Abstract:
To decode the pilot’s behavioral awareness, an experiment is designed to use an aircraft simulator obtaining the pilot’s physiological behavior data. Existing pilot behavior studies such as behavior modeling methods based on domain experts and behavior modeling methods based on knowledge discovery do not proceed from the characteristics of the pilots themselves. The experiment starts directly from the multimodal physiological characteristics to explore pilots’ behavior. Electroencephalography, electrocardiogram, and eye movement were recorded simultaneously. Extracted multimodal features of ground missions, air missions, and cruise mission were trained to generate support vector machine behavior model based on supervised learning. The results showed that different behaviors affects different multiple rhythm features, which are power spectra of the [Formula: see text] waves of EEG, standard deviation of normal to normal, root mean square of standard deviation and average gaze duration. The different physiological characteristics of the pilots could also be distinguished using an SVM model. Therefore, the multimodal physiological data can contribute to future research on the behavior activities of pilots. The result can be used to design and improve pilot training programs and automation interfaces.

Abstract:
Interest in advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) operations for on-demand passenger and cargo transport continues to grow. There is ongoing research on market demand and forecast, community acceptance, privacy, and security. There is also ongoing research by National Aeronautics and Space Administration , Federal Aviation Administration, academia, and industry on airspace integration, regulatory, process, and procedural challenges. Safe integration of UAM and AAM will also require different stakeholder perspectives such as air traffic controllers, manned aircraft pilots, remote pilots, UAM operators, and the community. This research aimed to assess the willingness of manned aircraft pilots to operate in UAM integrated airspace based on airspace complexity and UAM automation level. In addition, a moderated mediation analysis was conducted using trust and perceived risk as mediators and operator type as a moderating variable. The results indicated that automation level influenced pilots’ willingness to operate an aircraft in integrated airspace. A moderating effect of operation type on automation level and willingness to pilot an aircraft was also observed: professional pilots were more amenable to UAM operations with a pilot on board compared with remotely piloted operations. Results from the study are expected to inform airspace integration challenges, processes, and procedures for UAM integrated operations.

Abstract:
Since the concept of Manned-UnManned Teaming(MUM-T) and Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) can efficiently respond to rapidly changing battle space, many studies are being conducted as key components of the mosaic warfare environment. In this paper, we propose a rule-based AI engagement model based on Basic Fighter Maneuver(BFM) capable of Within-Visual-Range(WVR) air-to-air combat and a simulation environment in which human pilots can participate. In order to develop a rule-based AI engagement model that can pilot a fighter with a 6-DOF dynamics model, tactical manuals and human pilot experience were configured as knowledge specifications and modeled as a behavior tree structure. Based on this, we improved the shortcomings of existing air combat models. The proposed model not only showed a 100 % winning rate in engagement with human pilots, but also visualized decision-making processes such as tactical situations and maneuvering behaviors in real time. We expect that the results of this research will serve as a basis for development of various AI-based engagement models and simulators for human pilot training and embedded software test platform for fighter.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to formulate a unitary measure of performance for simulated one-versus-one, within visual range, air-to-air combat. The measure will serve as a criterion for the development and validation of specific measures of ACM skill that can be used to provide diagnostic performance feedback to pilots. Two experiments were conducted in which fighter pilots served as judges and rank-ordered, from most to least desirable, hypothetical ACM engagement outcomes. Outcome variables included (1) whether or not the hypothetical pilot achieved a “kill,” (2) whether or not he survived the mission, (3) the percent of time the pilot was in an offensive, defensive, or neutral posture, (4) length of engagement, and (5) posture at the beginning and end of the engagement (offensive, defensive, or neutral). In order to determine inter-rater agreement among judges in Experiment I, their rankings were correlated. Correlations ranged from .93 to .99. Pilots' rankings of engagement outcomes were subjected to linear regression analyses to derive equations that could be used as a unitary measure of ACM success. The regression equation in Experiment I accounted for 95% of the variance in rankings, and the composite regression model calculated in Experiment II accounted for more than 70% of the variance.

Abstract:
The Air Superiority Knowledge Assessment System (ASKAS) was developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory as a method for measuring knowledge in fighter pilots. Differences in ASKAS results have been shown to correspond with the knowledge level of pilots with different amounts of experience. To further test this tool, it has recently been integrated into a week-long training program. ASKAS is given before and after training to measure changes in knowledge as a result of the training. Our results show that there is a small but measurable increase in knowledge, as measured by ASKAS, after the training. In addition, there is a quadratic relationship between pilot experience and performance on ASKAS, suggesting that mid-level pilots have the highest levels of knowledge. These results support the validity of ASKAS as a tool to measure changes in knowledge during training, and provide insight on how to improve ASKAS for future use.

Abstract:
Pilot training and expertise are key aspects in aviation. A traditional way of evaluating pilot expertise is to measure performance output. However, this approach provides a narrow view of the pilot’s capacity, especially with regard to mental and emotional profile. The aim of this study is hence to investigate whether neurophysiological data can be employed as an additional objective measure to assess the expertise of pilots. In this regard, it has been demonstrated that mental effort can be used as an indirect measure of operator expertise and capacity. An increase in mental effort, for instance, can automatically result in a decrease in the remaining capacity of the operator. To better investigate this aspect, we ask two groups of Italian Air Force pilots, experienced (Experts) and unexperienced (Novices), to undergo unusual attitude recovery flight training simulations. Their behavioral (unusual attitude recovery time), subjective (mental effort demand perception) and neurophysiological data (Electroencephalogram, EEG; Electrocardiogram, ECG) are collected during the entire flight simulations. Although the two groups do not exhibit differences in terms of unusual attitude recovery time and mental effort demand perception, the EEG-based mental effort index shows how Novices request significantly higher mental effort during unusual conditions.

Abstract:
Arising from the need to employ innovative solutions to safely and efficiently maintain air traffic separation in increasingly denser skyways, the concept of Free Flight involves shifting some air traffic management responsibilities from air traffic control specialists on the ground, to pilots in the cockpit. Such a shift in traffic management responsibilities will be critically dependent upon the development of displays to provide traffic and hazard information to pilots in the cockpit (Wickens, Carbonari, Merwin, Morphew, & O'Brien (1997; Battiste (in progress); Johnson, Battiste, Delzell, Holland, Belcher, & Jordan, 1997). This research examined the effect of different information-varying display aids (predictors and threat vectors) for in-cockpit traffic displays, on pilot performance, workload, attentional demands, and flight safety. Fifteen pilots flew a series of traffic avoidance scenarios in a Free Flight simulation designed to assess the effects of different levels of traffic display information on these pilot variables. Three, 2D-coplanar prototype displays were compared which differed in the level of traffic information provided. Analysis of the data revealed that the traffic display with the most predictive information supported increased safety and decreased workload, without appreciable decrements in flight performance or efficiency.

Abstract:
Background. Visual search and detection of small-size ground objects in difficult weather conditions is a task that provokes psychophysiological stress. The influence of professional pilot activity on the psychophysiological cost of air reconnaissance remains unclear. Materials and methods. The study on the detection and identification of a ground object during landing approach was carried out in winter, during daylight hours: 42 aircraft pilots (average age 30.0 ± 2.8 years, experience from 7 to 14 years) performed 192 research flights. Studies of the subjective assessment of the range to small-size ground objects (SSGO) depending on different visibility conditions and flight altitude were carried out with the participation of 11 aircraft pilots (average age 31.2 ± 1.4 years, experience from 10 to 14 years). The aircraft pilots performed 33 research flights, during which the indicators of neuro-emotional stress were recorded using on-board recording equipment. Results. The search for SSGO in difficult weather conditions (DWC) is accompanied by the increased neuro-emotional stress of the pilot. The pilot's eye estimate of the range to SSGO in conditions of a limited maximum visibility (2.5–4.0 km) for altitudes of 300–400 m is characterized by overestimating the range by an average of 12 %, while good visibility results in underestimating the range. A flight under the clouds with maintaining the distance between the lower edge of the cloud and a flight height of about 50 meters is more favorable for the search for SSGO. With a decrease in this distance to 25 m or less, there is an increase in the physiological cost of such activity (increase in heart rate by 11.6 %; respiration rate by 13.7 %). Conclusion. The psychophysiological features of a pilot that affect the detection and identification of SSGO in DWC mostly depend on the maximum visibility. The coefficients obtained make it possible to adequately estimate the detection and identification range during air reconnaissance in DWC. Pilot’s workload, as well as the level of his/her neuro-emotional stress are determined by the maximum visibility and the distance between the lower edge of the cloud and the specified flight altitude.

Abstract:
A clear definition of pilot performance beyond manipulative skills remains a challenge. Attempts have been made to annunciate the cognitive and behavioural skill set which comprises this area of performance. Crew resource management (CRM) is one such effort which, while it has done much to identify pilot behaviours, has not translated easily into useable selection and general performance instruments. CRM has not yet identified an umbrella construct which clearly and efficiently organises management of flight aspects of the airline piloting role. Markers that are used by airline check and training personnel in a specific airline to assess suitability for command were identified. Organisational understanding of SA was explored and revealed a more strategic focus than the tactical approach adopted by preceding researchers. In a further study, this strategic focus was investigated through a series of semi-structured interviews with experienced airline Captains. Recurring activity themes were identified and were found to approximate the proposed constructs of self-regulation. This concept was explored and defined in a further study which identified actions which were considered essentials to the functionality of each of these recurring themes. These results were used as the foundation for a novel set of management of flight performance indicators for the organisation within which the research was carried out. Initial trials of an ipsative questionnaire derived from these action statements were carried out as the final study of this research

Abstract:

This thesis describes the evaluation of a prototype (Illustrator) for future simulator training of Within Visual Range - combat in the Swedish Air Force. The main focus was to collect and transform user acceptance data (expert opinions) to useful guidelines for continued development. Thirteen active fighter pilots participated in the study. The aim was to use expert opinion to study a) the psychological user acceptance, and b) the technical user acceptance, of the Illustrator together with c) gathering opinions for future improvement. Three psychological aspects were rated before and after the sessions to measure psychological user acceptance. For technical user acceptance, seven fidelity levels of the Illustrator were evaluated regarding realism, limitation of performance and importance of realism after the sessions. The sessions consisted of WVR-scenarios. Four different questionnaires were used for data collection. Two fidelity levels showed to diverge from the others in many ways, and were identified as major problems by the participants. No change of the psychological aspects was found between measurements. According to the results of the evaluation, suggestions and guidelines for future development are presented. Finally, issues of interest for future research are proposed.

Abstract:

A study of communication content, frequency and problems was performed at the Swedish Air Force Air Combat Simulation Centre, FLSC. The purpose was to investigate the connection between team communication and performance variables, to study communication problems during air combat and to employ and develop the PILOT method of communication problem analysis. Ten fighter pilots and four fighter controllers engaged in simulated air combat beyond visual range in teams on two sides, Blue and Red, with four pilots and one fighter controller each. Eight such training runs lasting 15 to 25 minutes were analyzed with regard to the Blue team’s communication during launch situations, i.e. one minute before launching a missile to either missile impact of failure, and problems during whole runs. The performance of the Blue team was rated by an experienced training instructor in six of the runs. It was hypothesized that positive outcomes would be associated with high communication frequencies but low communication problem rates. Results showed that high utterance frequencies were positively associated with positive global outcomes, i.e. wins, but not associated with high instructor ratings or launching hitting missiles. Incoherent results were found for communication problems. The results were discussed and further research suggested.

Abstract:
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the layer of air directly influenced by the Earth’s surface and is the layer of the atmosphere most important to humans as this is the air we live in. Methods for measuring the properties of the ABL include three general approaches: satellite-based, ground- based and airborne. A major research challenge is that many contemporary methods provide a restricted spatial resolution or coverage of variations of ABL properties such as how wind speed varies across a landscape with complex topography. To enhance our capacity to measure the properties of the ABL, this thesis presents a new technique that involves a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) equipped with a customized payload for measuring wind speed and particulate matter. The research presented herein outlines two key phases in establishing the proof-of-concept of the payload and its integration on the sUAS: (1) design and testing and (2) field demonstration. The first project focuses on measuring wind speed, which has been measured with fixed wing sUASs in previous research, but not with a helicopter sUAS. The second project focuses on the measurement of particulate matter, which is a major air pollutant typically measured with ground- based sensors. Results from both proof-of-concept projects suggest that ABL research could benefit from the proposed techniques.

The process of flying an aircraft requires the pilot to complete tasks at every moment. Safety is the highest priority while completing these tasks. Aircraft can’t afford the occurrence of major accidents. A high proportion of aircraft accidents and incidents are caused by an accumulation of human factors. Get rid of human factors, reduce human errors is also another very important topic. The situation awareness (SA) of the pilot is a vital element that can’t be ignored in human error. Rescue helicopter pilots must manage multiple uncertainties in a very short period of time; the complexity of a flight mission imposes a heavy mental workload (MWL) on the pilot. A heavy MWL decreases the pilot’s SA, possibly resulting in flight decision errors. Currently, the literature contains little empirical evidence regarding real-world helicopter flights. In order to solve this problem, a novel empirical approach is adopted in this study, using real-time probe to measure the awareness of the pilot operating a real aircraft in flight. Because both subjective and objective assessments of the pilot’s SA during rescue flights are urgent, Situation Present Assessment Method (SPAM); Situation Awareness Rating Technique (SART); NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) are considered in this study. The participants were National Airborne Service Corps (NASC) pilots who were accustomed to flying UH-1H helicopters with traditional manual controls. Checking pilots verified the effectiveness of the measurements. In our experiments, the objective assessments were based on the execution of SPAM; the subjective assessments for standard criteria were based on SART and NASA-TLX. In this research, real-world helicopter flights was measured to examine the relationship between MWL and SA. After obtaining the pilot’s SA assessment, we used computer software to calculate the data based on the pilots’ positions, the pilots’ ages, the pilots’ flight-hours (experience), the type of awareness, and the type of MWL; these data were consider with relative analysis, variance analysis, t - test, and regression analysis. The experimental results explain how NASC pilots can optimize SA and avoid the most dangerous factors of human error.

Abstract:
This study examines the differences between the skills and competencies of New Zealand flight school graduates and the types of skills and competencies believed to define a proficient air transport pilot. In New Zealand the training of professional pilots is directed towards meeting the requirements laid down by the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority for the licensing of professional pilots. However, some evidence suggests that competence for licensing purposes does not necessarily meet the requirements of the airlines and the types of skills that they require as a prerequisite to airline training. Although not clearly defined, this shortfall has been recognised for several decades and traditional thinking is that extra flying experience gained as a general aviation pilot will develop the skills necessary for entry into airline pilot training. The importance that pilots of differing experience levels attach to technical and non-technical skills and their perception of the training effectiveness of those skills and how deficiencies in those skills contributed to aircraft accidents was explored by a four stage study including: i) a review and analysis of flight test results obtained from graduate pilots on a university air transport pilot programme; ii) the analysis of responses to questionnaires supplied to three pilot groups within the New Zealand aviation industry; iii) the analysis of air transport aircraft accidents and their primary and contributing causes; and iv) interviews with qualified airline pilots working for New Zealand airlines. The results indicated that throughout the spectrum of experience and qualifications, from student pilot to airline pilot, the technical skill of aircraft handling was highly valued and the training in this skill was considered by all pilots to be satisfactory. In contrast, while non-technical skill deficiencies were found to be primary or contributing factors in many aircraft accidents, less importance was attached to non-technical skills by all pilot groups. The training effectiveness of these skills was rated as only moderately effective or of minimal effectiveness. The findings are discussed and recommendations are made for the improvement of basic flight training. In addition, a model is proposed for the fast tracking of flight school graduates into the airline training schools. Several areas for future research are also proposed.

Abstract:
AbstractIt is apparent that climate change affects every facet of life as no living organism lives outside of the universal environment (air, water, land), and all of these are affected by one or more climate or weather conditions. Climate affects agriculture and vice versa as they are deeply interconnected. The effect of climate change on agriculture goes a long way to increase or decrease food security and invariably food nutrition through its impacts on agricultural lands. This is because the more food insecurity there is, the more issues of undernutrition are observed.This chapter studies the different ways climate and climate change affect crop production through the different sections of agriculture in terms of plant diseases and biocontrol, food production, livestock rearing, fish production, forestry, and microbial diversity. It goes further to look at the different ways nations and communities are adapting to climate change to mitigate the challenges of food insecurity and nutrition. Finally, some of the solutions that can be pilot tested at the community level, which can later be cascaded to national and regional levels, are also emphasized. Other recommendations that can become a research focus to forestall this threat are also highlighted and would be important in policy development.

Abstract:
Flight skill loss due to the overuse of automation has become an industry concern. Aircraft accidents have been attributed to pilots' inability to manage their aircraft in manual flight resulting from unexpected changes in automation and loss of situation awareness. While aviation experts have associated these accidents to diminished stick and rudder skills from the overuse of automation, the problem may be attributed to how pilots are trained in automated aircraft. The FAA has encouraged pilots to manually fly to improve skills; however, limited opportunities for manual flight exist in the current international environment, with potentially less opportunities in the future due to NextGen compliance. A critical view of pilot training identifies how airlines could train pilots in modern day aircraft to maximize safety. The benefit of computer-based training to teach operating procedures, fixed based simulators versus level D full flight simulators, redesigning training programs to improve pilots' understanding through cognitive load theory, and the power of repetition will be addressed.

Abstract:
Cadets, in order to become pilots, apart from successfully passing their flight training program, need to also complete their academic education, where many technical subjects, such as aeronautics, exist. Cadets often face difficulties in comprehending certain concepts in the subject “aeronautics” as well as the applied link between aeronautics and flight safety. To this end, at the Hellenic Air Force Academy, an innovative educational tool is under development so as to facilitate students' understanding of the practical use of aeronautics and its impact on aircraft safety. An important aspect of the proposed educational tool is that it can be easily adopted into the pilots' flight training program and offer a complimentary training experience regarding mid-air crisis scenarios. The new educational tool is based on introducing in-class simulation and problem-based learning, thus combining theory and practice. The aim of this chapter is to describe the development of this educational tool and to demonstrate the way that it can be employed for academic and flight training purposes.

Abstract:
Radio-telephonic communication between professional pilots and air traffic controllers has been the topic of numerous corpus research projects in the field of Aviation English (AE) in recent years (see BARSHI; FARRIS, 2013; BOROWSKA, 2017; FRIGINAL et al., 2020). Notably, Bieswanger (2016), following Biber and Conrad’s (2009) framework for register analysis, identified two distinct, specialized, and highly restricted registers of AE in use by professional aviation personnel: Standard Phraseology and “plain” AE. Similar corpusdriven register analyses of discourse between student pilots and their flight instructors in training program contexts is scarce. The Corpus of Flight Training (CFT) monitor corpus developed in this study currently covers 53 hours of transcribed audio and video recordings of one-on-one, instructional communication in AE between flight instructors and student pilots. Authentic linguistic data was collected in three key contexts of flight training operations: oral instructional activities, Flight Training Devices (FTDs), and in-air flight. This paper discusses the results of a quantitative, exploratory multidimensional analysis (MDA) (BIBER, 1988; FRIGINAL, 2013) comparing preliminary CFT data between the aforementioned three flight activities to other spoken and written registers of English. Preliminary findings suggest a strong overlap of flight training activities with the English registers related to involved persuasion and information interaction. Linguistic features between the CFT and the Brown and LOB corpora as well as language use based on activity type will be discussed. These initial results can help further refine target language usage for Aviation English assessments and inform curricula for ab initio pilots.

The quality of a company's information system is essential and also its physical data model. In this article, the authors apply data mining techniques in order to generate knowledge from the information system's data model, and also to discover and understand hidden patterns within data that regulate the planning of flight hours of pilots and copilots in an airline. With this objective, they use Weka free software which offers a set of algorithms and visualization tools geared to data analysis and predictive modeling of information systems. Firstly, they apply clustering to study the information system and analyze data model; secondly, they apply association rules to discover connection patterns in data; and finally, they generate a decision tree to classify and extract more specific patterns. The authors suggest conclusions according these information system's data to improve future decision making in an airline's flight hours assignments.

Virtual reality educational applications are supporting educational systems to provide better and more realistic training. Military training systems have incorporated such applications in their training programs having positive results in terms of training outcomes, safety, and cost efficiency. The aim of the chapter is to present the benefits of using virtual reality applications in connection to the modern learning theories. More specifically, the chapter summarizes the concepts of experiential, active and constructive learning theories conjoining them with the results of a research conducted to the Hellenic Air Force training pilots concerning their virtual reality training via flight simulators. As derived from the research, virtual reality educational applications are very helpful as far as it concerns acquiring new knowledge, developing skills, with predominant flexibility in decision making and more effective task prioritization and changing trainees' attitudes at the level of self-confidence, understanding, and self-reflection.

Abstract:
Flight safety is an extremely important parameter in pilots’ training. Every pilot must know the aircraft, its limits, and how he/she will effectively deal with any in-flight contingencies. To this end, flight training includes real flight hours (whether with a flight instructor or solo flights), simulator hours, targeted presentations, and discussions of case studies. In the abovementioned training methods, the flight instructor must be with the trainee at a specific place and for a specific time, which sets practical restrictions. For example, the weather may not always allow for a flight, the simulation of critical situations or mechanical/engine failures during flight may present serious risks, the flight simulator may be off for certain periods for maintenance purposes and the flight instructor may not be constantly available to the trainee. In our paper, we will examine the use of virtual tools for the pilots’ training on flight safety procedures and the relevant regulations of the aircraft

Abstract:
Aviation and air travel have always been among the most innovative industries throughout history. Both the International Air Transportation Authority (IATA) Technology Roadmap (IATA, 2019) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Artificial Intelligence (AI) roadmap propose an outline and assessment of ongoing technological prospects which change the aviation environment with the implementation of AI from the initial phases of the collegiate education. Using traditional flight simulators is an essential part of initial and recurrent training for pilots. These simulators help pilots achieve and maintain proficiency in normal and abnormal circumstances that may arise during flight operations (Myers et al., 2018). The upskilling performed through simulators are typically completed at a far cheaper cost than the training completed in the air. However, the capital cost of simulator units can range from USD 10-15 million, which results in an exorbitant cost recovery of approximately USD 1,500 per session (Bent & Chan, 2010). This makes it expensive for air carriers and undergraduate pilot training programs to comply with mandated flight and simulator training requirements. In addition, because the COVID-19 epidemic is so widespread, companies that provide flight training have been entrusted with developing novel ways to instruct their students, such as through remote pilot-to-student education. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (2020) acknowledges the use of non-traditional technologies that can successfully fulfill the requirement for ongoing training in ever-changing regulatory standards. The following four steps follow a simple-to-complex implementation approach that is advocated for using AI in the instruction provided by college aviation programs: 1.) Activities relating to outreach and recruitment 2.) Introducing new students to the PFP (Professional Flight Program). 3.) Additional training in addition to fundamental and advanced jet instruction 4.) Research aimed at mastery of pilot competencies, increasing student self-efficacy, and decreasing the number of crew operations.Alterations to aviation training will affect the performance of humans and decision-making. The research used an AI methodology that accepted "any technology that appears to replicate the performance of a person." The AI approach followed this broad definition. The thematically selected research on AI decision-making in collegiate aviation trainees' perception and experience was structured based on an analysis of the available literature concerning the current uses of AI in aviation. The use of artificial intelligence in pilots' training and operations was investigated through a combination of interviews with Subject Matter Experts (including Human Factors analysts, AI analysts, training managers, examiners, instructors, qualified pilots, and pilots under training) and questionnaires (which were distributed to a group consisting of professional pilots and pilots under training).The findings were reviewed and evaluated concerning the appropriateness of the AI training syllabus and the notable differences between them in terms of the decision-making component.

Innovation, management of change, and human factors implementation in-flight operations portray the aviation industry. The International Air Transportation Authority (IATA) Technology Roadmap (IATA, 2019) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) roadmap propose an outline and assessment of ongoing technology prospects, which change the aviation environment with the implementation of A.I. and introduction of extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO) and Single Pilot Operations (SiPO). Changes in the workload will affect human performance and the decision-making process. The research accepted the universally established definition in the A.I. approach of “any technology that appears to emulate the performance of a human” (EASA, 2020). A review of the existing literature on Direct Voice Inputs (DVI) applications structured A.I. aviation decision-making research themes in cockpit design and users’ perception - experience. Interviews with Subject Matter Experts (Human Factors analysts, A.I. analysts, airline managers, examiners, instructors, qualified pilots, pilots under training) and questionnaires (disseminated to a group of professional pilots and pilots under training) examined A.I. implementation in cockpit design and operations. Results were analyzed and evaluated the suitability and significant differences of e-MCO and SiPO under the decision-making aspect.Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), Extended Minimum Crew Operations (e-MCO), Single Pilot Operations (SiPO), cockpit design, ergonomics, decision making.

Abstract:
The operation of helicopters on ships is one to most challenging tasks due to adverse weather conditions, the lack of visible cues, turbulent airwakes behind the ship and a moving confined landing spot on the ship. Currently, only a very limited number of pilot assistance systems are available to ease helicopter ship deck landings. The focus of this paper is the evaluation of a Head-DownDisplay(HDD),aHead-MountedDisplay(HMD)andtwodifferentAttitudeCommand Attitude Hold (ACAH) flight control architectures for ship deck landings based on piloted simulation. A ship deck landing scenario at the research flight simulation facility Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES) has been extended to include turbulent ship airwakes from high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The pilot assistance systems have been implemented at the simulator and evaluated by four helicopter pilots. In particular, the results show a favorable potential of the Head-Mounted Display and the flight control architectures.

Abstract:
To maintain offshore wind farms, helicopters are often used for the transportation of maintenance personnel and equipment. Offshore missions present numerous challenges for pilots and crew, due to environmental factors (e.g. lack of visual cues over the sea surface) and weather conditions (e.g. fog and low clouds). In order to enhance safety and operational capability of helicopters, a pilot assistance system especially developed for offshore operations has been investigated within the project HeliPAS-OW. The multimodal pilot assistance system consisting of a head-up visual display system, sensor-based system for obstacle detection, specific offshore route planning and a navigation system have been tested. Results from an initial test campaign conducted using the research flight simulator, the Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES), are presented. This was accomplished as collaboration between the project partners from industry and research. The evaluation of the results focuses on the impact on workload and situational awareness, as well as the possibilities for optimizing the system. The results show that the pilot assistance can improve the situational awareness and reduce the workload in a degraded environment.

Abstract:
This research aims to present, identify, and propose the implementation of AI technology in aviation decision-making, as well as examine how AI can affect the transition from multi-crew to eMCO and SiPO, based on the rationale that the single-pilot human operator having accessible data in a timely and naturally interactive fashion could enhance natural decision making (NDM) (Klein, 2008; Orasanu & Fischer, 1997).According to the industrial roadmaps, the first certification of assistance for pilots is anticipated to occur in the year 2025, and this will be followed by a gradual transition to full autonomy sometime around the year 2035. The progression of events in the field of commercial air transport can be broken down into three distinct stages:•First step: crew assistance/ augmentation (2022-2025)•Second step: human/ machine collaboration (2025-2030)•Third step: autonomous commercial air transport (2035+)There have been identified two different operational concepts:Extended Minimum-Crew Operations (eMCOs), formerly known as "Reduced Crew Operations," in which single-pilot operations are permitted during the cruise phase of the flight with a level of safety similar to that of today's two-pilot operations (to be implemented beginning in the year 2025).Single-Pilot Operations (SiPOs), in which, at a later stage, end-to-end single-pilot operations might be allowed, also based on a level of safety equivalent to today's two-pilot operations, to be implemented as of the year 2030. Single-Pilot Operations (SiPOs), in which, at a later stage, end-to-end single-pilot operations might be allowed.The proposed artificial intelligence aviation decision-making research in cockpit design and users' experience was constructed by first surveying the current literature about Artificial Intelligence (AI). The findings point to the difficulties artificial intelligence poses, including its limitations and users' resistance, in shifting from multi-crew operations to e-MCO and SiPO. This resistance to change should be considered when designing any potential upgrades to the AI cockpit design or user interactions. However, the existing commercially available AI technology may be ready to serve some low-impact or non-time-critical applications (for example, weather in destination and alternate airports update during the cruise phase) in this transitional period to eMCOs and SiPOs, which would postpone the necessity for a complete flight deck redesign at this time (Stanton & Harris, 2015). The utilization of AI for the administration of systems and the retrieval of information has the potential to improve both the perception (Level 1 SA) and comprehension (Level 2 SA) of pilots (Endsley, 1995). Therefore, the single-pilot human operator in the NDM cockpit environment who has data accessible promptly and in a naturally engaging fashion would be able to make judgments that are more fulfilling and closer to optimums in the NDM environment (Klein, 2008; Orasanu & Fischer, 1997).

Abstract:
This paper provides a brief overview of how modelling and simulation has been used to inform preparations for First of Class Flight Trials (FOCFT) aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of the United Kingdom’s two new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, from the perspective of a collaborative research programme undertaken by industry and academia to develop high-fidelity simulations of the carrier’s ‘airwake’. Computer modelling of the unsteady air flow over the carrier, and of the aircraft flight dynamics, have been integrated into high-fidelity flight simulators at BAE Systems Warton, and at the University of Liverpool. The Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) carriers have primarily been designed to operate the Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II multirole fighter aircraft and will also operate a range of rotary-wing assets. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used to compute the time-varying air flow over and around the 280m long ship, along the F-35B landing approach path and up to 400m astern of the ship. The paper shows a selection of results from the full-scale CFD analysis, and the results from a small-scale experiment that was conducted to provide confidence in the validity of the computed airwakes. The QEC airwakes have been employed by BAE Systems in its fixed-wing flight simulator at Warton, where test pilots have conducted simulated deck landings for a variety of wind over deck conditions, so providing experience for F-35B test pilots and the ship’s Flying Control (FLYCO) crew ahead of FOCFT, which will be conducted later this year. Airwakes have also been implemented in the HELIFLIGHT-R flight simulator at the University of Liverpool, where helicopter landings to the QEC have been simulated using a generic medium-weight maritime-helicopter model. A selection of results from the helicopter flight simulator trials is presented in terms of the workload ratings reported by test pilots, and these are related to the characteristics of the computed airwake at the landing spots tested. The paper demonstrates how modelling and simulation can be used to reduce both the risk and cost of flight trials, by informing the FOCFT planning process, and by highlighting, in advance of the trials, which wind speed and azimuth combinations may require more focus.

Abstract:
An experimental and numerical investigation into the attenuation of combustion induced pressure oscillations in a single nozzle rig was undertaken at the United Technologies Research Center. Results from these investigations indicated a high combustor exit Mach number, similar to that used in a gas turbine engine, was required to correctly simulate the combustor dynamics and evaluate acoustic characteristics of lean premixed fuel injectors. Comparisons made between aerodynamically stabilized and bluff-body stabilized nozzles and the use of premixed and diffusion pilots showed that small levels of diffusion piloting behind a bluff-body yielded the best acoustic/emission performance. Their success is due to increased flame stabilization (superior anchoring ability) which reduced flame motion and thermal/acoustic coupling. For cases where diffusion piloting was not present, both designs exhibited similar dynamical behavior. Increases in the combustor exit Mach number and reductions in the inlet air temperature were shown to degrade acoustic performance of both nozzle designs. The bluff-body configuration with small levels of diffusion piloting, however, was found to be less sensitive to these changes when compared to its aerodynamic counterpart.

Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes a method for evaluating the received coverage from Automatic Identification System (AIS) shoreside sites along the Missouri River managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Lock Operations Management Application (LOMA), and presents the results of that analysis. The purpose is to identify AIS coverage gaps in the current system. Reception of AIS transmissions between shore-based transceivers and vessels is generally line-of-sight between the vessel and the AIS site antenna. However, signal reception may be affected by factors such as the distance and terrain between the vessel and the transceiver site, quality of the transceiver installation, state of the equipment either aboard the vessel or at the shore transceiver station, and atmospheric phenomena. Quantifying coverage gaps along the inland waterways system can inform research that uses AIS data, provide information on the performance of the AIS network, and provide guidance for efforts to address coverage gaps to improve navigation safety. In autumn 2020, severe shoaling was occurring on the Missouri River. As the shoals were identified, the Kansas City District requested the LOMA system transmit AIS Aid to Navigation (AtoN) to mark the shoals in several critical areas. However, vessel pilots sometimes reported that they were not receiving the AIS AtoN being transmitted. At the request of the Kansas City District, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (ERDC-CHL), conducted a coverage analysis using data collected from the LOMA AIS transceivers in the area to determine if there were coverage issues and their extent and to aid in determining the best means of addressing any coverage gaps.

Emissions from trash burning represent an important component of regional air quality, especially in countries such as India where the practice of roadside, residential, and municipal trash burning is highly prevalent. However, research on trash emissions is limited due to difficulties associated with measuring a source that varies widely in composition and burning characteristics. To investigate trash burning in India, a collaborative program was formed among RTI, Duke University, and the India Institute of Technology (IIT) in Gandhinagar, involving both senior researchers and students. In addition to researching emission measurement techniques, this program aimed to foster international partnerships and provide students with a hands-on educational experience, culminating in a pilot study in India. Before traveling, students from Duke and IIT met virtually to design experiments. IIT students were able to visit proposed sites and offer specified knowledge on burning practices prior to the pilot study, allowing potential experiments to be iteratively improved. The results demonstrated a proof of concept of using a low-cost sensor attached to a commercial drone to measure emissions from a municipal dump site. In addition, for small-scale residential and roadside trash burning, a combustor was designed to burn trash in a consistent way. Results suggested that thermocouples and low-cost sensors may offer an affordable way for combustor designers to assess particulate emissions during prototype iterations. More experiences like this should be made available so that future research can benefit from the unique insights that come from having veteran researchers work with students and from forming international partnerships.

Abstract:
The summary research report describes and summarizes the goals, course and results of the TAČR–VISNEP project. The aim of the experimental development project was to create an information system (IS) for informal carers (ICs) for a person after stroke using modern information technologies in the technical and non-technical spheres of research. IS will allow users to obtain relevant, timely and interconnected information on support networks to prevent their possible social isolation and exclusion, physical and psychological exhaustion, health disorders and other risk factors in their difficult life situation. The purpose of IS is to contribute to improved awareness of ICs support systems across other long-term care providers, in particular public administration, general practitioners etc. The intent of the project was to create and verify a pilot model of IS in Moravian-Silesian Region, which can subsequently be applied in other regions and / or other target ICs groups. The presented results of the project are based on data obtained by research procedures of qualitative and quantitative methodology in the process of agile software development.

Abstract:
As part of the initiative "Strategic Networking Platforms in the Context of Major Societal Challenges", the BMBWF funded four networking platforms, starting in mid-2016: - Network Ageing - Ageing and Demographic Change as Challenge and Opportunity". - National networking platform for personalised medicine (ÖPPM) - National networking platform for "Sustainable Water Systems - National Networking Platform for "European and International Climate Agendas The three-year funding periods of these networking platforms will end in 2020 at the latest. Therefore, the EU and OECD Research Policy Division (Division V) responsible for the networking platforms OECD Research Policy (Department V/5) of the BMBWF commissioned Technopolis Group Austria to evaluate the National Networking Platforms of the BMBWF. The aim was to analyse what has been achieved so far and, on this basis, to develop recommendations for future work, both individually for each funded networking platform and for the design and management of the platform initiative itself by the BMBWF - with regard to the latter, the four funded networking platforms serve as pilot projects.

Abstract:
The article deals with the actual issue of the specificity and algorithm of the introduction of innovative AR technologies in the process of psychological and pedagogical support of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). An innovative element of theoretical and methodological analysis of the problem and empirical research is the detection of vectors of a constructive combination of traditional psycho-correctional and psycho-diagnostic approaches with modern AR technologies. The analysis of publications on the role and possibilities of using AR technologies in the process of support children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and inclusive environment was generally conducted by surfing on the Internet platforms containing the theoretical bases for data publications of scientific journals and patents. The article also analyzes the priorities and potential outcomes of using AR technologies in psycho-correction and educational work with autistic children. According to the results of the analysis of scientific researches, Unified clinical protocol of primary, secondary (specialized), tertiary (highly specialized) medical care and medical rehabilitation “Autism spectrum disorders (disorders of general development)”, approaches for correction, development and education of children with ASD, AR technologies were selected for further implementation in a comprehensive program of psychological and pedagogical support for children with ASD. The purpose of the empirical study is the search, analysis and implementation of multifunctional AR technologies in the psycho-correctional construct of psychological and pedagogical support of children with ASD. According to the results of the pilot study, the priorities and effectiveness of using AR technologies in the development of communicative, cognitive, emotional-volitional, mnemonic abilities of children and actualization of adaptive potential and adaptive, socially accepted behaviors are made. The possibilities and perspectives of using AR technologies as an element of inclusive environment, with regard to nosology and phenomenology, need further investigation.

Abstract:
In November 2021, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) commissioned Ipsos to build on previous research and guidance to establish a process to rapidly test communication pieces. We achieved this by piloting different survey tools and testing existing communication pieces. The FSA wanted to identify features that make their communications most effective. This report presents the learnings from the pilot, which can be used to aid the development of future communications. This report is split into five sections: 1 Executive summary 2 How the pieces of communication landed: including initial reactions and engagement. 3 Reputation indicators: exploring how exposure to materials impacts awareness, familiarity, favourability, and trust in the FSA. 4 Topic specific indicators: exploring the impact exposure to materials has on people’s familiarity and attitudes towards the specific topics covered by them. 5 Testing different best before/use by dates messages: findings from the AB testing using Ipsos DUEL.

Abstract:
The 2017 Duck Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Pilot Experiment was conducted by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, Field Research Facility (FRF), to assess the potential for different UAS to support US Army Corps of Engineers coastal and flood risk management. By involving participants from multiple ERDC laboratories, federal agencies, academia, and private industry, the work unit leads were able to leverage assets, resources, and expertise to assess data from multiple UAS. This report compares datasets from several UAS to assess their potential to survey and observe coastal terrain and structures. In this report, UAS data product accuracy was analyzed within the context of three potential applications: (1) general coastal terrain survey accuracy across the FRF property; (2) small-scale feature detection and observation within the experiment infrastructure area; and (3) accuracy for surveying coastal foredunes. The report concludes by presenting tradeoffs between UAS accuracy and the cost to operate to aid in selection of the best UAS for a particular task. While the technology and exact UAS models vary through time, the lessons learned from this study illustrate that UAS are available at a variety of costs to satisfy varying coastal management data needs.
