Full textAbstract:
Mental workload is an important concept and has been proven to be a precursor to situation awareness and operative performance. This thesis describes methods to measure mental workload through self-ratings and psychophysiological measurements. Similarities and differences in psychophysiological reactions and rated mental workload between simulated and real flights are described. The consequences of such similarities and differences are discussed and its possible effect on training potential. A number of empirical studies are presented. They describe the experience and the psychophysiological reactions of pilots flying in a simulator and in real flight. In most cases, the reactions are similar – there is a high degree of accordance in rated mental workload and psychophysiological reaction between simulated and real flight. The studies show, that even though the responses are similar, there are also interesting differences. In one study, the pilots have consistently lower heart rate, higher heart rate variability and less eye movements in the simulator than in real flight. In another study, during certain events, the pilots have higher heart rate in the simulator than in real flight. The results are important in order to understand the training potential of simulators from a human factors perspective. Further, two measurement equipments for psychophysiological recording are compared and various psychophysiological measures are tested in applied settings. The thesis also discusses some methodological aspects, such as methods to create reliable and valid variables in dynamic applied research and how to deal with individual differences. An algorithm is suggested to remove differences between individuals. This facilitates the finding of within-participant effects. Finally, results from a study on embedded training tools are presented. In this study, student pilots and instructors rated the usefulness of several embedded training tools. These tools were built into a simulator to facilitate learning and teaching by illustrating concepts that can be difficult to understand. The results show clearly that such training tools are appreciated by both students and instructors. Well implemented, thoroughly selected training tools can dramatically improve the training potential of future training simulators.Mental arbetsbelastning är ett viktigt begrepp som har visat sig kunna predicera bland annat situationsmedvetande och operativ prestation. Avhandlingen visar olika sätt att mäta mental arbetsbelastning, bland annat genom självskattningar och psykofysiologiska mått. Skillnader och likheter i psykofysiologisk reaktion och skattad mental arbetsbelastning mellan simulerad och verklig flygning beskrivs. Betydelsen av sådana skillnader och dess konsekvenser för möjligheten till träningseffekt diskuteras. Ett antal studier beskrivs som handlar om upplevelsen och de fysiologiska reaktionerna hos piloter som flyger i simulatorer och i verklig flygning. I de flesta fall förekommer likartade reaktioner i simulatorn som i verkligheten. Det finns en stor grad av överensstämmelse både vad gäller psykofysiologisk reaktion och upplevd mental arbetsbelastning. Men studierna visar också att även om reaktionerna är lika, så skiljer de sig också åt på några viktiga punkter. Piloter som genomför ett uppdrag i en simulator är inte lika stressade som i verklig flygning. De har lägre puls och högre pulsvariabilitet. I vissa enstaka fall har piloterna högre puls i simulatorn än i motsvarande fall i verklig flygning. Resultaten är viktiga för att förstå hur nyttan av simulatorer kan utvärderas ur ett användningsperspektiv. Vidare jämförs två olika utrustningar för psykofysiologisk mätning och olika psykofysiologiska mått testas i tillämpade miljöer. Olika utrustningar för att mäta psykofysiologisk reaktion jämförs och olika psykofysiologiska mått diskuteras. Avhandlingen problematiserar olika metodologiska aspekter, såsom metoder för att skapa reliabla och valida mått i dynamisk tillämpad forskning, samt metoder för att hantera individuella skillnader. En algoritm föreslås för att eliminera olikheter mellan individer. Den underlättar upptäckandet av inomindividseffekter. Avslutningsvis presenteras resultaten från en studie avsedd att mäta inställning till ett antal inbyggda pedagogiska träningsverktyg. De verktyg som fanns inbyggda i simulatorn var framtagna för att förbättra träningseffekten genom att konkretisera koncept och relationer som kan vara svåra att förstå. Pilotelever och instruktörer fick flyga i en simulator och gavs sedan möjligheten att pröva olika träningsverktyg. Resultaten visar tydligt ett positivt intresse för träningsverktygen både från elever och från instruktörer. Väl implementerade noggrant utvalda träningsverktyg, kan kraftigt förbättra träningseffektiviteten i framtida träningssimulatorer.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.The daily flight schedule at Training Air Wing-Two (TW-2) is built manually each day by squadron scheduling officers (SKEDSOs). They rely on their intuition, experience and sound judgment to output a flight schedule. Each SKEDSO spends eight hours a day on this task, but currently there is no measure of the efficiency a given flight schedule. Our goal is to enhance the current planning process by alleviating many of the tedious tasks through an automated optimization program. To that end, this research develops Flight Training Scheduler (FTS), an optimization-based tool, to aid the SKEDSO in production of daily flight schedules. FTS allows the SKEDSO to place an objective, value-oriented metric on the total events scheduled. A typical instance of this problem for TW-2's Phase II students consists of approximately 30 students, 65 flight events and 35 instructor pilots. FTS provides fast, automated guidance to the SKEDSOs that can help them increase throughput of students in the advanced strike training syllabus.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1994 and 2003 spatial disorientation resulted in at least 202 aircraft
accidents, 184 of them resulting in fatalities. Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS)
provides a cost effective and safe way to simulate spatial disorientation and
potentially test pilot’s vestibular system prior to aircraft operation. This experiment
investigates the use of GVS as an indicator of motion sensitivity and explores the
effects of GVS on flight simulation performance. Bilateral bipolar rectangular pulse
electrical stimulations were given to subjects via skin-mounted electrodes placed over
each mastoid process to stimulate the vestibular system with roll and yaw sensations.
Two studies were conducted in this work: one on motion sensitivity and one to
examine the effects of GVS during flight simulator use.
The motion sensitivity test consisted of an alternating GVS sequence to simulate
rolling back and forth. The sequence did generate motion sickness in two out of 12
subjects. Results show no correlation to motion history scores calculated from
Kennedy’s Motion Sickness Questionnaire (MSQ).
The flight simulator test coupled automatically generated congruent, conflicting,
and sham orientation sensations to the roll angles of the aircraft. The stimulations
used in this test did not indicate any effect on the simulator flight performance of the
subjects. Feedback from subjects during this test raised concern over the delay
between left- and right-side stimuli. Further testing to reduce the surface skin
sensation showed that a ramp or increasing exponential waveform not only reduced
the sensation of current entering the body but significantly increased the orientation
sensations resulting from the stimulation. Increasing the orientation response and
decreasing the sensation of current breaking the surface of the skin provides a much
more desired stimulation for each of the tests in this experiment and any other future
tests related to GVS.

Full textAbstract:
The acquisition of pilot navigational skills utilising visual landmarks is a crucial skill that is required as part of Visual Flight Rules navigation towards obtaining a Private Pilot License. Due to the high cost of pilot training simulators, industry has identified a need for research in efficient utilisation of low-end, low cost personal compute flight simulators to assist in developing pilot skills. Analysis of the effectiveness of the use of such personal computer simulators depend on proper configuration determined by measurable errors to define simulator fidelity. To date, research has shown that the configuration of these simulators appears to have been done in an ad-hoc fashion and not in a scientific fashion. Therefore, the problem that needed to be solved was how to effectively configure such simulators. This thesis research attempted to solve this problem and present the process for effectively configuring a personal computer simulator, or flight training device, capable of successful Visual Flight Rules navigation. The simulator was configurated utilising a process that followed an interpretation of the Design Science research method, and an error correction model to determine the errors in the simulator configuration. This was done by comparing two probability distributions to measure the maximum error variable distance in order to configure a simulator suitable for the acquisition of Visual Flight Rules navigation piloting skills required for obtaining a Private Pilot Licence in Australia. This error identification method was then used to indicate simulator configuration efficiency and fidelity in order to achieve a minimum suitable configuration and setup. Further application of the findings of this research could potentially lead to the configuration of different types of non-aviation simulators, in particular Part-Task-Trainers and other training devices, including Virtual Reality Augmented Reality devices utilising various types of platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android.Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the Training Effectiveness of a low-cost, PC-based training system when compared with two modes (motion and no motion) of a cab training system with large screen for various aviation flying tasks. While much research on this topic has been done in the past, advances in technology have significantly altered what is considered a "low-cost" "simulator." The technology advances have in effect increased the ability of a "low-cost" "simulator" to deliver desired experiences to the user. These "simulators" often are nothing more than PC training system, with only notional representations of the actual aircraft. This research considers the use of such training systems in training for a highly complex and dynamic task situation, that task being a search and rescue mission. A search and rescue mission is far more complex task than those studied for possible "low-cost" simulation substitution in the past. To address that aspect, one mode of the cab involves motion in two degrees of freedom. The results of this research advances the body of literature on the capability of "low-cost" simulation to deliver the experiences necessary to learn highly complex tasks associated with search and rescue as well as further clarify the extent to which a motion platform aides in flight training. This research utilizes available platforms provided by the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center. Additionally, all the participants in the research are in training to be helicopter pilots. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three training configurations: a) Cab with motion turned ON, b) Cab with motion turned OFF and c) PC-based simulator. Training effectiveness is evaluated using measures for learning, task performance, and human factors. Statistically significant results are shown for the Cab with Motion and the Cab with No Motion configurations.Ph.D.

This study was conducted to determine the marginal cost of training Category I and II Naval Flight Officers. Marginal costs are those costs incurred by training one additional or one less Naval Flight Officer and include under- graduate flight training, permanent change of station, and graduate flight training costs. Category I marginal costs range from $51,244.30 for a P-3 Naval Flight Officer to $309,833.36 for an A-6 Naval Flight Officer. Category II marginal costs range from $24,950.02 for a P-3 Naval Flight Officer to $155,782.71 for an A-6 Naval Flight Officer. An additional study of incremental costs will be required to fully evaluate the financial impact of a large change in the Naval Flight Officer training rate.

Timson, Emma. "Flight simulation fidelity for rotorcraft design, certification and pilot training." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2013. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/15853/.
Full textAbstract:
The benefits of using flight simulators for rotorcraft design, certification and pilot training include reduced costs, increased safety, and control over external parameters such as environmental conditions and operational situations. The progression of technology and computing power over recent decades has led to the ability to manufacture highly sophisticated flight simulators that can be used to train complex flight operations and accurately predict the behaviour aircraft. However, such sophistication comes at a cost and there is a need to understand the trade-offs between cost and effectiveness to allow the benefits of flight simulation to be transferred to lower cost applications such as initial skills acquisition training. Assessment of simulator capabilities has traditionally been carried out with focus on the physical similarity of individual components of the simulator systems - motion system, visual system, flight model etc. However, this work is focused on the assessment of the fitness for purpose of the integrated system as a whole. This is referred throughout the thesis as perceptual fidelity, which has been defined as 'The simulator's ability to induce the behaviours known to be essential for operation of the actual aircraft in the performance of a specific task'. The novel contribution of the work in this thesis is the development of new quantitative metrics and a subjective evaluation technique that could be utilised across the simulation industry for quantification of perceptual fidelity of the overall simulation. It is intended that the methods detailed in this work could be used to support simulator development and augment current assessment techniques where appropriate. The quantitative measures of perceptual fidelity are based on comparison of ADS-33E PRF style performance metrics and the Attack metric, a control activity measure developed by Padfield et al. In this work, the utility of these metrics was assessed through correlation analyses with pilot subjective opinion. A lack of correlation in multi-axis tasks was seen and, as a result, novel metrics of pilot control strategy and adaptation have been developed in this work that show significant improvement in correlation with pilot subjective opinion. The subjective assessment methodology developed in this work is based around a new subjective rating scale – the Simulation Fidelity Rating (SFR) scale. The author contributed to the development of the SFR scale along with others at the University of Liverpool and the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada. This scale has been designed specifically to be industry applicable a d to determine the overall perceptual fidelity of the integrated simulation in a specific role. A campaign of piloted simulation and flight test trials has been conducted as the core experimental phase of this work. All the pilots completed a series of controlled experiments where a number of flying tasks were completed with a number of varied simulation models. The pilots rated each simulation against a baseline simulation using the SFR scale and their performance and control activity were recorded. This test campaign generated the pilot feedback for the development of the SFR scale and data for development of the quantitative metrics. The tests were also utilised to demonstrate how this assessment methodology can be used in controlled simulation experiments to provide previously lacking supporting evidence to simulator qualification criteria of individual components. From the analysis of the results, it was found that a more aggressive pilot excites the dynamics of the aircraft to a greater extent, thereby exposing more fidelity issues – leading to poorer SFRs. For similar reasons, an aircraft with degraded HQs was found to cause increased pilot sensitivity to transport delay. Perceptual fidelity was also found to be task dependent, In particular, pilots were found to be more susceptible to changes in off-axis response in the Acceleration-Deceleration manoeuvre than in the Precision Hover manoeuvre. These findings prove that here is a true need for simulation qualification criteria that are based on the intended use of the equipment. Significant spread was seen in the pilot ratings of perceptual fidelity in a number of cases. This was attributed partly to differing interpretation of the terminology within the Simulation Fidelity Rating (SFR) scale and also to pilot selection of task strategy. Therefore guidance material has been developed by the author from lessons learnt throughout the test campaign. This guidance material is intended to ensure best utility of the SFR scale in the future, to mitigate against the effects of differing interpretation of SFR terminology and variation in pilot task strategy through pilot briefing and correct experimental design. The SFR scale has been developed in the context of assessing a simulator for the purpose of rotary wing skills acquisition training. However, the methodologies described throughout the thesis are intended to be transferable to more sophisticated training devices for rotary-wing and fixed-wing pilot and crew training as well as for the quantification of the fidelity of certification and design simulators.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses potential cost savings associated with implementing airline pilot training curricula into the future P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). These curricula rely primarily on high-technology flight simulators and do not require any flight time in an actual aircraft. This thesis also provides an approach for estimating future P-8 FRS cost savings. The results of this thesis indicate that significant savings will likely accrue in the areas of fuel, Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR) and training expendable stores costs if airline pilot training curricula are implemented into the P-8 FRS in FY 2014. Further research is needed in many other cost areas before additional cost savings estimations can be made. Finally, this thesis discusses many additional considerations that should be taken into account before a future airline pilot training curricula implementation decision is made.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate currently commercially available head mounted virtual reality displays for potential use in pilot training simulators. For this purpose acommercial simulator was modified to display the virtual environment in an Oculus RiftDK2 headset. A typical monitor based setup was used to provide a set of hardware requirements which the VR implementation had to meet or exceed to be considered potentially usable for pilot training simulators. User tests were then performed with a group of users representative of those normally using pilot training simulators, including both pilots and engineers working with simulator development. The main focus of the user tests was to evaluate some potential weaknesses found in the technical comparison (such as when a measured parameter was close to the lower limit defined by the monitor based setup) and to make a measurement of the usability of the VR implementation. The results from the technical comparison showed that the technical requirements were met and in most cases also exceeded. There were however some potential weaknesses revealed during the user tests, which included screen resolution and the field of view. There was one main critical deficiency found during the user tests. This was the lack of interaction with the aircraft as users were only able to interact with the flight stick and throttle lever. While this enabled the users to control many aspects of the aircraft (by using buttons and other controls fitted on the flight stick/throttle) in a training scenario a user also has to be able to interact with other switches and/or monitors in the cockpit. This was however a known limitation of the implementation and thus didn’t affect the tested parts of the simulator. The user tests also confirmed that the resolution was a potential problem, but that the overall usability was high. Thus the VR implementation had potential for use in a pilot training simulator, if the critical issues found during the user tests were solved.

Turan, D. "On recognition of gestures arising in flight deck officer (FDO) training." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2011. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/4720.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an on-line recognition machine RM for the continuous and isolated recognition of dynamic and static gestures that arise in Flight Deck Officer (FDO) training. This thesis considers 18 distinct and commonly used dynamic and static gestures of FDO. Tracker and computer vision based systems are used to acquire the gestures. The recognition machine is based on the generic pattern recognition framework. The gestures are represented as templates using summary statistics. The proposed recognition algorithm exploits temporal and spatial characteristics of the gestures via dynamic programming and Markovian process. The algorithm predicts the correspond-ing index of incremental input data in the templates in an on-line mode. Accumulated consistency in the sequence of prediction provides a similarity measurement (Score) between input data and the templates. Having estimated Score, some heuristics are employed to control the declaration in the final stages. The recognition machine addresses general gesture recognition issues: to recognize real time and dynamic gesture, no starting/end point and inter-intra personal tem-poral and spatial variance. The first two issues and temporal variance are addressed by the proposed algorithm. The spatial invariance is addressed by introducing inde-pendent units to construct gesture models. An important aspect of the algorithm is that it provides an intuitive mechanism for automatic detection of start/end frames of continuous gestures. The algorithm has the additional advantage of providing timely feedback for training purposes. In this thesis, we consider isolated and continuous gestures. The performance of RM is evaluated using six datasets - artificial (W_TTest), hand motion (Yang, Perrotta), Gesture Panel and FDO (tracker, vision). The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) are used to compare RM's results. Various data analyses techniques are deployed to reveal the complexity and inter similarity of the datasets before experiments are conducted. In the isolated recogni-tion experiments, the recognition machine obtains comparable results with HMM and outperforms DTW. In the continuous experiments, RM surpasses HMM in terms of sentence and word recognition. In addition to these experiments, a multilayer per-ceptron neural network (MLPNN) is introduced for the prediction process of RM to validate modularity of RM. The overall conclusion of the thesis is that, RM achieves comparable results which are in agreement with HMM and DTW. Furthermore, the recognition machine pro-vides more reliable and accurate recognition in the case of missing and noisy data. The recognition machine addresses some common limitations of these algorithms and general temporal pattern recognition in the context of FDO training. The recognition algorithm is thus suited for on-line recognition.

Full textAbstract:
Due to economic and operational constraints, there is an increasing demand from aviation operators and training manufacturers to extract maximum training usage from the lower fidelity suite of flight simulators. It is possible to augment low-fidelity flight simulators to achieve equivalent performance compared to high-fidelity setups but at reduced cost and greater mobility. In particular for visual manoeuvres, the virtual reality technique of head-tracking amplification for virtual view control enables full field-of-regard access even with limited field-of-view displays. This research quantified the effects of this technique on piloting performance, workload and simulator sickness by applying it to a fixed-base, low-fidelity, low-cost flight simulator. In two separate simulator trials, participants had to land a simulated aircraft from a visual traffic circuit pattern whilst scanning for airborne traffic. Initially, a single augmented display was compared to the common triple display setup in front of the pilot. Starting from the base leg, pilots exhibited tighter turns closer to the desired ground track and were more actively conducting visual scans using the augmented display. This was followed up by a second experiment to quantify the scalability of augmentation towards larger displays and field of views. Task complexity was increased by starting the traffic pattern from the downwind leg. Triple displays in front of the pilot yielded the best compromise delivering flight performance and traffic detection scores just below the triple projectors but without an increase in track deviations and the pilots were also less prone to simulator sickness symptoms. This research demonstrated that head augmentation yields clear benefits of quick user adaptation, low-cost, ease of systems integration, together with the capability to negate the impact of display sizes yet without incurring significant penalties in workload and incurring simulator sickness. The impact of this research is that it facilitates future flight training solutions using this augmentation technique to meet budgetary and mobility requirements. This enables deployment of simulators in large numbers to deliver expanded mission rehearsal previously unattainable within this class of low-fidelity simulators, and with no restrictions for transfer to other training media.

The work described in this final dissertation addresses the use of virtual reality in flight simulation. The attention has been focused on several aspects which should be considered when dealing with this topic, such: as the certification requirements issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); the systems and different components that made up a flight simulator; the limits in
training efficiency and effectiveness with traditional flight simulators; the integration of virtual reality in flight simulation; the possible strategies to develop a virtual reality-based simulator; and finally the results that could be achieved in
terms of realism, usability, implementation, compliance with regulations with simulation in virtual reality.
The simulation is fluid and the use of advanced scenarios does not affect the simulation. Thanks to the fact that open-source software has been used for the simulator, several customizations can be implemented to obtain different environments . It could be possible to simulate helicopters, commercial aircraft, or gliders easily by simply changing the flight commands with specific
devices: the straightforward advantage is that the cockpit and the external environment can be changed in a click because it’s all virtual. Moreover, the commands should be realistic in terms of grip and touch sensation, but their aesthetic features are not important because the pilots see the virtual commands during the simulation, and not the real ones.
Future developments include the implementation of codes to simulate without the user intervention and setting phase that is required now. Moreover, a testing phase with pilots could provide the developers with useful suggestions to increase the usability of the tool. The improvement of the simulation could lead up to its certification provided that the requirements by EASA that currently are not satisfied are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
This study is the first to attempt in Hong Kong to collect data about flight dispatch training for airlines. The purpose of this study was to examine the learning experiences of flight dispatchers when using different learning approaches and instructional methods for learning. In the light of an analysis of the training practices linked to the theory of adult learning, self-directed learning, learning style and learning satisfactions, we can determine the beliefs, expectations, and desires of flight dispatch trainees. This thesis argues that effective flight dispatch training goes beyond traditional instructor-centred teaching strategies (pedagogical approach). The new way of thinking about teaching flight dispatchers should also be based on adult learning theory and principles of andragogy. In addition, this thesis argues that flight dispatch training today is likely to be designed according to the needs and preferences of all stakeholders, rather than only according to the requirements of aviation regulators. The research questions are: What are flight dispatchers, trainers and flight dispatch managers' perceptions and expectations regarding the use of instructional methods and strategies currently used in flight dispatch training? What are flight dispatchers, trainers and flight dispatch managers' attitudes towards the use of computer-based training as an alternative instructional tool to replace classroom training? The research methodology adopted uses a mixed-method, sequential explanatory approach. Survey results have shown clear evidence that andragogy, self-directed learning and learning satisfaction play vital roles in the process of flight dispatch training. The results indicated that flight dispatchers' preferred mode of delivery is independent of their learning style, and classroom training had a more favorable reaction than did computer-based training, as demonstrated via quantitative and qualitative analyses. Those taking the computer-based course scored an average of 1.53 (effectiveness) and 0.65 (satisfaction) points lower than did those experiencing classroom training. The survey results did not support the findings from the literature that indicated all adults preferred self-directed learning. This study also included a qualitative analysis to address considerations of computer-based training as an alternative flight dispatch training delivery method. Although most trainees in the study said they preferred classroom training or on-the-job training, the majority felt that computer-based training was an appropriate delivery method to complement other, traditional methods of delivering flight dispatch training. Furthermore, the analysis of variances (ANOVA) for computer-based training satisfaction mean scores and generational group (novice and experienced flight dispatchers) were calculated. The results indicated that flight dispatch experience did not influence levels of satisfaction. To enhance or increase the creativity, innovativeness, and learning capacity of the workforce, a well-balanced training approach between formal classroom training, computer-based training, and on-the-job training should be encouraged in order to harness the advantages of both formal and informal learning.

Full textAbstract:
Decision making is fundamental to all aspects of flying operations. The results that flow from poor aeronautical decision making can be both swift and devastating.
The work of this thesis uses data from a variety of sources to investigate the following aspects of aeronautical decision making; accident and incident case histories and pilot decision making, case-based versus rule-based pilot decision training, pilot behaviours in the face of adverse weather.
The first part of thesis uses survey data to gain a better understanding of the role of accident and incident case histories in aviation safety and training. Anecdotal evidence suggests that exposure to case-based information can leave a lasting impression on a pilot and significantly influence their flying behaviour. To investigate this aspect more formally, information was obtained from a survey of 138 pilots. A questionnaire was then distributed to pilots worldwide and responses were received from 409 pilots, from all areas of aviation. The combined experience of pilots who responded was over 700,000 hours flying time.
The second part of the thesis uses experimental data to compare the effectiveness of aviation safety training using case-based material or rule-based material. Two experiments were carried out, based on the two areas that account for the majority of fatal general aviation accidents: flight into adverse weather and low flying. A total of 114 participants took part in the experimental studies.
The third part of the thesis is based on a set of 491 aviation accident and incident reports drawn from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau occurrence database. The study compares three groups of pilots who differed in their response to adverse weather conditions, as demonstrated by the following behaviours; VFR flight into IMC, a weather-related precautionary landing, some other significant weather avoidance action.
A number of common themes emerged from the three parts of the thesis. There is strong support for the importance of case-based material in aviation safety and training. However, the results also suggest that aeronautical decision making can be best understood in terms of a model that combines both case-based and rule-based reasoning. Rule-based material provides a basic framework of standard procedures and recommended practices, particularly for novices, while case-based material adds detail and salience to the framework, particularly in the form of affective markers linked to particular case histories.
One important aspect of the results can be summed up by the adage that 'a safe pilot is a proactive pilot'. That is, it is imperative for a pilot to take control of the situation before the situation takes control of them. The results also emphasise the dynamic nature of aeronautical decision making. A pilot may make a series of good decisions, but that is no automatic protection against a subsequent poor decision putting the safety of the flight at risk. Hence, it is critical that a pilot does not fly to the limit of their abilities, or let past success breed complacency.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide commercial aviation has been expanding rapidly. This expansion is set to continue with major aircraft manufactures like Boeing in 2018 forecasting an additional 790,000 new pilots will be required worldwide by 2036. This expansion is changing the dynamics of pilot training and the flow on effect of less experienced pilots entering airlines. This changing dynamic led to an Australian Senate enquiry into pilot standards in 2010. In 2018 the Australian Minister for Transport commissioned an expert panel of pilot training organisations and senior airline managers to investigate aviation. The panel stated the current expansion played a significant threat to the commercial aviation industry. Threats included the prohibitive costs for new students to become pilots, airlines poaching flight instructors and a reducing number of flight examiners (FE).
The flight examiner is responsible for the assessment of pilots at all stages of their career. In early pilot training there is a significant focus on aviation knowledge (e.g. rules of the air and aerodynamics) and flying skills (e.g. landing, turning, navigation) referred to as technical skills. Accidents over the last thirty to forty years in commercial aviation demonstrated that large aircraft in multi-crew flights were also attributed to human factors such as communication, teamwork and decision making, referred to as non-technical skills (NTS).
The assessment of technical skills has remained somewhat unchanged. However, non-technical skills are still evolving with research showing there remains issues centred on the separation of technical and non-technical skills, the constructs used, and the low inter-rater reliability in non-technical skills assessment. Nevertheless, experience by the researcher over the last five years as an Occupational Therapist (OT) working with airlines showed pilots with reoccurring performance issues, while initially signalled by a flight examiner as a technical and/or non-technical skills issue, could be better explained and remediated when categorised as issues associated with the postural, sensory, visual and/or cognitive systems.
This master’s thesis explores airline pilot performance using fundamental tools and perspectives used by Occupational Therapists. This exploration is not for the purpose of pilot selection, but rather, an opportunity to provide airlines with greater layers of intervention when performance issues arise with pilots. Accordingly, the study aimed to:
1. Identify a small number (four) of airline pilots previously assessed by a flight examiner demonstrating performances ranging from low to high.
2. Conduct further standardised and non-standardised occupational therapy assessments.
3. Determine if certain variables could impact on pilot performance.
The study showed the poor performing pilot had issues across all four systems - postural, sensory, visual and cognitive systems. The average performing pilots had issues across three of the systems - sensory, visual and cognitive systems. The highest performing pilot had no major difficulties across any of the systems. Interestingly some tests showed a reversal of results, with the poor performing pilot testing higher on some sub-tests, while the highest performing pilot tested poorly. The study discusses the findings in relation to pilot assessment and remedial training.Thesis (Masters)

Full textAbstract:
The ability of the United States Air Force (USAF) to sustain a high level of operational ability and readiness is dependent on the proficiency and expertise of its pilots. Recruitment, education, training, and retention of its pilot force are crucial factors in the USAF's attainment of its operational mission: defense of this nation and its allies. Failure of a student pilot during a training program does not only represent a loss of costly training expenditures to the American public, but often consists of loss of human life, aircraft, and property.
This research focused on the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps' (AFROTC) selection method for student pilots for the light aircraft training (LATR) program. The LATR program is an intense 16 day flight training program that precedes the Air Force's undergraduate pilot training (UPT) program. The study subjects were 265 AFROTC cadets in the LATR program. A variety of independent variables from each subject's higher education curricular background as well as results of preselection tests, participation in varsity athletics, prior flying experience and gender were evaluated against subsequent performance in LATR. Performance was measured by a quantitative performance score developed by this researcher based on 28 graded training factors as well as overall pass or fail of the LATR program.
Study results showed participation in university varsity athletics was very significantly and positively related to performance in the LATR program, followed by prior flying experience and to a very slight degree portions of the Air Force Officers Qualifying Test. Not significantly related to success in the LATR program were independent variables such as grade point average, scholastic aptitude test scores, academic major, gender and the AFROTC selection and ranking system.

In this case study, researchers investigated the instructional methods used to train private pilot students at Utah Valley University. Traditional one-on-one individualized learning methods were replaced with cooperative learning methods. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the cooperative learning methods used. Reduced training time, less repeated lessons and a reduced number of flight hours showed that cooperative learning methods were more efficient and a more effective way to train private pilot students at Utah Valley University.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.The Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) has been the qualifying benchmark for the Naval Aviation since World War II. While it is necessary that test scores effectively select the candidates with the greatest chance for success, the ASTB strides toward increasing diversity while maintaining low attrition. Using archived Student Naval Aviator and Student Naval Flight Officer ASTB subtest scores and Primary Flight Training (PFT) records, this study examined the ASTB's predictive ability with respect performance in PFT. Specifically the study consists of two analyses: 1) determine how well the ASTB could predict majority and minority group performance in primary flight training; and 2) determine how well the ASTB could predict success in each training phase and for the entire sample and select groups. The linear regression analysis successfully fit a significant model for the entire sample and Caucasians, but was unable to produce a significant model for African Americans or Hispanics, as there was insufficient data available for either group. The model, when fitted to the entire dataset, with race as an independent variable, yielded a result where all independent variables were significant. The results from the logistic regression models showed there was evidence that four of the ASTB subtests were significant and positive predictors for the entire sample and Caucasians; but was unable to produce a significant model for African Americans or Hispanics. It is apparent that the small data set for minorities limited this study. Efforts to collect data from personnel records should be conducted to obtain all scores from flight training, so that these groups can be further investigated.

Full textAbstract:
The Navy needs improved methods for assigning naval aviators (pilots) to fixed-wing and rotary-winged aircraft. At present, individual flight grades in primary training are used to assign naval aviator trainees to intermediate fixed wing or helicopter training. This study evaluated the potential of a series of single- and multitask tests to account for additional significant variance in the prediction of flight grade training performance for a sample of naval aviator trainees. Subjects were tested on a series of cognitive and perceptual psychomotor tests. The subjects then entered the Navy Flight Training Program. Subject's flight grades were obtained at the end of primary training. Multiple regression and artificial neural network procedures were evaluated to determine their relative efficiency in the prediction of flight grade training performance.
All single- and multitask test measures evaluated as a part of this study were significantly related to the primary training flight grade criterion. Two psychomotor and one dichotic listening test measures contributed significant added variance to a multiple regression equation , beyond that of selection tests E (5, 428) = 27.19, R squared = .24, multiple R = .49 , 2 < .01. A follow-on analysis indicated a split-half validation correlation coefficient of £ = .38, 2 < .01 using multiple regression and as high as £ = .41, 2 < .01 using a neural network procedure. No statistically significant differences were found between the correlation coefficients resulting from the application of multiple regression and neural network validation procedures. Both procedures predicted the flight grade criterion equally well, although the neural network applications consistently provided slightly higher correlations between actual and predicted flight grades.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis investigates the elements of a consistent strategy for favorable acquisition and utilization of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD), thus Full Flight Simulators (FFS) and Flight Training Devices (FTD). The primary purpose is to determine a knowledge-based strategy for the end-user, acquisition professional, aviation firms and institutions. Hence, it could be possible to shed a light for cooperative groups and main institutions of national innovation system involved in entrepreneurial and innovative efforts regarding complex technologies like FSTD.
In the sample study, 114 pilots from varied sources were administered a questionnaire and their FFS and FTD perceptions were statistically tested regarding each &ldquotechnology&rsquo
s usefulness&rdquo
in four types of training. Another variable, each &ldquo
technology&rsquo
s ease of operation and use&rdquo
was also tested additionally via agent-based model whether it had any effect on technologies&rsquo
selection processes. It could be inferred that that aviation institutions and firms could acquire and utilize FTD as a complementary to both aircraft and FFS within a range of 30-60% depending upon type of the training. Moreover, FTD could be acquired and utilized as a substitute to FFS for Instrument Flight Training (IFT). The FTD&rsquo
s usefulness for IFT was rated as 67% by the military pilots. The research also asserts that the aviation institutions and firms as well as cooperative groups and organizations could favor the established strategy and policy during their FSTD related efforts at &ldquo
micro and meso-level&rdquo
. The final aim is to create a collaborative medium and a synergy for those agents.

Full textAbstract:
The ability to visualize and manipulate an airspace is an important tool for an instructor controlling a flight simulator mission. Usually, airspaces are observed and manipulated through 2D and 3D views on a computer screen. A problem with using computer screen is spatial perception, which is significantly limited when observing a 3D space. Technologies such as AR and VR provide new possibilities for presenting and manipulating objects and spaces in 3D which could be used to improve spatial perception. Microsoft's HoloLens is a see-through head mounted display which can project 3D holograms into the real world to create an AR experience. This thesis presents a prototype for displaying a 3D map view using HoloLens which has been designed to improve spatial perception while maintaining high usability. The prototype has been evaluated through heuristic and formative evaluations and was well received by its potential users. The prototype has also been used to present suggestions to improve spatial ability for similar applications.
