If We’D Only Listen! What Research Can Tell Us About Aircrew Fatigue., Christina Ruudin-Brown, Ari Rosberg, Danielle Krukowski
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
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
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 …
Factors Affecting Air Traffic Controller’S Weather Dissemination To Pilots, Ali Alshaqah, Chen Ling, Emma Pierson, Shengyoung Wang
Factors Affecting Air Traffic Controller’S Weather Dissemination To Pilots, Ali Alshaqah, Chen Ling, Emma Pierson, Shengyoung Wang
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
As the number of flights in the United States continues to rise steadily, an equally amplified need for reliability and safety has come to the forefront of aviation research. One of the most alarming trends is the number of general aviation (GA) accidents during severe weather events that occur yearly, with fatalities occurring in more than half of these cases. This study focuses on identifying factors influencing weather dissemination of Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) to GA pilots. Ten factors affecting controllers’ performance during severe weather events were identified through an in-depth literature review including controller mental workload, situation awareness, weather …
Understanding Current Ways Of Reporting Runway Incursion Incidents At Towered Airports, Divya Bhargava, Karen Marais
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 …
A Framework For Assessing The Impact Of Performance-Based Navigation On Air Traffic Controllers, R. Jordan Hinson, Michael W. Sawyer, Gary L. Serfoss
A Framework For Assessing The Impact Of Performance-Based Navigation On Air Traffic Controllers, R. Jordan Hinson, Michael W. Sawyer, Gary L. Serfoss
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
The air traffic control domain is undergoing significant modernization efforts through technology and procedure enhancements. Understanding the impact of these changes and ensuring these enhancements do not unduly increase controller cognitive workload is essential for success. This research provides a framework for assessing human performance impacts and cognitive workload associated with Performance-Based Navigation for use in an operational air traffic control environment. A panel of human factors and air traffic control subject matter experts assessed a broad set of measures of cognitive workload based on sensitivity, bandwidth, diagnosticity, selectivity, interference, controller acceptance, reliability, and implementation requirements. This resulted in a …
What Is Safety Data?, Julia Pounds, Paul Krois
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
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 …

A Case Study Of Taxiway Landing (1982-2016), Linfeng Jin, Chien-Tsung Lu
A Case Study Of Taxiway Landing (1982-2016), Linfeng Jin, Chien-Tsung Lu
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
The paper reviews the 26 “landing on the taxiway” cases happened between 1982 and 2016 recorded by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) aviation accident/incident database, it evaluates causal and contributing factors such as visibility, navigation, preparation, fatigue, experiences, age and more affecting pilots’ operations. Also, personnel injury/fatality and severity of the aircraft damage are extracted from the NTSB’s accident/incident databases to conduct the inductive research. Some interesting findings in the paper includes the experienced pilots landing on the taxiway, and different trends of mistakes between general aviation (GA) and commercial operation. Based on these findings, the authors have given …
Hazardous Attitudes In Us Part 121 Airline Accidents, Bryan Nuñez, Carlos López, Jonathan Velazquez, Oswart A. Mora, Kevin Román
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
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 …

There are a number of tools and procedures identified as applicable to initial Trajectory Based Operations (iTBO). This includes Strategic Planning and Traffic Flow Management such as the use of Ground Delay Programs, Airspace Flow Programs and Collaborative Trajectory Operations Program initiatives (CTOPs). It also includes a focus on route management (including the Pre-Departure ReRoute (PDRR) and AirBorne ReRoute (ABRR) tools and airport surface management (as part of the Tower Flight Data Management program or TFDM). This paper focuses on enhancements to support the effective use of the Pre- Departure ReRoute tool (PDRR). These enhancements emphasize the importance of integration …
From Crewed To Single-Pilot Operations: Pilot Performance And Workload Management, Anja K. Faulhaber
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
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
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
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 …
Individualized Landing Flare Training Using Both Flight Performance And Psychophysiological Measures, Jorg Onno Entzinger
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
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
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 …
Collaboration Interface Supporting Human-Autonomy Teaming For Unmanned Vehicle Management, Elizabeth Frost, Gloria Calhoun, Heath Ruff, Jessica Bartik, Kyle Behymer, Sarah Springs, Adam Buchanan
Collaboration Interface Supporting Human-Autonomy Teaming For Unmanned Vehicle Management, Elizabeth Frost, Gloria Calhoun, Heath Ruff, Jessica Bartik, Kyle Behymer, Sarah Springs, Adam Buchanan
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Advances in technology are leading to envisioned operational concepts that team a single operator with autonomy to manage multiple heterogeneous unmanned vehicles (UxVs). Several autonomy decision aids have been integrated into a prototype control station with innovative human-autonomy interfaces that allow multiple UxV management via high-level commands called “plays”. Each play defines the actions of one or more UxVs, often in response to a mission event or task. This paper describes recent enhancements made to a Task Manager tool to better support operator-autonomy collaboration. After mission events are signaled in chat, corresponding tasks are communicated by an intelligent agent via …
Multiple Identity Tracking And Motion Extrapolation, Ashley Buck, Esa Rantanen
Multiple Identity Tracking And Motion Extrapolation, Ashley Buck, Esa Rantanen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Multiple Identity Tracking (MIT) is a research paradigm in which individuals track the location and individual identity information of several moving objects in the environment. The present study is an examination of how individuals are able to extrapolate the future movement of moving objects while they are masked. There has been conflicting research on the source of a decline in tracking ability; either the amount of time an object is occluded for, or the distance an object moved during an occlusion. Additionally, previous research has not included the use of a secondary visual search task in a mask. Our design …
Using Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (Efvs) For Low-Visibility Taxi In Transport Category Aircraft, Denise B. Beringer, Andrea L. Sparko, Joseph M. Jaworski
Using Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (Efvs) For Low-Visibility Taxi In Transport Category Aircraft, Denise B. Beringer, Andrea L. Sparko, Joseph M. Jaworski
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Two studies (using Boeing 777 and 737 simulators) examined flight crews’ use of an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) for low-visibility taxi operations. Twenty-five flight crews completed 21 short taxi scenarios under combinations of the following: Runway visual range (RVR: 300, 500, and 1000 ft); EFVS on head-up display (on/off); Airport infrastructure - 3 levels. The use of EFVS produced fewer route deviations, most at 300 feet RVR with edge lights and standard centerline or routes with LVO/SMGCS “enhancements” (without centerline lights). Larger turn angles and lower visibilities were associated with slower rates of travel. Crews detected the obstacle on …
Feedback On The Use Of Matb-Ii Task For Modeling Of Cognitive Control Levels Through Psycho-Physiological Biosignals, Yannick Daviaux, Christophe Bey, Laurent Arsac, Olivier Morellec, Sami Lini
Feedback On The Use Of Matb-Ii Task For Modeling Of Cognitive Control Levels Through Psycho-Physiological Biosignals, Yannick Daviaux, Christophe Bey, Laurent Arsac, Olivier Morellec, Sami Lini
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Modeling individuals’ cognitive control levels in operational situations is a major challenge for safety in aeronautical industry. Standardized experimental tasks - as the Multi-Attribute Task Battery II (MATB-II) - are dedicated to such a challenge that can be faced using psycho-physiological biosignals. These biosignals are known to be sensitive to cognitive workload, performance, and expertise that are intricate features of MATB-II subtasks. Thus, it remained necessary to investigate whether these features could be set to ensure controlled experimental conditions. Two groups (15 experts in time-pressured decision making and 13 novices) completed 3 MATB-II sub-tasks (tracking, monitoring, and resource management tasks). …

A System For Assessing Cervical Readiness Using Analytics And Non-Invasive Evaluation (Crane), Zachary A. Kiehl, Deepak Sathyanarayan, Kent C. Halverson, Michael E. Zabala, Sean Gallager, Brian Farrell
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Current cervical spine assessment methodologies focus solely on subjective measures, such as pain reports, and range-of-motion (ROM) testing that only measures maximum head excursion and reach (i.e., not dynamic motion). Due to report bias and the potential for negative outcomes of self-reported pain, current clinical assessment methods fail to provide valid, reliable data for medical practitioners to effectively manage long-term cervical health. Furthermore, commercial systems capable of quantitative assessment of cervical spine function are generally sparse and often immature. This paper highlights both the need and a path towards a clinical tool for objective measurement of cervical spine health and …
An Empirical Test Of An Enhanced Airspeed Indicator, Julia Trippe, Robert Mauro
An Empirical Test Of An Enhanced Airspeed Indicator, Julia Trippe, Robert Mauro
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Analysis of airliner accidents and incidents identified a class of events in which structurally, mechanically, and electronically sound aircraft decelerated through the minimum safe operating speed to the stick-shaker activation speed. For a subset of these events the automation was no longer actively controlling to the airspeed target, a condition which the Primary Flight Display does not explicitly indicate. Increasing the salience of critical automation information may enhance the ability of the flight crew to detect, recognize, and diagnose when an aircraft will inappropriately decelerate, prior to a speed deviation. In the current study, we designed and tested a modification …

Human Factors Electronic Kneeboard Design Guidelines For Military Tactical Aviation, Robert Bridgeman, Kelly J. Neville, Lauren Massey, Curtis Krauskopf, Ali Mizan, John Mooney, Dylan Schmorrow
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
Great strides have been made in reducing the reams of paper-based materials that pilots were once required to bring into the cockpit. Much of that paper-based information is now available to pilots on electronic devices known as electronic kneeboards (EKBs). The main goal of this paper is to describe a design strategy we are using that integrates interdisciplinary perspectives and engages users in the design process. We describe the use of this design strategy to specify and design EKB applications (i.e., apps) that are uniquely supportive of the work demands faced by tactical pilots. As a result of the work …
Identifying A Possible Function For Artificial Agent Adaptation In Variable Task Rate Environments, David J. Canzonetta, Michael E. Miller
Identifying A Possible Function For Artificial Agent Adaptation In Variable Task Rate Environments, David J. Canzonetta, Michael E. Miller
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
The current research sought to identify a method to calculate agent response time (ART) as a function of inter-arrival time (IAT), which balances human-agent team performance, human engagement, and human workload. A human-in-theloop experiment evaluated human-agent team performance, as measured by team score, human engagement, as measured by the number of manually performed tasks, and workload, as measured through a subjective questionnaire, as a function of IAT and ART combination. Results demonstrated that task IAT strongly correlated with performance, engagement, and workload, while ART strongly related to engagement. Optimization was applied to the resulting data to determine ARTs which maximized …
Virtual Reality Flight Environments May Tax Working Memory And Disrupt Prospective Memory, Cassandra Ommerli, Jinous Mirzaagha, Chunyun Ma, Kathleen Van Bentham, Chris Herdman
Virtual Reality Flight Environments May Tax Working Memory And Disrupt Prospective Memory, Cassandra Ommerli, Jinous Mirzaagha, Chunyun Ma, Kathleen Van Bentham, Chris Herdman
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2019
While vivid virtual reality (VR) environments may afford better performance for some flight tasks, it is possible that enhanced stimuli could overload some cognitive resources. Prospective memory (PM) is a cognitive factor sensitive to working memory and visual processing demands, and it may be a performance factor either adversely affected or enhanced by VR factors. Forty-seven pilots flew a VR flight simulation scenario, which included an auditory cue-based PM task. Self-ratings of psychological experiences in VR revealed three factors with relationships to PM: fluency, presence, and interactivity. Path analyses examined the relation of each of these factors with PM, and …
