Flight Deck Procedures For A New Generation Of Pilots, Erik-Jan A.M. Huijbrechts, M. M. Van Paassen May 2023

Flight Deck Procedures For A New Generation Of Pilots, Erik-Jan A.M. Huijbrechts, M. M. Van Paassen

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

This paper considers the combined effect of two trends in commercial aviation. On the one hand, there is a continuing demand for pilots, implying that a new generation of pilots, will soon be flying our aircraft. On the other hand, legal aspects have had an adverse effect on innovation in the safety level of established procedures, leading to a trend for aircraft operating companies to adopt manufacturer’s recommended flight deck procedures rather than reviewing these and adapting these where appropriate to local needs. However, with the influx of new pilots to the workforce, the lack of innovation and adaptation of …

Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin May 2023

Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Culture has been identified as one of the main input factors impacting flight safety and team performance. Diverse methodologies were used to examine how professional culture influences helicopter pilots’ safety-related behaviours. Study 1 (mixed-methods survey) showed that the main difference between civilian- and military-trained pilots can be put down to ‘safety vs. efficiency’, with pilots mentioning that what is perceived to be a threat seems to differ between military-and civilian-trained helicopter pilots. Additionally, having a multi-professional crew (military- and civilian-trained pilots together in a cockpit) was seen as having a positive effect on all non-technical skills, especially on situation awareness. …

Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte May 2023

Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

In order to develop a comprehensive test scenario to detect the risk of early motion induced kinetosis, in aviation more commonly known as airsickness (AS), we conducted a detailed survey on the experiences of jet-aircraft student pilots, flight instructors, and flight physicians to discover AS-related flight maneuvers and other non-motion-induced triggers. Subsequently, we use these findings to design test scenarios that simulate the relevant stimuli in a controlled laboratory setting. Additionally, we propose how gaze tracking can be used to get further information about the pilot’s behaviour. For instance, it gives information about head-down times related to secondary tasks and …

Easy As Abc: A Mnemonic Procedure For Managing Startle And Surprise, Matteo Piras, Annemarie Landman, M. M. Van Paassen, Olaf Stroosma, Eric Groen, Max Mulder May 2023

Easy As Abc: A Mnemonic Procedure For Managing Startle And Surprise, Matteo Piras, Annemarie Landman, M. M. Van Paassen, Olaf Stroosma, Eric Groen, Max Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Background. Mnemonic procedures are currently being taught to airline pilots to manage startle and surprise. We previously tested the effectiveness of a four-item mnemonic. Pilots generally rated it as useful but some re-marked that it induced too much additional workload. Therefore, we tested whether a simpler mnemonic, Aviate-Breathe-Check, would be more useful. Method. The experiment took place in a hexapod simulator with a Piper Seneca aerodynamic model and a generic cockpit. Airline pilots (n = 25) were divided into an experimental (“ABC”) and control group. All received ground training on startle and surprise, which included instructions on the ABC mnemonic …

Development Of A Prototype Vertiport Human Automation Teaming Toolbox For Urban Air Mobility, Paul Krois, Joseph Block, Paul Cobb, Gano Chatterji, Cherie Kurian, Peng Wei, Shulu Chen

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

The future airspace system is envisioned to include urban air mobility enabled by new types of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for transporting passengers and cargo quickly and safely. Success will depend, in part, on the design and operation of vertiports, that like airports and heliports, will enable these aircraft to transfer passengers and cargo, land, recharge and takeoff. Human factors need to be considered in these designs with humans in the role of vertiport operators. Requirements for arrival, surface, and departure traffic and the interaction of the human operators with increasingly autonomous aircraft and decision support systems have …

How Aviation Students Used An Escape Room To Assess Sa From A Collaborative And Individual Approach, Andrew R. Dattel, Hui Wang, Corey Spitz, Miles Moyer, Kyhan Gulsen

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

A class on situation awareness (SA), taught at an aeronautical university, has been a favorite graduate course for the past 7 years. One requirement for the course is to conduct a non-aviation related SA class project. The most recent class assessed how collaborative efforts compared to individual efforts affect SA at an escape room. The team of five participants instructed to solve puzzles individually showed significantly better SA than the team of five participants instructed to solve the puzzles collaboratively. The collaborative group spent more time conversing with each other about solving the puzzles than those instructed to work individually. …

Examining The Relationship Between Workload And Resilient Performance In Airline Flight Crews, Michael Stewart, Kathryn M. Ballard, Chad L. Stephens, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Jon B. Holbrook, Tyler D. Fettrow, Daniel J. Kiggins

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Workload has long been associated with human performance in aviation. High workload is typically viewed as a system design problem. The aim of this work was to find observable behaviors that guard cognitive resource margins; thus, improve handling of perturbations that arise. Twelve commercial airline flight crews participated in an experiment at NASA Langley Research Center. We explored self-reported workload data (NASA Task Load Index) after completing flight simulation scenarios to see how different individuals, using the same technologies, cope with challenging situations. A trained observer (from the same airline as the study participants) assessed performance. We differentiated a lower …

Concept Of A Goal And Plan Recognition System For Adaptive Pilot Assistance In Helicopter Operations, Dominik Künzel, Axel Schulte May 2023

Concept Of A Goal And Plan Recognition System For Adaptive Pilot Assistance In Helicopter Operations, Dominik Künzel, Axel Schulte

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

This article presents a first concept of a pilot assistant system that adapts its support to the current intent of the pilot during Manned-Unmanned-Teaming (MUM-T) helicopter missions. Assistant systems often depend on a pre-defined plan. Due to unpredicted situational changes, the plan can deteriorate, and the system is not able to assist anymore. We envisage a system design that will infer the pilot’s intent by using a domain theory approach (plan recognition as planning). To compose a possible plan, a sequence of decisions about the relevant actions is necessary. Thus, we formulate sequential planning problems using Partially Observable Markov Decision …

Comparison Of Delegation Methods For Task-Based Uav Guidance, Marius Dudek, Axel Schulte May 2023

Comparison Of Delegation Methods For Task-Based Uav Guidance, Marius Dudek, Axel Schulte

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

In this contribution we compare UAV delegation methods from a fighter-jet cockpit. Recent research approaches to UAV mission management have mainly been using touchscreen interactions and little research has systematically analyzed different input methods to delegate tasks. In this article, we present three UAV delegation methods that use touchscreen interactions, voice control, and a combination of eye-tracking and HOTAS buttons. The presented methods were integrated in a fighter-jet simulator and evaluated with ten participants. The performance of participants varied for different combinations of delegation method and task load. Touchscreen interaction was fastest on average, followed by voice interaction. The number …

Experimental Evaluation Of Cloud-Based Synchronous Mult-Pilot Multiuav Mission Plan Generation In A Mum-T Environment, Siegfried Maier, Axel Schulte May 2023

Experimental Evaluation Of Cloud-Based Synchronous Mult-Pilot Multiuav Mission Plan Generation In A Mum-T Environment, Siegfried Maier, Axel Schulte

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

In this study, we compares two approaches for creating mission plans in mannedunmanned teams (MUM-T). In traditional military MUM-T air operations, one human pilot commands multiple UAVs in package-based planning. In situations where multiple teams are working together, it could be helpful to provide all human pilots with equal and simultaneous access to all available UAVs and remove hierarchical boundaries at the team level through a cloud-based approach. The experimental study involved 10 teams of 2 participants each to compare the two approaches. After each mission, participants completed a NASA-TLX questionnaire to assess their workload and rated their perceptions of …

What Can We Learn From Resilient Pilot Behaviors? The Case Of Energy Management While Flying A Star, Randall J. Mumaw, Dorrit Billman, Barth Baron Jr. May 2023

What Can We Learn From Resilient Pilot Behaviors? The Case Of Energy Management While Flying A Star, Randall J. Mumaw, Dorrit Billman, Barth Baron Jr.

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Recently, there has been increased interest in documenting flightcrew behaviors that contribute to safe operations. Instead of only capturing errors, new efforts are attempting to understand how pilots manage complexity and variability in the operational environment to ensure a safe mission. This approach highlights pilot responses to events and conditions that fall outside typical TEM threats; e.g., revised ATC clearances. This approach presents a two-sided coin: characterize flightcrew resilience /or/ generate insights regarding complexity in the operational environment that is not adequately managed by current flight deck interface designs, procedures, and training. To capture operational complexity, we have been analyzing …

Defining Needs For Enhanced Weather Products For Uas And Ga Stakeeholders: A Qualitative Study, Scout Hernandez, Nicoletta Fala

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Weather is a major influencing factor in determining if a pilot can safely fly on any given day. Unfavorable weather conditions can cause accidents and lead to potential injuries or death. In this paper, we use focus groups to gather perspectives of General Aviation (GA) pilots and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) operators on weather communication products and their influence on weather-related decision-making. GA pilots have used products to make informed decisions for a while, but UAS operators are relatively new to their adoption and may have different methods of usage. Understanding how both groups perceive weather communication and prediction will …

The Weak Signals Of Cyber Discerning And Learning That Which Is Meant To Be Imperceptible, Illusory, And To Inveigle, Elena St Amour, Phat Ngo, Tameah Young, James Ness

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Cyber threats are often weak signals designed to exploit targeted systems. These signals manipulate cyber, psyber, and risk communication components of the signal to diminish signal-to-noise ratio. Cyber components are the physical aspects of the signal that can range from viral code to the use of aberrant signals from the electromagnetic spectrum to confound operations such as global positioning systems. The psyber component includes the behavioral propensities of the individual operator and level of experience detecting and managing threats. Risk communication is the tension set by the organizational culture priming individual operator propensities. The psyber components affect the ability to …

Pilots’ Eye Behavior And Electrodermal Activity During Flight, Gajapriya Tamilselvan, Stephen M. Belt

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate how a given flight task manifested in pilots’ eye behavior and electrodermal activity and how they changed over the course of an instrument flight session. This study implemented a quasi-experimental one-group time series design to identify attentional and emotional states of pilots. Pilots were emotionally aroused during flight segments like takeoff and climb, approach and landing-1, missed approach, and approach and landing-2. Pilots felt visually demanding during takeoff and climb, approach and landing-1, missed approach, en route-2, and approach and landing-2. Missed approach was the most visually taxing flight segment, where pilots …

Preventing Scenario Recognition In Human-In-The-Loop Air Traffic Control Research, Gijs De Rooij, Clark Borst, M. M. Van Paassen, Max Mulder May 2023

Preventing Scenario Recognition In Human-In-The-Loop Air Traffic Control Research, Gijs De Rooij, Clark Borst, M. M. Van Paassen, Max Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

In academic air traffic control research, traffic scenarios are often repeated to increase the sample size and enable paired-sample comparisons, e.g., between different display variants. This comes with the risk that participants recognize scenarios and consequently recall the desired response. In this paper we provide an overview of mitigation techniques found in literature and conclude that ro-tating scenario geometries is most frequently used. The potential impact of these transformations on participant behavior, as described in this paper, is however not sufficiently addressed in most studies. As an example we, therefore, analyze previously collected eye tracking data from ten professional air …

Stereoscopic Depth Cues For Enhancing Pilot Interpretation Of The Artificial Horizon, Dale-Allen Arrundell, Annemarie Landman, Olaf Stroosma, M. M. Van Paassen, Eric Groen, Max Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Background. Previous studies and accident analyses have shown that pilots can make roll reversal errors when responding to bank angles shown by the artificial horizon in the Primary Flight Display (PFD). In the current study, we tested whether adding stereoscopic depth cues to the artificial horizon may lead to better bank angle representation due to an improved figure-ground separation between the symbols. Method. Stereoscopic depth cues were created by using a half-silvered mirror multi-layer PFD, which presented the horizon symbol on a lower layer and the aircraft symbol on a higher layer. A group of 23 non-pilots and 18 general …

A Natural Language Processing Model For Analyzing Aviation Safety Event Reports: A Subset Of Results, R. Jordan Hinson, Edward Bynum, Amelia Kinsella, Katherine Berry, Michael Sawyer

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Many civil aviation authorities, operators, and manufacturers utilize voluntary safety reporting programs (VSRPs) to understand risk within their operations. Insights from these first-hand accounts can lead to significant safety and efficiency improvements. Subject matter experts often read and analyze these reports by labeling factors of interest to derive safety insights. The resources required for this analysis can limit the insights an organization can obtain from their VSRP data. A novel machine learning model was developed and trained on over 50,000 rows of manually labeled aviation VSRP data. This model uses machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to automate the …
