Consumers’ Trust In Pilots Based On Pilot’S Preference For Use Of Breathalyzer In The Cockpit, Katie Marie Reid
Consumers’ Trust In Pilots Based On Pilot’S Preference For Use Of Breathalyzer In The Cockpit, Katie Marie Reid
Theses and Dissertations
Trust has been studied across disciplines for years, with the focus looking at trust between individuals, between individuals and organizations, and between organizations (Lee & See, 2004). Establishing trust between people has been an issue for decades (Simpson, 2011), but defining it has proved difficult as well. Within the aviation industry, there has been a lack of research exploring how trust is affected from the consumer’s or passenger’s perspective. Aviation is one of the major forms of transportation in today’s culture, and understanding consumers’ trust is important for safety and economic reasons. The current study will use a 5-point Likert-type …

Evaluation Of An Eye Tracking-Based Assessment And Debrief Tool For Training Next Generation Multirole Tactical Aviation Skills, Meredith Carroll, Glenn Surpris, Greg Sidor, Winston Bennett Jr.
Aeronautics Faculty Publications
As tactical aircraft become increasingly complex, pilots’ cognitive resources will become increasingly strained, especially as more critical and multifaceted information is presented on Helmet Mounted Displays (HMDs). Therefore, it is critical to ensure training results in pilots learning optimal strategies for operating in this information-rich environment, including appropriate attention allocation between different dynamic, adjustable displays and efficient scan strategies. To achieve this, a performance assessment and debrief system was developed that incorporates eye tracking technology into an HMD-enabled multirole fighter simulation to capture and process gaze data to aid in diagnosing why a pilot error occurred. The system utilizes eye …

Validity And Reliability Of A Mini Situational Judgment Test (Sjt) For Pilots, Lu Shi
Theses and Dissertations
The situational judgment test (SJT) was developed by Hunter (2002) to test pilot judgment. SJT is very useful. However, this test takes too long for participants to complete. A mini SJT was developed with shortened questions. The purpose of this research was to determine the reliability and validity of mini SJT comprised of 16 of the original 51 questions. Validity and reliability were the two key elements in psychometrics. Face validity was used as a method to measure validity. Reliability was determined by Cronbach's Alpha, the correlation of split half and even odd, and Pearson s correlation of test retest. …
Airline Consumers’ Perception Of Transport Security Administration’S Prohibited Items, Clayton Ernest D'Souza
Airline Consumers’ Perception Of Transport Security Administration’S Prohibited Items, Clayton Ernest D'Souza
Theses and Dissertations
There has been limited research conducted and significantly limited scholarly articles on consumer attitudes towards the current TSA prohibited items list. If the research were to be conducted a year after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the results of the research would be negatively skewed, indicating the majority of passengers would approve of the TSA prohibited list. But after almost thirteen years since the devastating act of terrorism and no major attempt to repeat a similar terrorist activity, would airline consumers continue to fly if the TSA amended the prohibited items list and allowed passengers to bring on liquids and …
Ascent And Scenario-Based Time Of Useful Consciousness (Tuc), Lenka Cipova
Ascent And Scenario-Based Time Of Useful Consciousness (Tuc), Lenka Cipova
Theses and Dissertations
The Time of Useful Consciousness (TUC) is a standardized table that has been used by aviation regulatory, safety, and manufacturing organizations for over 50 years to better understand the potential danger of cabin depressurization. It emphasizes the importance of the immediate donning of oxygen masks at high altitudes in the event of a cabin depressurization which otherwise would result in the loss of consciousness. The current TUC table was developed from research in high-altitude (hypobaric) chambers by taking the pilots to various high altitudes while wearing oxygen masks at which point they removed their masks and engaged in various psychological …

Probability Distributions And Threshold Selection For Monte Carlo–Type Tropical Cyclone Wind Speed Forecasts, Steven M. Lazarus, Michael E. Splitt, Sarah Collins, Denis N. Botambekov, William P. Roeder
Aeronautics Faculty Publications
Probabilistic wind speed forecasts for tropical cyclones from Monte Carlo–type simulations are assessed within a theoretical framework for a simple unbiased Gaussian system that is based on feature size and location error that mimic tropical cyclone wind fields. Aspects of the wind speed probability data distribution, including maximumexpected probability and forecast skill, are assessed. Wind speed probability distributions are shown to be well approximated by a bounded power-law distribution when the feature size is smaller than the location error and tends toward a U-shaped distribution as the location error becomes small. Forecast skill (i.e., true and Heidke skill scores) is …

Obtaining Objective Measurements Of Reaction Times To Auditory Alarms, Andrew George Neubauer
Theses and Dissertations
Several pulse parameters that were believed to affect response time to auditory alarms were investigated in a factorial experiment. 18 subjects, (14 male, 4 female), participated in an experiment where the effects of inter-pulse interval (125, 250, and 500 milliseconds) and pulse format (sine, sawtooth, and square waves) on both selfreported ratings of workload and reaction time to alarms (auditory and visual) were explored. The results show that alarms with a shorter inter-pulse interval produced the fastest reaction times. Subjective preferences were rated as equal. Accuracy was equal across groups as measured by amount of errors in responding to auditory …
