A Comparative Analysis Of Three Major Transfer Airports In Northeast Asia Focusing On Incheon International Airport Using A Conjoint Analysis, Tae Won Chung, Yong Joo Lee, Hyun Mi Jang

Finance and Supply Chain Faculty Scholarship

Due mainly to the privatization and commercialization of airline companies and deregulation of the aviation rules, the demand for air transport has continuously been increasing. Airport authorities state that transfer passengers, who contribute to the large portion of the airports’ profits, are gaining much more importance, particularly in the Northeast Asia region where the air transport industry is very vital. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the competitiveness of IIA (Incheon International Airport) with other major airports located in Northeast Asia in passenger transfers made between Southeast Asia and China to North America using Conjoint Analysis. Results have indicated that …

Vfr Flight Into Imc: Reducing The Hazard, Dale R. Wilson, Teresa Sloan

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Aircraft accidents resulting from initiating or continuing visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) continue to be one of the leading causes of fatal aircraft accidents. This paper outlines the nature and scope of this hazard and reviews past and present initiatives designed to reduce it. It also suggests future interventions that may be effective in reducing the threat of this aviation hazard.

Optimistic And Ability Biases In Pilots’ Decisions And Perceptions Of Risk Regarding Vfr Flight Into Imc, Dale R. Wilson, Marte Fallshore

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Aircraft accidents resulting from attempted visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) continue to be one of the leading causes of fatalities in aviation. The aim of this study is to determine the role which two decision biases— optimistic bias and ability bias—may play in pilots’ decisions and perceptions of risk regarding VFR flight into IMC. A questionnaire designed to test for the presence of these biases was administered to 57 pilots enrolled in a university flight-training program and 103 general aviation pilots attending two FAA aviation safety seminars. Respondents were asked to rate their chances of …

Darkness Increases Risks Of Flight, Dale R. Wilson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Human perceptual limitations are blamed for specific types of accidents that are more likely to occur in darkness than in daylight. Special hazards associated with night flying continue to cause accidents despite efforts to inform pilots of the risks.

A Feasibility Study Of Aircraft Mechanics Program And Flight Training At Spokane Community College, Kenneth Gaylord Brown

All Master's Theses

This paper was designed to study the flight-training program of the aviation department at Spokane Community College and its relationship to mechanics employability. Questionnaires were designed to sample the mechanic-employer relationship in regard to mechanics with flight experience to determine whether this experience was an advantage or detriment to the aircraft mechanic seeking employment.

Recommendations proposed were expansion of the existing flight program at Spokane Community College and the practicality of adoption of flight training by similar schools.

A Correlation Study Of The Washington Pre-College Test Scores To Determine Which Scores Are The Best Predictors Of Success In Flight Aviation At The Big Bend Community College, Richard H. Pearce

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to determine how a student's Washington Pre-College test results and his high school grade point average can best be used in deciding which people have the greatest chance to succeed in the Big Bend Community College flight aviation program. For the past four years of the aviation program it has been necessary to choose approximately seventy students for the program from as many as two hundred applicants. The counseling staff of the college in cooperation with the flight aviation department has used the high school grade point average as a primary tool in order …
