Self-Deception And Impression Management In Commercial Pilots: An Underreported And Potential Confound In Aviation Research, Tabitha T. Black, Ryan Sain, Steven M. Vera
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
A concern when administering questionnaires is whether the participant is providing information that is accurate. The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding(BIDR) was used to assess commercial pilots’ socially desirable responding resulting in two profiles: Impression management (IM; faking bad) and self-deceptive enhancement (SDE; faking good). These pilots’ profiles were compared to the Aviation Safety Locus of Control(ASLOC) scale, used to measure external (ASLOC-E) or internal (ASLOC-I)orientation, and the Crew Resource Management Training Survey(CRMTS)developed from the Federal Aviation Administration’s guidelines for CRM. The results from the SDE indicated that over a fourth of the participants responded in a …

Self-Leadership Strategies & Performance Perspectives Within Student Aviation Teams, Christopher Ryan Bearden
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Thisstudy uses a correlational-design to explore relationships betweenpeer ratings of team member effectiveness, supervisor ratings of performance, and self-reportedperformancestrategiesassociated with self-leadership.Team members that were perceived as effective by their peers were also favorably rated on job performance by their supervisors. Peer-ratings onpossession of job-relevant knowledge, skills, and abilitiesincreased with frequency of communication behaviors, as rated by supervisors.This finding replicates previous research that suggests talking leads to perceived expertise in teams.Finally, self-goal setting was found to be related to peer-rated teammate effectiveness, but not supervisor-rated performance.
Individual Pilot Factors Predict Diversion Management During A Simulated Cross- Country Vfr Flight, Kathleen Van Benthem Ph.D., Chris M. Herdman Ph.D.
Individual Pilot Factors Predict Diversion Management During A Simulated Cross- Country Vfr Flight, Kathleen Van Benthem Ph.D., Chris M. Herdman Ph.D.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
The risk of an accident during general aviation (GA) flight increases when pilots are required to make unexpected diversions. Specifically, a diversion may result in loss of situation awareness (SA). Loss of SA is associated with controlled flight into terrain,incorrect trajectory for orbiting or landing, or becoming lost en route. In the present study, 44 GA pilots (aged 41 to 74 years) flew a cross-country route in a Cessna 172 simulator and encountered an unexpected diversion to an alternate aerodrome. The outcome measure consisted of a diversion management score. Significant predictors of diversion management were pilot age and license, a …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Human-autonomous systems have the potential to mitigate pilot cognitive impairment and improve aviation safety.A research team at NASA Langley conducted an experiment to study the impact of mild normobaric hypoxia induction on aircraft pilot performance and psychophysiological state. A within-subjects design involved non-hypoxic and hypoxic exposures while performing three 10-minute tasks.Results indicated the effect of 15,000 feet simulated altitude did not induce significant performance decrementbut did produce increasein perceived workload. Analyses of psychophysiological responses evince the potential of biomarkers for hypoxia onset. This study represents on-going work at NASA intending to add to the current knowledge of psychophysiologically-based input to …
Warhorse: A New Approach To Manned/Unmanned Teaming, Paul Schutte, Ralph Williams, Ronald Daiker
Warhorse: A New Approach To Manned/Unmanned Teaming, Paul Schutte, Ralph Williams, Ronald Daiker
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
This paper presents a multi-human/multi-vehicle control and integration concept called Warhorse. Warhorse is a control paradigm that is applied to all vehicles (air or ground) that are used in conducting operations. The Warhorse concept aids humans in developing operational plans, enacting a plan using single or multiple vehicles (manned and/or unmanned), and individually controlling a single vehicle (i.e., one-on-one). It synergistically integrates the human with the machine so that the warfighter can bring all their skills and experience to bear on accomplishing the mission.

Human-Machine Articulation Work: Functional Dependency Dialogue For Human-Machine Teaming, Clayton D. Rothwell, Valerie L. Shalin
Human-Machine Articulation Work: Functional Dependency Dialogue For Human-Machine Teaming, Clayton D. Rothwell, Valerie L. Shalin
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Articulation work is an overlooked requirement for successful human-machine teams. Articulation work captures the often hidden task management activities human-human teams regularly perform in response to functional dependencies amongst team members. While human-human teams demonstrate articulation work through language, human-machine teams currently do not. Aviation is replete with examples, from the superficially mundane adaptation inherent in the turnaround of commercial aircraft to the life-threatening misunderstanding in Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 and Asiana Flight 214. Current research in human-machine language-mediated interaction has failed to study tasks that are sufficiently complicated to require articulation work, resulting in a misleading optimism about the …

The students had met selection criteria. At the time, indicators of success included variables associatedwith simulator based training, camaraderie, shared learning and opportunities to reflect on training. Four years later, 81% are now flying professionally: eight …
How Automation May Transform The Ways In Which Crew Manage Peak Workload And Incapacitation, Nick Mcdonald, Alison Kay, Rabea Morrison, Margaret Ryan
How Automation May Transform The Ways In Which Crew Manage Peak Workload And Incapacitation, Nick Mcdonald, Alison Kay, Rabea Morrison, Margaret Ryan
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
A ‘Crew Manage the Operation’ concept was developed as a unifying framework to analysethe combined role of diverse technologies in supporting the management of peak workload and incapacitation. Multiple-crew configurations meanthat many of the same technologies are supporting quite contrasting instantiation of crew roles. While Proactive and Immediate modes support the independence of the crew in their cockpit, both reactive modes of workload management pose questions about the information flow between the cockpit and ground control, and in turn about the level of support or, in the final mode, effective interventionthat could be provided from the ground. These issues are …

The critical thinking used to address individual needs provides an excellent demonstration of problem solving that reflects human factorsconsiderations, based on the SHELL …
Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard
Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
Runway incursionsare a threat to runway safety andhave been increasing in recent years. Incursions are categorized into three categories, pilot deviations (PD), operational incidents (OI), and vehicle pedestrian deviations (VPD). At general aviation airports, PDs are the most prevalent runway incursion type. Inadequate situational awareness is one of the human factors associated with PDs. Student pilots,pilots flying to an unfamiliar airport, ground operations personnel, and emergencyplanning and emergency responders can benefit from the use of visual aids that extend beyond an airport diagram or static Google Earth imagery. More robust visual aids can potentially increase situational awareness and reduce the …

Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon
Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017
We investigated integrating Conflict Probe (CP) on air traffic controllers’ Radar Side (R-Side) displays. Eight controllers worked realistic, high-trafficsimulation scenarios alone, using both R-Side and Radar Associate Side (RA-Side) displays. We manipulated CP presence on the R-Side— like today,italways appeared on the RA-Side—and the presence of yellow alerts for near-conflicts. We used established controller performance and workload metrics, plus novel operational analyses not used in past studies. R-Side CP had few workload effects, but increased voice communications when we included yellow alerts. It improved the efficiency of correcting conflict-inducing clearances, and seemed to facilitate proactive control to avertmore urgent alerts. …

Techniques For The Human Centered Evaluation Of Designs For The Future Aviation System, Philip J. Smith, Kathy Abbott, Lawrence J. Prinzel, Amy Pritchett, Tanya Yuditsky
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2015
In order to evaluate new operational concepts, system designs, procedures and technologies for the future aviation system, we need to develop and validate a range of techniques to ensure the safe and effective performance of human-machine systems. This becomes increasingly important as such systems incorporate increasing levels of automation and autonomy for technologies, and as they attempt to integrate increasingly complex subsystems. It is challenging to evaluate the individual components of such systems relative to meeting their design requirements. It is orders of magnitude more challenging to evaluate performance when they are embedded in the larger system context. While there …

Pupillary Response As An Indicator Of Processing Demands Within A Supervisory Control Simulation Environment, Ciara Sibley, Joseph Coyne, Akshith Doddi, Phillip Jasper
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2015
Current Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operator task demands are highly variable and unbalanced across team members, resulting in sub-optimal operator utilization which leads to mishaps. This has driven the Department of Defense’s desire for more flexible team structures and task allocation tools. Unobtrusive and continuous measures of operator state are needed to effectively allocate tasking to operators and prevent errors. Twenty participants completed two twenty minute supervisory control sessions where task load was manipulated by varying event frequency (e.g., information requests) and eye tracking data was collected. Pupillometry data revealed increased mean and maximum pupil sizes with increased task load …

Saccade Detection Using Polar Coordinates – A New Algorithm, Matt Middendorf, Christina Gruenwald, Lucas Stork, Samantha Hoepf, Scott Galster
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2015
Over the past few decades substantial research has been conducted regarding saccades (rapid eye movements). There are two components of this research. First there is the detection of the saccades, and second how to interpret the saccades features (amplitude, length, and velocity) to inform specific areas of research. This involves both experimental research and clinical applications. The detection of saccades is typically accomplished using two approaches, including cameras and the electrooculogram (EOG). Both of these approaches require algorithms to process the raw data, detect saccades, and calculate the saccade features. The current effort focuses on detecting saccades in the EOG …
