Collocation And Pattern Recognition Effects On System Failure Remediation, Anna Trujillo, Hayes Press
Collocation And Pattern Recognition Effects On System Failure Remediation, Anna Trujillo, Hayes Press
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Previous research found that operators prefer to have status, alerts, and controls located on the same screen. Unfortunately, that research was done with displays that were not designed specifically for collocation. In this experiment, twelve subjects evaluated two displays specifically designed for collocating system information against a baseline that consisted of dial status displays, a separate alert area, and a controls panel. These displays differed in the amount of collocation, pattern matching, and parameter movement compared to display size. During the data runs, subjects kept a randomly moving target centered on a display using a left-handed joystick and they scanned …

Visualization Of Maneuver Constraints For Airborne Self-Separation: Use Of Intent Information, S.B.J. Van Dam, M. Mulder, M.M. Van Paassen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
In the context of future airspace organization, an EID-inspired pilot support tool to support for airborne selfseparation in cruise flight was developed and evaluated through pilot experiments. This paper describes follow-up research concerning the shift from the original no-intent design to a novel intent-based design. It analyses how the information exchange of the autopilot speed and heading settings, and the next trajectory change, can be introduced in the current design in the horizontal plane.

The Chicken, The Egg, The Workspace Analysis, And The Ecological Interface., M.M. (Rene) Van Paassen, Matthijs H.J. Amelink, Clark Borst, Stijn B.J. Van Dam, Max Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
The first applications of the design of operator interfaces with CognitiveWorkspace Analysis and Ecological Interface Design were in the field of power plants and process control. These applications are similar to the DURESS microworld, for which the first EID design was made. The workspace analysis for these domains can then be similar to the analysis elaborated for DURESS. At the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, in several projects now EID has been applied to a different work domain, namely vehicle control. These projects have focused on, among others, conflict avoidance in aircraft and ships, terrain …
1,001 Runway Incursions, Ed Wischmeyer Ph.D.
1,001 Runway Incursions, Ed Wischmeyer Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Three years of recent ASRS reports were reviewed to seek factors contributing to runway incursions and taxi errors. Many factors not commonly discussed in ground safety were found in these 1,049 reports. These factors were then analyzed from a systems perspective, suggesting that all elements of the system, in the broadest sense, need improvement, but as a unified system. It seems unlikely that any meaningful improvements will be achieved without such a systems approach.

On Line And Off-Line Tools For Preventing And Analyzing Vestibular Spatial Disorientation Mishaps: A Summary Of The Alion-Ma&D / Air Force Research Program, Christopher D. Wickens, Ronald L. Small, Alia M. Fisher, John W. Keller, Connie M. Socash
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
We describe a program of research and development to combat problems of in-flight spatial disorientation. One component is a computational model predicting the onset of the leans, the graveyard spiral, the Coriolis, and the somatogyral illusion, based on a vestibular model and inputs from the aircraft and control states. This model is validated in a flight simulation experiment. A second component we describe is the application of the model off line, embodied in a visualization and analysis tool for SD mishap investigation. A third component uses the model on-line, in flight to trigger visual, auditory, and tactile countermeasures to restore …

The Next Generation Professional Pilot – Not Your Father’S First Officer, Captain Brian T. Wilson
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
With the demise of the Cold War, the subsequent drawdown of the military, and with many airline pilots opting not to return from furlough after the recent rash of bankruptcies, the demand side of air carrier pilot hiring has driven significant changes in new hire pilot demographics. Experience levels of new hire regional pilots are at an all time low, and are approaching an average well below 1000 hrs of total time and less than 100 hours multi-engine. These demographics changes bode ill for aviation safety and these changes in new hire pilot demographics are showing up in increasing incidents …
Using Ecological Interface Design For Energy Management During Idle-Thrust Approaches, M.M. (Rene) Van Paassen, Joris Gernaey, Alexander C. In ’T Veld, Max Mulder
Using Ecological Interface Design For Energy Management During Idle-Thrust Approaches, M.M. (Rene) Van Paassen, Joris Gernaey, Alexander C. In ’T Veld, Max Mulder
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Alternative approach procedures are being developed, in order to create aircraft operations that have less impact on the environment. In these low-power, low-noise approaches, level flight segments are avoided, and low or flight idle thrust settings are used until the aircraft reaches a stabilization point at low altitude, close to the runway. Electronic automation tools and handbook charts are currently tested and used in these procedures. This paper takes a different approach, and applies the principles of Ecological Interface Design to create interfaces that enable the pilot to fly these procedures in a flexible manner. Interfaces for two of these …

Wake Vortex Display Design And Model Evaluation, Christopher D. Wickens, Angelia Sebok, Tim Bagnall, Jill Kamienski
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
In a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project for NASA Langley, we developed and evaluated three formats of conceptual prototype cockpit wake vortex displays, a 2D plan view display, a 2D co-planar display, and a 3D synthetic vision system display. In each, the wake was presented along with conventional information on the 2D nav display, the vertical situation display, and the forward-looking SVS display. In the first stage of evaluation, three pilots carried out a two rounds of usability analyses on the displays in dynamic flight scenarios. The co-planar display was revealed to have the fewest problems. In …
Effect Of Display Format On Attitude-Maintenance Performance, Motonori Yamaguchi, Robert W. Proctor
Effect Of Display Format On Attitude-Maintenance Performance, Motonori Yamaguchi, Robert W. Proctor
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
The present research examined the effect of display format, inside-out or outside-in, on performance of an attitudemaintenance task and secondary choice-reaction tasks among non-pilot participants. Some advantages for use of outside-in format for the attitude display were obtained in the secondary task performance, though there were no clear differences from the inside-out format display in the primary attitude-maintenance performance. Transfer from one display format to the other led to difficulty in performing the task, suggesting caution when switching from the conventional display format to a new format.
Relative Importance Of Conflict Geometry Variables In Influencing Pilots’ Conflict Detection Using A Cockpit Display Of Traffic Information, Xidong Xu, Esa M. Rantanen, Yan Huo
Relative Importance Of Conflict Geometry Variables In Influencing Pilots’ Conflict Detection Using A Cockpit Display Of Traffic Information, Xidong Xu, Esa M. Rantanen, Yan Huo
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
When independent variables are inter-correlated with each other, ANOVAs or traditional multiple regression methods do a poor job for analyzing their relative importance in accounting for the variance in a dependent variable. This paper describes a method called Dominance Analysis (Budescu, 1993; Azen & Budescu, 2003) as a better approach than the traditional methods in determining the relative importance of several inter-correlated independent variables in accounting for the variances in pilots’ performance measures in a conflict detection task with a cockpit display of traffic information (Xu, Rantanen, & Wickens, 2004). The three variables in question were an intruder aircraft’s distance …
Lane Position Head-Up Displays In Automobiles: Further Evidence For Cognitive Tunneling, Yun Zheng, Matthew Brown Ph.D., Chris M. Herdman Ph.D., Dan Bleichman
Lane Position Head-Up Displays In Automobiles: Further Evidence For Cognitive Tunneling, Yun Zheng, Matthew Brown Ph.D., Chris M. Herdman Ph.D., Dan Bleichman
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
The benefits associated with the implementation of Head-Up Displays (HUDs) in aircraft have promoted the use of this technology in automobiles. These benefits, however, have been shown to come with concomitant performance costs. Specifically, aviation and motor vehicle research has shown that HUDs produce cognitive tunneling effects whereby an operator’s attention is captured and held by the HUD symbology such that it cannot be directed elsewhere. The cost of cognitive tunneling could be more severe for driving than for flying given that driving environments are typically more densely populated than they are for flying. For this reason, research on the …

Enhancing The Collection And Analysis Of General Aviation Insurance Data In Australasia Through The Use Of Hfacs, Michael G. Lenné, Karen Ashby, Michael A. Regan
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
This paper provides an overview of a 5-stage program of work conducted over a three-year period that aims to develop a General Aviation (GA) safety database in Australia using data collected by aviation insurers. The need to standardize and enhance insurance data was recognized to support meaningful safety-based countermeasure development. Incorporating the Human Factors Analysis and Classification Scheme into the insurance assessment process is a major feature of the data enhancement process. Data collection by GA insurance assessors in Australia, using standardized and enhanced data collection methods, will begin in late 2007. Establishment of this database will allow for meaningful …
The Causes Of Failure Of Olympic Airways’ S Restructuring Efforts Applied By The Greek State, John S. Lainos Ph.D.
The Causes Of Failure Of Olympic Airways’ S Restructuring Efforts Applied By The Greek State, John S. Lainos Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Olympic Airways (O.A.), the former Greek flag carrier, was nationalized in 1975. For the period 1975-1994 its cumulative deficits had mounted to 455 billion GRD, (1.63 billion US$). However, at the same time all governments enforced on O.A. the implementation of their various policies, always at the company’s expense. The state debts to O.A.- due to the aforementioned reason were in 1993 (E.U. involvement) almost three times higher than O.A.’s operational deficits. These state debts have not been permitted to O.A. to register in their accounting books. Since 1993 the Greek state, O.A.’s exclusive shareholder, has attempted to introduce changes …

The Alaska Airlines Flight 261 Accident: A Systemic Analysis Of Functional Resonance, Rogier Woltjer, Erik Hollnagel
The Alaska Airlines Flight 261 Accident: A Systemic Analysis Of Functional Resonance, Rogier Woltjer, Erik Hollnagel
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines flight 261, an MD-83, crashed into the Pacific Ocean; after airplane pitch control was lost as a result of the in-flight failure of the horizontal stabilizer trim system jackscrew assembly's acme nut threads (NTSB, 2003). Accident investigation revealed a wide range of human, technical, and organizational factors contributing to this tragic event, providing a case where popular linear models and methods have difficulty addressing the full complexity of the processes leading up to the accident. This paper treats each of the steps of analysis according to the Functional Resonance Accident Model (FRAM; Hollnagel, 2004), …

Supporting Pilots In Close Encounters With Terrain, A.N.P. Lenaerts, C. Borst, M. Mulder, M.M. Van Paassen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Despite the fact that modern cockpits present an abundance of information to pilots, Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents continue to occur. The introduction of terrain awareness and warning systems, like the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), has led to a considerable reduction of terrain incursions. EGPWS predicts the aircraft motion relative to terrain and, based on a rule-base of advanced reasoning logic, informs pilots on how to react appropriately. Common to all terrain warning systems, is that all cognition is ‘hidden’ in the EGPWS logic, and pilots are required to respond rapidly to the system’s commands. We hypothesize …
Effects Of Message Complexity And Message Length On The Production Of Pilot Readback Errors, O. Veronika Prinzo Ph.D.
Effects Of Message Complexity And Message Length On The Production Of Pilot Readback Errors, O. Veronika Prinzo Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Field data and laboratory studies conducted in the 1990s reported that the rate of pilot readback errors and communication problems increased as controller transmissions became more complex. This resulted in the recommendation that controllers send shorter messages to reduce the memory load imposed on pilots by complex messages. More than 10 years have passed since a comprehensive analysis quantified the types and frequency of readback errors and communication problems that occur in the operational environment. Hence, a content analysis was performed on 52 hours of pilot and controller messages that were transmitted from 5 of the busiest terminal radar approach …
Effects Of Cdti Alerting System Properties On Pilot Multi-Task Performance, Christopher Wickens, Angela Colcombe
Effects Of Cdti Alerting System Properties On Pilot Multi-Task Performance, Christopher Wickens, Angela Colcombe
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
In a dual task context, pilots monitored a simulated cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) supported by an imperfect auditory or visual alerting system. Across four experiments: (1) varying the alerting threshold, to reduce the false alarm rate (but increase the miss rate) degraded both the concurrent flight control task, and conflict detection accuracy, with only a slight improvement in detection speed. (2) Changing the dual task context from flight control, to ATC communications greatly degraded performance on both the concurrent task and the conflict detection task, revealing the high cognitive demands of traffic monitoring. (3) Changing ATC communications to …

The Multimodal Production Of Common Ground Understandings In Intercultural Flight Training, Saeko Nomura, Edwin Hutchins
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
In this paper we show how Japanese airline pilots and American flight instructors overcome pronounced differences in language and culture and achieve effective collaboration. They do this by drawing on a deep body of shared professional pilot culture and by exploiting richly multimodality situated communication practices to produce common ground understandings.

Investigating Sources Of Mental Workload Using A High-Fidelity Atc Simulator, Penelope M. Sanderson, Martijn Mooij, Andrew Neal
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
In this study we present results from a high-fidelity simulator study of Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) workload, in which routine and non-routine scenario events are examined. Specifically, we test the ability of a task load metric (Airservices Australia’s Workload Assessment Tool: WAT) to predict controller workload in these situations. In the study, sector was a between-subjects variable and task load a within-subjects variable. Twenty-one professional ATCos worked three 30-minute segments in Airservices Australia’s TAAATS simulator, and rated their workload on a scale from 1 to 10 every two minutes. After each scenario, ATCos reviewed the video and explained their ratings. …

Emotional Intelligence: Does It Fit Into Recruitment Process In The Airlines Industry?, Nutankumar S. Thingujam
Emotional Intelligence: Does It Fit Into Recruitment Process In The Airlines Industry?, Nutankumar S. Thingujam
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Existing literature show that there are various psychological factors that are important in the effective functioning of industrial/organizational set-up. Among the most important ones are the personality traits and cognitive abilities. But it is not possible to include all the important psychological variables in recruitment since that will be extremely time consuming and tiring on the part of the respondents. So, the challenge is to decide which personality traits and cognitive abilities are the best predictors of job performance. In this article I recommend a battery of psychological measures that include ability measure of ability model of emotional intelligence for …

Supplemental Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of The Personal Computer-Based Aircraft Training Device With That Of An Faa-Approved Flight Training Device, Dr. Jon Mcdermott
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
The introduction of the personal computer-based aircraft training device, or PCATD, in the late 1990s stimulated the academic investigation of this technology for use in collegiate aviation education activities. Initially, FAA regulators dismissed this technology as gaming software and hardware, but the successful collegiate use of PCATD technology for training pilots convinced the FAA in 1997 (AC 61-126) to approve the use of PCATDs as an equivalency to actual flight time, but for only a portion of that equivalency allowed Flight Training Devices (FTDs). This study, a supplemental analysis of the effectiveness of a PCATD, found that there was no …

The Performance Costs Of Digital Head-Up Displays, Lisa Hagen, Chris M. Herdman Ph.D., Matthew S. Brown Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Motor vehicle manufacturers are installing Head-Up Displays (HUDs) in motor vehicles to provide drivers with a variety of vehicle information such as vehicle speed. In theory, HUDs should assist drivers in monitoring the status of their vehicle while allowing them to spend more time looking at the external scene. However, research in the aviation literature has shown that pilots tend to cognitively tunnel on HUDs to the extent that processing of the external scene is delayed. In the present research, a driving simulator was used to examine whether cognitive tunnelling occurs with analogue and digital HUDs. Participants were better at …

Filling In The Gaps: An Investigation Of The Knowledge Needed For Effective Human-Automation Interaction, Michael T. Curtis, Michelle Harper-Sciarini, Florian G. Jentsch, David Schuster, Ron Swanson
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Despite the decade-long focus on pilot understanding of automated systems, knowledge gaps continue to suggest that current training programs are incomplete. There are several different types of knowledge that contribute to an effective understanding of automated systems, including more complex knowledge structures. This suggests that simply training pilots how to operate automated systems will not provide optimal performance. This paper describes an empirical investigation of the importance and measurement of different types of knowledge important for effective automation use. Twenty trained commercial pilots completed several knowledge assessments of automation and airmanship and responded to situational vignettes that assessed their proficiency …
Spatial Awareness Biases In Synthetic Vision Systems Displays, Matthew L. Bolton, Ellen J. Bass
Spatial Awareness Biases In Synthetic Vision Systems Displays, Matthew L. Bolton, Ellen J. Bass
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) create a synthetic clear-day view of the terrain in front of ownship to prevent controlled flight into terrain. To investigate how spatial biases manifest themselves in SVS displays, an experiment was conducted. Eighteen pilots made spatial judgments (relative angle, distance, height, and abeam time) regarding the location of terrain points displayed in 112 5-second videos of a SVS head down display. Judgment errors revealed expected and unexpected spatial biases. Knowledge of these biases will allow SVS engineers to compensate for them and to improve spatial awareness in future SVS designs.

Measuring Safety Culture In A Non-Us Airline Using The Commercial Aviation Safety Survey, Terry L. Von Thaden, Sólveig Ragnarsdóttir
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2007
The purpose of this present study was twofold: firstly to test the psychometric appropriateness of the Commercial Aviation Safety Survey (CASS) for flight operations developed at the University of Illinois, in non-US environment, and secondly to assess the current state of organizational safety culture at a European airline. To achieve these objectives the CASS was administered in a web-based format to the flight operations department at a major European air carrier. The respondents reflected a representative employee distribution and a response rate of 31 percent. The internal consistency of the CASS indicated adequate reliability (all scores above 0.70). The survey …
