Voluntary And Confidential Reporting Systems As A Means Of Reducing The Accident Rate In Shadow 200 Flight Operations, William Lawrence Jagnow
Voluntary And Confidential Reporting Systems As A Means Of Reducing The Accident Rate In Shadow 200 Flight Operations, William Lawrence Jagnow
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
Although effective, the United States Army's Shadow 200 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle has suffered an unacceptably high accident rate. Errors committed by operators have significantly contributed to this accident rate. The voluntary and confidential Aviation Safety Reporting System and Aviation Safety Action Program have been successful in identifying and addressing errors committed by air carrier pilots. This study has explored the implementation of voluntary and confidential reporting systems in Shadow 200 flight operations. Mixed methods research combined quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data as a means of determining attitudes relevant to the implementation of such systems. Identified deficiencies included: (a) …
The Effect Of Display Design On Pilot Performance In Controlled Flight Into Terrain Scenarios, Jeremy Charles Smith
The Effect Of Display Design On Pilot Performance In Controlled Flight Into Terrain Scenarios, Jeremy Charles Smith
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
New technologies are being developed to prevent the continuing problem of Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accidents. One such technology, the Synthetic Vision System, seems to hold the solution. While it is readily adapted to the commercial aviation instrument environment, it may not be intuitive enough for the General Aviation private pilot with minimal instrument training. This experiment attempted to examine how pilots of every experience level use and interpret the depiction of synthetic terrain to recognize and avoid potential CFIT situations. The outcome of CFIT was measured against pilot experience and display condition.

"In a previous study, multiple regression techniques were applied to Flight Operations Quality Assurance-derived data to develop parsimonious model(s) for fuel consumption on the Boeing 757 airplane. The present study examined several data mining algorithms, including neural networks, on the fuel consumption problem and compared them to the multiple regression results obtained earlier. Using regression methods, parsimonious models were obtained that explained approximately 85% of the variation in fuel flow. In general data mining methods were more effective in predicting fuel consumption. Classification and Regression Tree methods reported correlation coefficients of .91 to .92, and General Linear Models and Multilayer …
