Effects Of A Final Approach Runway Occupancy Signal (Faros) On Pilots’ Flight Path Tracking, Traffic Detection, And Air Traffic Control Communications, John Helleberg Jan 2005

Effects Of A Final Approach Runway Occupancy Signal (Faros) On Pilots’ Flight Path Tracking, Traffic Detection, And Air Traffic Control Communications, John Helleberg

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Eighteen pilot participants with varying experience levels flew 36 approaches in a medium fidelity cockpit simulator. Eighteen baseline trials were flown with a standard Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) and 18 trials were flown with the proposed Flashing PAPI (FPAPI). The results showed a significant increase in lateral tracking error with the FPAPI as compared to the PAPI trials, but no increase in vertical tracking errors. There was also a trend toward an increase in the number of radio communications with the FPAPI. Pilots were able to determine runway occupancy status and land or go-around as required in both the …

Towards Wide-Field Display Of The Gripen Hud Interface To Combat Spatial Disorientation, Lars Eriksson, Katarina Undén, Claes Von Hofsten Jan 2005

Towards Wide-Field Display Of The Gripen Hud Interface To Combat Spatial Disorientation, Lars Eriksson, Katarina Undén, Claes Von Hofsten

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The head-up display (HUD) interface of the Gripen fighter aircraft utilizes a sphere concept for supporting attitude awareness or spatial orientation (SO). With the sphere interface fixed to the gravitational vertical and the attitude variant aircraft positioned in the center of the sphere, the HUD field-of-regard scans parts of the sphere inside. The HUD interface depicts segments of latitude circles with meridian markings that convey integrated information of pitch, roll, and yaw. To enhance pilot-in-the-loop maneuvering and SO we suggest a wide field-of-view interface design of the Gripen concept, emphasizing the inclusion of peripheral vision. The suggested interface is subsequently …

A Conceptual Framework For Studying Safety Climate And Culture Of Commercial Airlines, Dr. Sharon Glazer, Amber R. Laurel, Rangapriya Kanan Narasimhan Jan 2005

A Conceptual Framework For Studying Safety Climate And Culture Of Commercial Airlines, Dr. Sharon Glazer, Amber R. Laurel, Rangapriya Kanan Narasimhan

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

A comprehensive safety climate and safety culture framework, which can be utilized to assess various predictors and consequences of safety climate and to assess airline’s safety culture in relation to one another, is presented. The framework depicts a process whereby individual, group, and organizational predictor variables, through perceived safety climate, affect first level outcomes. First level outcomes can lead to direct costs for the organization, as well as lowered productivity. In the framework, individual and environment variables are purported to moderate the relationship between work-related events and safety climate. Motivation is also expected to mediate the relationships between predictors and …

Distributed Air / Ground Traffic Management En Route Free Maneuvering Rules Of The Road: Requirements And Implementation For A Simulation Of En-Route Self-Separation, Nancy H. Johnson, Riva Canton, Vernol Battiste, Walter Johnson

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Distributed Air Ground Traffic Management (DAG-TM) program has recently investigated a concept called “En-route Free Maneuvering” as a proposed solution for expanding airspace capacity limits. A critical element for this concept is conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) using the 3D cockpit situation display (CSD). The only fielded system performing some of this function is the Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), a radar-based alerting system used by most commercial aircraft for collision detection and avoidance. TCAS is inappropriate for an en-route self-separation application due to its reactive nature, and inherent lack of flexibility. …

Redefining Crm, J. Norman Komich Jan 2005

Redefining Crm, J. Norman Komich

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The recent revision (120-51E, dated 1/22/04) to the Crew Resource Management Training Advisory Circular failed to provide a specific definition of CRM. This void is an issue with those who agree with Montaigne when he observed “No wind favors the sailing ship without a destined port.” Since its inception over twenty five years ago, CRM has undergone considerable evolution and the industry now finds itself in the seventh or eighth “Generation” of CRM training. Interestingly, in the very first Advisory Circular (120-51A) the following statement was made: “The essence of CRM training is to reduce error in the cockpit.” In …

Maintaining Aircraft Orientation Awareness With Audio Displays, Kristen K. Liggett Ph.D., Peter Venero, Martin N. Anesgart Ph.D.

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

This study was conducted to determine an appropriate task with which to test alternative orientation display formats, and to test a preliminary set of audio orientation symbology sets. Participants were required to perform three tasks simultaneously. The first task was a visual search (target designation) task. The second task was a radar monitoring task. Both of these tasks were performed on a head-down display. The third task consisted of monitoring aircraft orientation on a head-up display. The third task employed the study’s one independent variable – orientation symbology sets. When performing the aircraft orientation task, orientation was displayed in three …

The Relationship Between Controller Opinions And Use Of An Atc Decision Support Tool, Carol A. Manning, Melanie Dennis Jan 2005

The Relationship Between Controller Opinions And Use Of An Atc Decision Support Tool, Carol A. Manning, Melanie Dennis

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between controllers’ opinions about the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET), an air traffic control decision support tool, and their use of various URET functions, including its flight data management capabilities, conflict prediction information, and problem-solving tools (e.g., trial planning). We expected that, compared with those who were less positive about URET, controllers who rated the tool more positively would use it more often in performing sector team duties. In 2002, formal observations were made of 181 en route controllers using URET at six facilities. URET display settings, usage, and use …

Team Coordination In Uav Operations, Harry K. Pedersen, Nancy J. Cooke Jan 2005

Team Coordination In Uav Operations, Harry K. Pedersen, Nancy J. Cooke

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The term “unmanned” in the context of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations is too often taken literally, overlooking the humans controlling, monitoring, collaborating, and coordinating from the ground. Promoting and improving the performance of the human component in the operation of UAVs is paramount and enhancing the coordination of the humans in the system is one of many important human factors issues which must be overcome. Research from the Cognitive Engineering on Team Tasks Laboratory has approached this problem with the development of a synthetic test-bed replicating UAV coordination in the lab. Findings from this synthetic task environment (STE) will …

Near-To-Eye Display And Augmented Reality Concepts For Air Traffic Tower Controllers: Issues And Challenges, Dr. John W. Ruffner, Dr. Jim E. Fulbrook, Marc Foglia

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Tower controllers are responsible for maintaining safe separation between airborne aircraft in the airport traffic control area, and separation between aircraft, equipment, and personnel on the airport surface. In this paper, we summarize recent work to develop and evaluate user-acceptable hardware and software solutions that will reduce diversions and augment or enhance controller capabilities, especially in limited visibility conditions. We characterized controller tasks where a near-to-eye display and augmented reality techniques can aid controller performance, and identified form factor variables that influence user acceptability of hardware configurations. We developed an out-the-window concept of operation and analyzed the hardware requirements and …

Implementing Electronic Flight Data In Airport Traffic Control Towers, Todd R. Truitt Ph.D. Jan 2005

Implementing Electronic Flight Data In Airport Traffic Control Towers, Todd R. Truitt Ph.D.

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the potential effects of implementing electronic flight data systems (EFDSs) at Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs). I use existing task analyses, published literature, and recent field observation data to determine the basic functionality of flight progress strips (FPSs) in the ATCT. I identify gaps in the research and formed a general set of principles to guide the design of an EFDS prototype. Given the proper application of principles for design and automation, the EFDS should maintain some of the basic functionality and benefits of the FPSs, reduce workload related to flight data entry, …

Capturing The Research And Development Process Of Aviation Systems: Creating A Multi-Media Living Legacy, Anthony D. Andre, Becky L. Hooey, David C. Foyle Jan 2005

Capturing The Research And Development Process Of Aviation Systems: Creating A Multi-Media Living Legacy, Anthony D. Andre, Becky L. Hooey, David C. Foyle

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Too often, successful system development projects fail to leave a legacy of design transfer information, beyond providing access to the mere physical descriptions of the system, or the software code itself. Yet, information about high-level design decisions, assumptions, constraints, philosophies and methodologies is often sought after by system designers, engineers, and researchers alike. Such information is critical for facilitating an understanding of the design and evaluation decisions that underlie the final design. In contrast, published articles about a given complex system are usually limited to discussions of experimental results and in applicability beyond the academic and research community. This paper …

A Comparison Of Saint With Imprint And Micro Saint Sharp, Gerald P. Chubb Jan 2005

A Comparison Of Saint With Imprint And Micro Saint Sharp, Gerald P. Chubb

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

SAINT was a hybrid modeling and simulation language developed in FORTRAN for main frame computers that allowed simulation of human activities in the context of system operation. MicroSaint was initially developed in the C language, specifically for Personal Computers (PCs), mimicking much but not all of what was in the original FORTRAN version. IMPRINT Version 7 uses Micro Saint IV as its underlying computational engine. MicroSaint Sharp is based on the C# programming language and will be the computational engine underlying IMPRINT Version 8. Representational capabilities of these various modeling techniques are compared to illustrate what improvements have been made …

Safety Attitudes In The Aviation System: Influences Of A Highly Regulated Environment, Teresa C. D'Oliveira Jan 2005

Safety Attitudes In The Aviation System: Influences Of A Highly Regulated Environment, Teresa C. D'Oliveira

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Although safety is considered paramount in the aviation industry, very few studies have explored the influence that such a highly regulated environment may have on safety attitudes. This paper explores how perceptions and attitudes may be influenced by context characteristics and analyses how a highly regulated context, such as the aviation industry, compares with other industries. Results suggest that the aviation industry seems to be centered on individual behaviors and attitudes towards safety; in contrast other industries highlight safety at the organizational level. Implications of these results and repercussions of national safety campaigns to promote safety at the workplace are …
