Full textThe terrorist-controlled surface-to-air fire (SAFIRE) threat places U.S. air-carrier pilots and passengers at significant risk. The problem addressed in this study is that air-carriers do not provide pilots with risk-reduction training designed to prepare them to deny, detect, defeat, and report SAFIRE attacks, and there is limited scholarly research to address this topic. The purpose of this quantitative, comparative study was to analyze U.S. air-carrier pilot SAFIRE risk-reduction training as related to the principles of adult learning theory that state adult learners will be more successful when they perceive training as valuable and applicable to their daily tasks and responsibilities. The analysis included descriptive statistics to determine the majority (70.5%) of 112 U.S. air-carrier pilots contained in the self-selected purposive sample perceived SAFIRE risk-reduction training as valuable. The analysis conducted using comparative statistics indicated there was not a statistically significant difference in the perception of the value of SAFIRE risk-reduction training between the four sample groups. The findings indicated the majority (85.7%) of air-carrier pilots believed an effective SAFIRE risk-reduction training program must consist of a combination of computer-based training, classroom training, and simulator training methods. Recommendations for future research are to determine if the results of this study apply to non-U.S. air-carrier pilots, identify parameters for specific countertactics, and generate specific objectives for potential training programs.

Full textAbstract: The Swedish Air Force (SwAF) has a long experience of using simulators for pilot training and they are in use within many of the aircraft-systems the SwAF currently operates. However, statistics show that the simulators are not used to their full extent. In combination with the lack of clear and adequate objectives in some cases, questions concerning the effectiveness of the use of simulators arise. The aim of this essay was to investigate if pilots working at a operational squadron in the Swedish Air Force believe that their training in simulators contributes to their knowledge and progress and also what the planning for and realization of the training itself looks like. The research was conducted as qualitative interviews of operational pilots during a period of training at Swedish Air Force Combat Simulation Centre (FLSC). The answers from the interviews was analyzed using operational indicators deduced from general training theories as well as from more specific results from studies of simulator characteristics. The result shows that the pilots believe that simulators are a valuable supplement to their flight training and if the use of simulators in the Swedish Air Force is ineffective, it most likely is not due to the attitude of the operational pilots concerning simulator training or them having an inadequate knowledge of how simulators should be used.

Kleinfehn, Andrew David. "Regional airline pilot commute| How commuting by air affects pilots' satisfaction with life." Thesis, The University of North Dakota, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10247662.
Full textAt a time of increased use and competitiveness amongst U.S. regional airlines, and the growing pilot shortage, regional air carriers and pilots alike lack proper understanding how pilot commutes by airplane affect satisfaction with life. There are numerous studies on how commuting by vehicle, bicycle, mass transit system, or walking (traditional commute) to and from work affects one’s satisfaction with life. There are no identified studies which investigate regional airline pilots’ commute by airplane and its affect on satisfaction with life.
The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge on regional airline pilot commutes, how commuting affects regional pilots’ satisfaction with life, and to explore why regional airline pilots choose to commute. This study used both qualitative and quantitative measures to accomplish this task by imploring a mixed methods exploratory sequential design. The two research questions were what is the variation in the Satisfaction With Life Scale scores between different groups of regional pilots and what aspects of pilot commuting are related to traditional commuting?
This study used previous related research and regional airline pilot qualitative interviews to build a quantitative survey to measure satisfaction with life. The survey was distributed to a large regional airline to get a representative pilot population sample response. Statistical analysis was conducted on the responses which looked for significance between different groups of regional airline pilots.
Results from a t-test indicated that there is a significant difference in Satisfaction With Life Scores for regional pilots that are able to traditionally commute to their domicile vs. regional pilots who commute by airplane to their domicile. Further t-test results indicated that there is a significant difference in satisfaction with life for airplane commute captains vs. traditional commute captains, and airplane commute captains vs. traditional commute first officers. When only airplane commute pilots were analyzed, there are significant differences in satisfaction with life for pilots that commute over 43.33 hours a month (equivalent to one hour, one way traditional commute), and a one way airplane commute of two or more legs. A Between-Groups ANOVA indicated that commuting the day before a trip begins and commuting the day after a trip ends (un-commutable trip) produces a less satisfied pilot compared to trips that are commutable at the beginning, end or both ends.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The recent procurement of modern fourth-generation fighter aircraft by the South African Air Force (SAAF), severe budget constraints, as well as demographic transformation of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) impacted heavily on the selection and training of SAAF pilots. Against this backdrop, this predictive criterion-related validation study attempted to find an optimal battery to predict various aspects of pilot training performance, using all SAAF qualified pilots from 1997 to 2002 as the sample (N=107). Multiple regression analyses were performed to construct a model which can be used to predict the success of trainee pilots in three phases of pilot training, namely officers' formative training, ground school training and practical flight training. Stepwise regression analyses with training grade achieved as criterion were performed on the data for each of the phases of training. Multiple correlations of 0,34 (p<0,001), 0,21 (p>0,05) and 0,22 (p<0,05) were obtained for flight, ground school and formative training results respectively. Various recommendations regarding the present composition of the battery are made
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die onlangse aanskaffing van moderne vierde-generasie vegvliegtuie deur die Suid Afrikaanse Lugmag (SALM), sowel as omvattende begrotingsbeperkinge en die demografiese transformasie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW) het In swaar impak op die keuring en opleiding van SALM vlieëniers gehad. Teen hierdie agtergrond het hierdie voorspellende kriteriumgerigte valideringsstudie gepoog om In battery saam te stel wat die verskeie aspekte van prestasie tydens vlieëniersopleiding optimaal kon voorspel. AI die SALM vlieëniers wat gekwalifiseer het van 1997 tot 2002 is in die steekproef ingesluit (N=107). Meervoudige regressieontledings is uitgevoer om In model te bou wat die sukses van kandidaatvlieëniers kon voorspel tydens die drie fases van opleiding, naamlik offisiersvorming, grondskool en praktiese vliegopleiding. Stapsgewyse regressie-ontleding is gedoen vir elke fase van opleiding, met opleidingspunt behaal as kriterium in elke fase. Meervoudige korrelasies van 0,34 (p<0,001), 0,21 (p>0,05) en 0,22 (p<0,05) is verkry vir vlieg-, grondskool-, en vormingsopleidingspunt onderskeidelik. Verskeie aanbevelings in verband met die samestelling van die battery word gemaak.

Employment relations in China's airline industry has received considerable public concern for a long time as there has been no effective solution for the pilot employment dispute. Emerging in a peculiar industrial and social-political context, the research of employment relations in the airline industry, particularly in the respect of pilot employment relations with increased vulnerability to the shortage of pilots, presented a completely different picture in comparison with research on other industries in China. Changes of business mode and external labor market in the competitive market since gradual deregulation have significantly shocked the outdated coordination mechanism of employment relationships in dominant state owned airlines, which were playing a critical role in influencing productivity, quality of service and customer satisfaction. In this paper, negotiation as a basic method for dispute resolution at workplace level and a breakthrough point for setting up inherent coordination mechanism in SOEs has been discussed in respect of harmonizing the relationship between pilots and airlines. The contingent negotiation on daily issues within the workplace was considered as a constructive and realistic way to facilitate positive outcomes by applying value creating skills. Being a practical approach to wedging the employees' voice into the rigid and paternalistic management and then to promote equity., efficiency and voice at workplace, this micro level and problem solving oriented negotiation needs to be advocated and embedded within current employment relations management in considering both pilots 'and airlines' interests.

Full textSammanfattning Luftföroreningar fortsätter att utgöra ett problem i organisationer. Fler studier behövs för att identifiera och minska exponering hos arbetare för luftföroreningar. För närvarande finns begränsat med forskning som är fokuserat på metoder för att hantera luftföroreningar, särskilt med fokus på att minska exponering genom att ändra beteenden, attityder, kunskap och motivation som relateras tillarbetsmiljöfrågor, genom exempelvis utbildning. Syftet med denna avhandling är att utveckla befintliga arbetsmiljöåtgärderoch analysera nya metoder för att hantera exponering i arbetssituationer där luftföroreningar finns. Detta görs genom att studera arbetsmiljöattityder, arbetsmiljömotivation och arbetsmiljöutbildningar som är relaterade till luftföroreningar i svenska organisationer. Attityder, motivation, utbildning och kontrollmetoder för att minska risker i form av luftföroreningar studeras med hjälp av enkäter, intervjuer, tidigare forskning och PIMEX-metoden. Avhandlingen består av 4 delarbeten/Papers.
