Fighter Pilot Trainee Retention Of Knowledge And Skills: An Exploratory Study, Dee H. Andrews, Christopher B. Sinclair

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

An exploratory study was conducted to investigate knowledge and skill retention of foreign military fighter pilot trainees with intermediate levels of flying experience. Twenty participants completed a standardized advanced skills fighter-training program that lasted about 10 months for the first class (n=12) and eight months for the second (n=8). Following flight training, the students engaged in non-flying duties (i.e., leave, English training classes). Members of the first class did not resume flying for a minimum of eight months; the second class returned to the simulator or the flight line within three months of completing initial training. Thus, two retention intervals …

Flight Progress Strips In Towers: Frequency Index And Perceived Psychological Benefits, Andrew R. Dattel, Brian R. Johnson, Francis T. Durso, Carla A. Hackworth, Carol A. Manning

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

A team of subject matter experts (SMEs) observed tower air traffic controllers as they marked flight progress strips (FPSs) at ten facilities. SMEs tallied marks and actions controllers made at various positions during 332 twentyminute observation periods. During many of the observation periods, one or more marks or actions were targeted for interviews. The benefits controllers perceived from making the targeted mark or action varied across position. The findings from this study will help engineers preserve the functional benefits received from paper FPS when designing electronic FPSs.

English As Working Language For Non-Native Speakers–The Assessement Of English Language Proficiency Among Ab-Initio Applicants, Hinnerk Hinnerk Eißfeldt

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

In aviation English has been agreed upon being the international working language ever since. However only less than 15% of the worlds population speaks English as mother tongue, and it seems reasonable to assume that among pilots and controllers the percentage of native speakers is below 30%. To secure high global standards the International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO has recently defined new requirements concerning the level of English language proficiency among aviation professionals. From March 2008 on aviation professionals have to be assessed concerning their proficiency in speaking and listening preferably in aviation-specific context. ICAO proposes to start formal evaluation …

The Effects Of A Scenario Based Gps Training Program On Pilot Proficiency In The General Aviation Pilot, Wayne A. Dornan, John Bertrand, Paul Craig Jan 2005

The Effects Of A Scenario Based Gps Training Program On Pilot Proficiency In The General Aviation Pilot, Wayne A. Dornan, John Bertrand, Paul Craig

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Currently, General Aviation (GA) pilots working toward their instrument rating (IFR) in aircraft equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology receive little, if any, formal flight instruction on GPS technology. Therefore, the hypothesis examined in this study was that instrument rated pilots already certificated to fly IFR / GPS have insufficient knowledge of the GPS technology to use it effectively. Our goal was to develop a single pilot crew, scenario-based training program to increase the knowledge and safety of pilots using this technology by focusing on GPS mode awareness, situational assessment, risk and time management, and situational awareness.. The study …

Pilot Support For Distance-Based In-Trail Following Tasks, J.M.C. (Sjoerd) De Groot, M.M. (René) Van Paassen, Max Mulder Jan 2005

Pilot Support For Distance-Based In-Trail Following Tasks, J.M.C. (Sjoerd) De Groot, M.M. (René) Van Paassen, Max Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Transferring the spacing task from the air traffic controller to the pilot can benefit efficiency and capacity. To separate a chain of aircraft, time-based rather than distance-based principles are preferred as they result in better performance in case of gradual reducing speeds in arrival streams. The present-day air traffic management systems, however, operate mainly on a spatial rather than a temporal basis, and air traffic controllers monitor the distance between trailing aircraft to determine if separation requirements are satisfied. If the disadvantages of distance-based spacing can be dealt with, the implications of introducing distance-based procedures for the current controller and …

Safety Strategies Which Also Improve Operational Performance, Dr. Gary Eiff, Michael Suckow Jan 2005

Safety Strategies Which Also Improve Operational Performance, Dr. Gary Eiff, Michael Suckow

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Research has demonstrated that workers in aviation maintenance operations often perceive that safety and operational goals are in conflict. Investigators at Purdue University have worked with numerous aviation companies over the past eleven years to improve safety and control maintenance human errors. During that time, it has become apparent that safety goals, strategies and programs are differentially supported depending on the operational and economic pressures experienced by an organization. Purdue researchers have often traced operational and performance stressors back to poorly structured processes and other factors that result in artificially induced perceptions for the need to sacrifice safety for performance. …

Changes In Safety Attitudes In A Canadian Regional Airline Following A Merger, Dr. Mark Fleming, Bernadette Gatien, Captain Rob Vacher Jan 2005

Changes In Safety Attitudes In A Canadian Regional Airline Following A Merger, Dr. Mark Fleming, Bernadette Gatien, Captain Rob Vacher

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

The present study examines the impact a merger had on pilot safety attitudes. Pre and post merger safety attitudes among a sample of Canadian pilots were examined using the Flight Management Attitudes Questionnaire 2.1 (FMAQ) (Merritt, Helmreich, Wilhelm, & Sherman, 1996) and the Flight Management Attitudes and Safety Survey (FMASS) (Sexton, Wilhelm, Helmreich, Merritt, & Klinect, 2001). Data were collected from 232 airline pilots prior to a large-scale merger using the FMAQ 2.1. Approximately 1 year following the merger, FMASS data were collected from the newly merged organization. We hypothesized that pilots’ safety attitudes were negatively impacted due to uncertainty …

Synergy Of Virtual Visual And Auditory Displays For Uav Ground Control Stations, Susan R. Dowell, R. Jar Shively

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators must remotely manipulate payload sensors, while maintaining situational awareness from a displaced ground control station (GCS). Potential use of helmet-mounted displays (HMD) in piloting UAVs and controlling payload sensors has been previously investigated (de Vries & Padmos, 1997; Draper, Ruff, & LaFleur, 2001; Morphew, Shively, & Casey, 2004). Stated benefits of HMD use for targeting tasks included immersion in the search environment and possible reduction of tactical footprint. In the current study, it was hypothesized that the pairing of 3-D audio alerts with the HMD would result in more robust performance differences between HMD and …

Decision Making During An Airline Rescheduling Task: A Contextual Control Model Description, Karen M. Feigh, Amy R. Pritchett, Julie A. Jacko, Tina Denq

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

This paper examines decision makers’ selection of contextual control modes as described by Hollnagel’s Contextual Control Model, and evaluates real-time, unobtrusive measures of a decision maker’s immediate mode. In a two-part experiment, participants performed airline rescheduling tasks. The first portion varied task time limits, the second introduced a sudden change in the task. Participants reported operating in, and transitioning between, different contextual control modes in response to time limits and task changes. Computer interaction did not correlate to contextual control modes. Contextual control modes did not correlate with TLX ratings of demand and effort, but did correlate with TLX-frustration and …

Effects Of Workload And Visibility On Mission Rehearsal, Tessa Gorton, Gavan Lintern Jan 2005

Effects Of Workload And Visibility On Mission Rehearsal, Tessa Gorton, Gavan Lintern

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Mission rehearsal poses new opportunities and new challenges for flight simulation. The general issue, how to promote transfer to the criterion task, is the same for mission rehearsal as it is for training. On the other hand, the goal of mission rehearsal is to promote sensitivity to or awareness of contextual details that are crucial to success of a specific mission while the goal of training is to develop generic skills. It is not clear, at this stage, what implications these different goals have for the design of simulators. For the navigation mission examined here we hypothesized that high workload …

Development And Validation Of A Survey To Assess Safety Culture In Airline Maintenance Operations, Alyssa Mitchell Gibbons, Terry L. Von Thaden, Douglas A. Wiegmann Jan 2005

Development And Validation Of A Survey To Assess Safety Culture In Airline Maintenance Operations, Alyssa Mitchell Gibbons, Terry L. Von Thaden, Douglas A. Wiegmann

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

This paper describes the development and validation of a survey to assess safety culture in airline maintenance operations according to the five-factor model of safety culture proposed by Wiegmann et al. (2002). Maintenance technicians at two FAR Part 121 scheduled passenger airlines (N = 109 and 76) completed the original version of the survey. The results yielded useful diagnostic information about the safety culture of each airline, but factor analyses indicated that the five-factor model may not be adequate to describe the data. A more complex model is proposed and modifications to the survey are suggested.

Experimental Analysis Of The Integration Of Mixed Surveillance Frequency Into Oceanic Atc Operations, Laura Major Forest, R. John Hansman Jan 2005

Experimental Analysis Of The Integration Of Mixed Surveillance Frequency Into Oceanic Atc Operations, Laura Major Forest, R. John Hansman

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Technical capabilities for improved surveillance over the oceans are currently available through the use of satellites. However, all aircraft operators will not equip simultaneously because of the high costs required. Consequently, as these CNS systems are integrated into oceanic air transportation architecture, the controller will have to manage the current low frequency surveillance in parallel with enhanced surveillance. The cognitive effects of the mixed equipage environment were studied through experimental analysis. The results confirm that there are human performance issues with integrating mixed surveillance capabilities, which may result in safety and efficiency limitations.

Evaluation Of Workload In High Complexity Work Place: An Experiment During A Real Situation, Carlos Gomes De Oliveira D Sc, Selma Leal De Oliveira Ribeiro D Sc

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Some workplace have been widely changed with regard to their automation process, which has promoted a more complex environment concerning the task performance, demanding to the operator the introducing of new abilities. In the aeronautic activity the workload also has been diversified, as the mental demand has been enhanced. The needs of determining the impact of the workload on the operator due to such work place, evidencing a more complex nature, shows to be more important, mainly when looking at the certification requirements for new aircraft development. Such certification process is responsible for determining the minimum aircrew necessary, based on …

The Role Of Working Memory In Maintaining Situation Awareness, Dr. Kamilla Run Johannsdottir, Dr. Chris M. Herdman, Dr. Jo-Anne Lefevre Jan 2005

The Role Of Working Memory In Maintaining Situation Awareness, Dr. Kamilla Run Johannsdottir, Dr. Chris M. Herdman, Dr. Jo-Anne Lefevre

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Basic and applied research suggests that working memory (WM) supports situation awareness (SA) in dynamic environments. However, the relationship between WM and SA has not been well articulated. The present paper explores the potential role of WM in SA-based tasks by a) using a well-established WM model to conceptually link the two concepts and b) empirically testing this link. A dual-task paradigm was used where participants tracked an object against a moving background. Periodically, participants were required to either predict where the tracked object would be or to search for it. In addition to the tracking task participants concurrently performed …

The Development Of An Intelligent Helicopter Performance Instrument System Incorporating Human Factors And Skilled Based Expertise, Michael Hardy, Steven Thatcher Jan 2005

The Development Of An Intelligent Helicopter Performance Instrument System Incorporating Human Factors And Skilled Based Expertise, Michael Hardy, Steven Thatcher

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

Studies by Iseler and De Maio (2001) suggest that the helicopter accident rate in the USA is 10 times that of airline accidents, with 20% attributed to pilot error. US Army/NASA studies (Hart 1998) have developed a number of strategies with the goal of reducing the helicopter accident rate including real-time prediction, measurement and pilot cueing. Hardy and Thatcher (2004) described early development work in designing an intelligent helicopter performance instrument system that conducts performance predictions in real time that is being pursued with the aim of providing pilot cueing indicating sufficient performance is or is not available for takeoff, …

Cockpit Technology And Weather Related Decision Making: An Integrative Review, N. R. Johnson, D. A. Wiegmann, J. Goh, C. D. Wickens

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

This paper provides a synthesis of the empirical studies to date that have investigated weather-related pilot decision making. Of particular interest is how new cockpit technologies such as synthetic vision systems and graphical weather information systems interact with flight experience, risk perception, risk-taking tendencies and selfconfidence in affecting pilots’ decision to continue flight into adverse weather. A conceptual framework for integrating and interpreting the results of these various studies is also be proposed.

Evidence Against Crew Resource Management As A Cognitive Skill, Stacey M. L. Hendrickson, David L. Trumpower, Timothy E. Goldsmith, Peder J. Johnson Jan 2005

Evidence Against Crew Resource Management As A Cognitive Skill, Stacey M. L. Hendrickson, David L. Trumpower, Timothy E. Goldsmith, Peder J. Johnson

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2005

In recent years, airlines have begun to train and assess crew resource management (CRM) tasks similarly to technical tasks. However, in order for individual CRM categories (e.g., workload management, communication, situation awareness, etc.) to be viewed as skills, performance on a particular CRM category should transfer to different situations. In this study, we examined how well CRM behaviors generalized across different flight contexts. We analyzed pilot performance from five line oriented evaluations (LOEs). The LOEs were divided into phases of flight and many different behaviors were graded within each LOE, some of which were previously classified as belonging to a …
