamurthy V. Vemuru, Steven D. Harbour
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Low-level terrain-following systems require the ability to rapidly and accurately respond to the environment to prevent inadvertent actions. Catastrophic and fatal results could occur if missed cues or latency issues in data processing are encountered. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have the computational ability to continuously process spike trains from rapid sensory input. However, most models of SNNs do not retain information from the spike train of a previous time step because the membrane potential is rapidly reset to a resting potential after activation. A novel approach is presented, allowing the spike train of a previous time step to be 'remembered.' …

Simulating Human-Robot Teamwork Dynamics For Evaluation Of Work Strategies In Human-Robot Teams, Martijin Ijtsma, Sean Ye, Karen M. Feigh, Amy Pritchett
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
To foster resilience in teams operating in complex work domains, design should allow for a range of work strategies as appropriate to context. This paper describes how computational simulation and network visualization of a team’s work can identify feasible work strategies and assess their appropriateness for different contexts. Network visualizations can identify constraints and dependencies that drive the feasible set of work strategies. After preliminary network analysis, these dependencies and inter-dependencies can be simulated in detail to better understand their impact. To illustrate, we describe a case study that explores two different work strategies that can each address the dependencies …
