Evaluating Team Dynamics For Collaborative Communication Alignment Tasks, Adam Jones, Nia S. Peters May 2019

Evaluating Team Dynamics For Collaborative Communication Alignment Tasks, Adam Jones, Nia S. Peters

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

The primary focus of this work is in exploring human teaming dynamics within goal-oriented communication alignments tasks. A communication alignment task within the context of this work is one in which two teammates have the exact same target information, but from differing perspectives and must communicate in an effort to align their knowledge and agree on the target output. Such an interaction within aviation could occur between a pilot and air traffic controller or ground troop personnel and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) controller. The goal is to compare the task performance and time of completion of a communication alignment task …

Depiction Of Vertical Flight Paths For Nextgen Arrival And Departure Instrument Flight Procedures, Divya C. Chandra May 2019

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 …

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 Use Of 3d Modeling Software To Enhance Rotorcraft Maintenance Training, Celeste D. Torrez, Brian J. Kozak May 2019

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 …

If We’D Only Listen! What Research Can Tell Us About Aircrew Fatigue., Christina Ruudin-Brown, Ari Rosberg, Danielle Krukowski May 2019

If We’D Only Listen! What Research Can Tell Us About Aircrew Fatigue., Christina Ruudin-Brown, Ari Rosberg, Danielle Krukowski

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

Performance decrements associated with fatigue are significant risk factors of occupational, motor vehicle, and aviation accidents. The substantial number of recent aviation occurrences involving aircrew fatigue and the slow progress of related rulemaking prompted the TSB to include fatigue management on its 2018 Watchlist of key safety issues. At the same time, a finding of aircrew fatigue in a 2017 NTSB investigation into a near-taxiway landing prompted some journalists to argue that there are few, if any, research studies showing how fatigue affects flying ability, and that current efforts in fatigue management may not be effective. This paper explores research …

A History Of The Air Traffic Control Collegiate Training Initiative (At-Cti) Program, Darendia Mccauley, Dana Broach May 2019

A History Of The Air Traffic Control Collegiate Training Initiative (At-Cti) Program, Darendia Mccauley, Dana Broach

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

In the 1989 FAA Flight Plan for Training, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed testing the concept of off-loading some portion of air traffic control specialist (ATCS) training to colleges and universities. This was the genesis of the program that became known as the Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI). The AT-CTI program was initiated as a cost saving effort to defer some of the basic ATCS educational elements to participating colleges and universities. Beginning in 1989, the FAA entered into partnerships with selected post-secondary educational institutions to conduct some portion of ATCS technical training as a demonstration program. The …

A Tablet-Computer App Displaying Runway Winds, William R. Knecht May 2019

A Tablet-Computer App Displaying Runway Winds, William R. Knecht

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

We tested variants of a mobile meteorological tablet-computer application designed to help general aviation (GA) pilots land aircraft more safely under windy conditions. This “app” compared METAR runway wind information in several graphical and textual formats. Study 1 tested 25 GA pilots on 18 runway wind scenarios. Graphical METARs depicted the runway with a large arrow at 90°, representing the crosswind speed component, and a second arrow parallel to the runway, representing the headwind/tailwind component. We hypothesized that eliminating the need for complex mental calculation of wind components would increase speed and/or accuracy of information processing. Study 2 tested 17 …

Understanding Current Ways Of Reporting Runway Incursion Incidents At Towered Airports, Divya Bhargava, Karen Marais May 2019

Understanding Current Ways Of Reporting Runway Incursion Incidents At Towered Airports, Divya Bhargava, Karen Marais

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

Runway incursions occur when an unauthorized aircraft, vehicle or pedestrian operates on a runway. While most incursions are near-misses, they have the potential of turning into fatal accidents such as the Tenerife accident. Despite various efforts to reduce runway incursions, the number of incursions has been increasing. Learning from past incidents can help us develop effective preventive strategies but lack of in-depth investigations limits our understanding of the causes of incursions. At towered airports, the controller on duty reports the incident to the FAA using a form asking them to describe the incident in their own words. Our research question …

What Is Safety Data?, Julia Pounds, Paul Krois May 2019

What Is Safety Data?, Julia Pounds, Paul Krois

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

This paper reports on our efforts to determine if the ubiquitous term safety data can be more specifically defined. That is, whether data can be categorized as safety data based on some unique characteristics such that other data not having these would be categorized as not safety data. FAA analysts rely on multiple sources of objective data for virtually all analyses supporting FAA’s decision making. While profuse amounts of data are continuously collected twenty-four hours a day, only subsets are deemed useful for any particular purpose, such as assessing how well an organization conducts its safety or efficiency or security …

Helmet Mounted Display Format And Spatial Audio Cueing Flight Test, Thomas Schnell, Eric Geiselman, Brian Simpson, Henry Williams May 2019

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 …

Hazardous Attitudes In Us Part 121 Airline Accidents, Bryan Nuñez, Carlos López, Jonathan Velazquez, Oswart A. Mora, Kevin Román

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

The greater part of aviation accidents is often attributed to human error, with flight crew performance accounting for the majority of these mishaps. In 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a rule to address pilot professionalism and to increase the likelihood that aviators adhere to standard procedures and prevent behavior that could lead to pilot errors in the airline domain. The FAA has identified 5 Hazardous Attitudes that afflict pilots: macho, impulsivity, resignation, invulnerability, and anti-authority. This study examined the FAA-defined Hazardous Attitudes and the regularity with which they occurred in the U.S. air carrier flight crew related accidents …

Pilot Wellbeing & Work Related Stress (Wrs), Joan Cahill, Paul Cullen, Keith Gaynor May 2019

Pilot Wellbeing & Work Related Stress (Wrs), Joan Cahill, Paul Cullen, Keith Gaynor

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

This paper presents the preliminary findings of an anonymous web-based survey addresing pilot work related stress (WRS) and wellbeing. The initial analysis indicates that pilots are under stress and experiencing wellbeing problems. Specific features of the job can result in wellbeing problems, spanning the three pillars of wellbeing. Critically, sources of WRS can increase a pilot’s risk in terms of developing a mental health (MH) issue. Further, sources of WRS can impact on performance and safety. Considerable barriers still remain in relation to reporting MH issues at work. Coping mechanisms addressing sleep/fatigue, diet, exercise and communication/reporting, enable some pilots to …

From Crewed To Single-Pilot Operations: Pilot Performance And Workload Management, Anja K. Faulhaber May 2019

From Crewed To Single-Pilot Operations: Pilot Performance And Workload Management, Anja K. Faulhaber

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

Higher levels of automation have come to replace human roles in the cockpit. Therefore, a further reduction of the crew size from two pilots to one has become an option. Such single-pilot operations (SPO) need to provide at least the same safety standards as today’s two-crew operations (TCO). The present study aims at identifying potential issues in pilot performance and workload during SPO as opposed to TCO. Fourteen pilots flew short ILS approach and landing scenarios in a fixed-base A320 flight simulator. A 2x3 factorial design was used with the factors crew configuration (TCO and SPO) and scenario (baseline, turbulence …

Mission-Ready Adaptive Decision Aids: The New Performance Model For Crew Station Design, Kevin M. Smith May 2019

Mission-Ready Adaptive Decision Aids: The New Performance Model For Crew Station Design, Kevin M. Smith

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

Discussed are three theories: 1) Baysian probability theory, 2) signal detection theory, and 3) operational decision theory. To combine the three is to come to an understanding of how one can operate effectively in complex environments. Complex environments present unique challenges from a human performance perspective. They require applying uncommon skill sets to allow for optimization of performance. Applying analytic methods to clarify and respond to mission critical events is most urgent. The analytics of uncertainty is presented. Three mission critical decisions are discussed: to continue or abandon the mission, to perform the approach go-around maneuver, and to determine the …

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 …

Reinforcement Learning In Aviation, Either Unmanned Or Manned, With An Injection Of Ai, Krishnamurthy V. Vemuru, Steven D. Harbour, Jeffery D. Clark May 2019

Reinforcement Learning In Aviation, Either Unmanned Or Manned, With An Injection Of Ai, Krishnamurthy V. Vemuru, Steven D. Harbour, Jeffery D. Clark

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

We propose a novel theme of aviation with the injection of AI in the form of a reinforcement learning (RL) agent that learns flying skills by observing the pilot’s psychological reaction and flight path in a simulator. The pilot and the RL agent learn flying skills simultaneously, forming a symbiotic relationship. The episodes for training the reinforcement learning agent can be simulated by a pilot flying in a simulator, or unmanned using a game on a computer. In a typical episode, the reinforcement learning agent provides a sequence of actions for the pilot to follow. These instructions produce one of …

Cleaning Genotype Data From Diversity Outbred Mice., Karl W Broman, Daniel M. Gatti, Karen L. Svenson, Śaunak Sen, Gary Churchill

Faculty Research 2019

Data cleaning is an important first step in most statistical analyses, including efforts to map the genetic loci that contribute to variation in quantitative traits. Here we illustrate approaches to quality control and cleaning of array-based genotyping data for multiparent populations (experimental crosses derived from more than two founder strains), using MegaMUGA array data from a set of 291 Diversity Outbred (DO) mice. Our approach employs data visualizations that can reveal problems at the level of individual mice or with individual SNP markers. We find that the proportion of missing genotypes for each mouse is an effective indicator of sample …

Individualized Landing Flare Training Using Both Flight Performance And Psychophysiological Measures, Jorg Onno Entzinger May 2019

Individualized Landing Flare Training Using Both Flight Performance And Psychophysiological Measures, Jorg Onno Entzinger

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

In this paper, we propose the analysis of various measures of eye and heart-rate data in addition to the flown trajectories and landing result, to get a better understanding of a trainee’s learning phase and optimize the time spent on and exercises used for the flare training. A problem often experienced is that the trainee knows what to do and tries to a level that (s)he even believes to be doing just that, without actually doing it. Objective, visual feedback can be used to provide the trainee with tangible points to focus on, instead of the often heard comments like …

Examining Pilot Decision Making In Information-Rich Cockpits, Meredith Carroll, Donna Forsyth Wilt, Paige Sanchez, Deborah Carstens

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

Pilots are faced with making decisions based on a range of different information sources. One challenge pilots often face is the presentation of conflicting information between sources. This effort examined pilot decision making with conflicting information by conducting structured interviews with 13 pilots, including seven airline, three corporate, and three GA pilots. Pilots were asked questions regarding their experience with conflicting sources of weather, traffic, and navigation information on the flight deck or cockpit. Further, they were asked to describe how they responded to the information conflict, including which source they trusted, which source they ultimately acted on, and why …

Towards A Meta-Model To Specify And Design Human-Agent Teams, Michael F. Schneider, Michael E. Miller, John M. Mcguirl

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019

This paper describes work towards developing a meta-model useful in the design and specification of Human-Agent Teams. The meta-model adapts components from the cognitive systems, human factors, software and systems engineering literature to form a model and language which can be applied early in the system design process. The resulting model provides a description of desired system behavior. More importantly, the model produces artifacts useful in deriving requirements for both the human and the artificial agents, as well as for the software/hardware human interface. Insight is also provided for manpower, training, and personnel requirements; as well as, requirements for agent …
