- Abstract
The report analyzes data on the number of women pilots and the number of women faculty in colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree in aviation. Data were obtained from "U.S. Civil Airmen Statistics,""The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac," and a survey of the 69 collegiate institutions that have aviation programs. The data verify that women are not proportionally represented in aviation career fields that require Federal Aviation Administration certification or in the aviation faculty ranks. Only six percent of all aviators are women, slightly decreased from 1978 to 1988. While the number of women who have become Airline Transport Pilots has increased from 1978 to 1988, the number of women student pilots has decreased. Women hold 5.2% of full-time aviation faculty positions. Women hold 6.5% of the earned doctorates in the technologically related field of engineering. Five percent of Certified Flight Instructors are women. Several recommendations are offered to increase the representation of women in the collegiate aviation faculty. Includes eight references.

Training operators to efficiently operate critical systems is a cumbersome and costly activity. A training program aims at modifying operators' knowledge and skills about the system they will operate. The design, implementation and evaluation of a 'good' training program is a complex activity that requires involving multi-disciplinary work from multiple stakeholders. This paper proposes the combined use of task descriptions and augmented reality (AR) technologies to support training activities both for trainees and instructors. AR interactions offer the unique benefit of bringing together the cyber and the physical aspects of an aircraft cockpit, thus providing support to training in this context that cannot be achieved by software tutoring systems. On the instructor side, the LeaFT-MixeR system supports the systematic coverage of planed tasks as well as the constant monitoring of trainee performance. On the trainee side, LeaFT-MixeR provides real-time AR information supporting the identification of objects with which to interact, in order to perform the planned task. The paper presents the engineering principles and their implementation to bring together AR technologies and tool-supported task models. We show how these principles are embedded in LeaFT-MixeR system as well as its application to the training of flight procedures in aircraft cockpits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

In the conditions of conducting operations on the territory of our state (Donetsk and Lugansk regions) for the training of high-quality specialists of the State Aviation of Ukraine, there are essential needs for the creation of high-quality ground flying trainers (GFT) of the State Aviation of Ukraine, which will be designed and built taking into account the modern requirements. In the general process of training aviation specialists in the leading countries of the world aviation industry and using aviation, it has long been understood and established the main role of GFT. Significant saving of aeronautical equipment resource plays a special role in this issue . The analysis of the existing GFT, their comparison and using not only in the State Aviation of Ukraine but also in other countries of the world were carried out. Three main classes of trainers are considered: tactical, multi-task and procedure, their comparison is made and the necessity of their application in the State Aviation of Ukraine is analyzed. Focus on the complexes of tactical trainers, which have practically unlimited methodological opportunities for training commanders and crews for the State Aviation of Ukraine, was made. By applying the procedure trainers, preparation a team of specialists who are able to adequately respond and make competent decisions in different circumstances is provided. The main directions of GFT development are considered: its development and production of multifunctional samples. Substantional consideration was given to the integration of live monitoring and recording system into the GFT. The presence of this system in the trainers will increase the methodological capabilities of the flight training process. The analysis of the basic world tendencies and directions of development of the most important GFT components and examination of the newest methodical approaches to the training of the flight crew members on the different types of GFT are conducted. Problems regarding the lack of modern guidance documents that would allow to competently assess and adopt the newest GFT to be used for the training of State Aviation specialists.were considered. Possible ways of improving the existing training complexes and new methodological approaches to the training of the flight crew members on GFT were reviewed. more...

The paper deals with the use of advanced avionics systems in basic flight training. From the point of view of aviation history, this issue is relatively new, because for many decades only aircraft with analog instruments have been used for training. From the content point of view, the paper can be divided into two significant parts. The first, theoretical part describes the knowledge of the issue. In 2019, two new Zlín Z-242 aircraft equipped with the Garmin G500 TXi glass cockpit were added to the fleet of the Air Training and Education Centre (LVVC). Therefore in the second, practical part we conducted a survey among instructors and students of LVVC on the issue discussed and their experience of training on this aircraft. In addition, we looked at how to effectively train pilots when using training aircraft with advanced avionics systems. Completion of the practical part of the paper was the creation of multimedia learning material, which should help novice pilots prepare for the use of basic features of Garmin G500 TXi and acquaint them with knowledge that will help especially the first flight hours to be more efficient as they begin the training on new aircraft more...

This chapter describes a training approach that applies empirically derived principles of training to re-imagining the overall design of NASA’s space flight training program. The chapter is focused specifically on the design of astronaut training for NASA’s future deep space, exploration missions to Mars. We briefly describe NASA’s space flight training practices during the Apollo and Space Shuttle eras as well as NASA’s current practices for training astronauts for their missions to the International Space Station. We provide an overview of NASA’s current concepts for a mission to Mars to scope our training approach. We envision a new space flight training approach which we term “crew-centered, mission oriented” training, inspired by the design approach offered in the context of airline pilot training by Barshi (2015). We apply some of the training principles reviewed by Kole and his colleagues in the companion volume (Kole, Healy, Schneider & Barshi, 2019), as well as by other researchers in training science (e.g., Ericsson, Krampe, & Tesch-Romer, 1993; Healy & Bourne, 2012; Salas, Wilson, Priest and Guthrie, 2006), into real-world, practical guidelines for the particular context of training astronauts for a mission to Mars.processes over very long retention intervals. more...

This study aimed to analyze aircraft ground operation processes from a human factors perspective with special emphases on the occurrence and influence of interruptions on pilots’ workload. Interruptions have been shown to increase workload and error probability as well as to contribute to fatal accidents in various fields. Countermeasures have been initiated especially in high-risk environments such as those involving medical issues. In aviation, more explicitly during turn-around processes, interruptions might occur frequently and impair flight safety. One hundred and sixty fully certified pilots working for a European airline were observed during their turn-around while performing real operations. Pilots’ interruptions were documented and classified in order to predict subjectively perceived workload by use of multiple linear regression analysis. External factors such as weather conditions, technical problems, and time pressure were considered as covariates. On average, a pilot experienced about eight interruptions during a turn-around. Overall workload estimates showed a level comparable to that of manual flying in a simulator. Interruptions from colleagues or from outside the cockpit were found to predict pilots’ workload; however, further external factors such as poor weather conditions impacted workload even more strongly. We suggest two approaches based on our results to handling the high rate of interruptions. We first recommend procedural changes to diminish the interruption rate; second, we recommend comprehensive, line-oriented flight training for airline and ground staff to raise awareness about the negative influence of interruptions. more...

The aim of this study was to analyze pilots’ visual scanning in a manual approach and landing scenario. Manual flying skills suffer from increasing use of automation. In addition, predominantly long-haul pilots with only a few opportunities to practice these skills experience this decline. Airline pilots representing different levels of practice (short-haul vs. long-haul) had to perform a manual raw data precision approach while their visual scanning was recorded by an eye-tracking device. The analysis of gaze patterns, which are based on predominant saccades, revealed one main group of saccades among long-haul pilots. In contrast, short-haul pilots showed more balanced scanning using two different groups of saccades. Short-haul pilots generally demonstrated better manual flight performance and within this group, one type of scan pattern was found to facilitate the manual landing task more. Long-haul pilots tend to utilize visual scanning behaviors that are inappropriate for the manual ILS landing task. This lack of skills needs to be addressed by providing specific training and more practice. more...

The remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), colloquially labeled the “drone,” has become iconic of American military campaigns during this century. However, with surging demand for RPA combat operations, the United States Air Force (USAF) has struggled to train and retain sufficient manpower to operate these aircraft. As part of a recent effort by the Secretary of Defense to stabilize manpower trends in the USAF RPA enterprise, we developed a dynamic manpower projection model to quantify the potential impact of more than 50 policy initiatives. Ultimately, the model showed that a combination of five major policy initiatives would most efficiently and expeditiously improve manpower trends. The Air Force has already begun to implement these initiatives as part of a plan that will affect over 1,100 active-duty airmen operating a multibillion-dollar enterprise. In this paper, we discuss the background and complexity of the RPA manpower problem, the metrics that we used to evaluate the manpower system, and the modeling techniques we employed to inform a comprehensive solution to mitigate this manpower shortfall. more...

This research aims at providing the Military Aviation School “ESMA-Cosme Renella Barbatto”, located in Salinas in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador, with an online teaching tool that helps to enhance the methodology applied in the subject of Aviation English (AE). The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which is the official organization in charge of Aviation English training programs, states that the structures taught in this English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses are based mostly on the communicative intention rather than grammatical rules. The ICAO also recognizes, in the document 9835, the use of computers as supporting tools during the learning process and suggests Blended Learning as an approach that optimizes the organization of face-to-face sessions when teaching Aviation English. To this end, a mixed-method research was selected to gather and process data that supports the need of implementing an online platform, the research tools were an interview to the teacher, who is also an Aviation Instructor from the ESMA Flight Training Department, and a survey to the 39 pilot cadets who will be part of the course. The results revealed a positive attitude towards the platform, it was considered by the participants to be a pedagogical “link” between technology and teaching methodology. more...

The evaluation of flight teaching quality management is not only for students, but also for teachers. Teachers use a teaching model in long-term teaching. This teaching model may be suitable for some students, but it may not be suitable for all students. Through the evaluation of the rationality of the content of the teacher’s explanation in the class, the time of the course, the enthusiasm of the students in the class, the mastery of the theoretical knowledge of the students after the class and the level of the students’ flying skills, teachers can clearly understand their own deficiencies in teaching Corrections in a targeted manner. During the flight, students often have negative psychology that is contrary to flight safety due to the long-term application of a single flight technology. The existence of this kind of psychology can easily bury hidden flight hazards and affect the flight effect of students in formal flight. Therefore, instructors should improve the level of professional skills of students, pay attention to cultivating rigorous flying style and use artificial intelligence technology to train strong professional skills and work hard. Improve the level of manipulation. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish the flying awareness of students “persist in being unsafe and not flying, if you want to fly, you must be safe”. more...

Today, the growth of aerospace industry has led to the development of modular overhead systems that can be applied to a wide variety of aircraft. It actually maximizes training effectiveness by working in a similar way as to the real aircraft maneuverability. Overhead system control device for aircraft simulator is developed as a module and integrated to the flight simulator. The developed system can replace the similar products imported from overseas at a much lower price, about one third of the imports, while maintaining the same level of functionality and the performance with the counterparts. This price advantage is the main motivation of this development, which is expected to enlarge the commercial training simulator market in our country. This development has been also funded by the government, and we invited several commercial airline pilots to test the equipment. The post operation interview revealed that the developed system at least matches or exceeds the performance of the imported products. With the development completed, it is ready for the commercial production and will help promote the expansion of flight training education at various aerospace universities in Korea. more...

usc Threat and Error Management (TEM) training, endorsed and recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), was mandated in Australia with the aim of improving aviation safety. However, to date, there has been very limited, if any, formal post-implementation review, assessment or evaluation to examine the ‘after-state’ in terms of the effectiveness of the introduction of TEM. This exploratory study, is a first step in examining how TEM is regarded among Australian general aviation pilots in terms of its use and effectiveness. Fifty-nine general aviation pilots participated in a survey. The survey results indicated a large decline in positive support for TEM compared with the findings of an earlier study. Other results from the current survey indicated a variable uptake of TEM principles and differing opinions as to its effectiveness, suggesting further study should be conducted in respect of TEM as an important safety initiative within Australian general aviation.

This study examines training pilot survey data in order to determine how students’ years of education and the institutions that they attend affect their perceptions of the risk factors in aviation as assessed using the SHELL model (software, hardware, environment, and liveware). The results reveal that student pilots lack confidence with respect to their knowledge during flights; moreover, they fail to recognize the importance of maintaining relationships among supporting staff such as air traffic controllers, mechanics, and others involved in the flight process. The findings suggest that to meet an increased demand for pilots, newly approved training centers are needed, centers which will foster awareness of interaction between human factors and other aspect of aviation safety; to support this, there should be more standardization of curricula. more...

Objective: This article examines the practical impacts of integrating simulation-based training into an ab initio pilot-training course.Background: As flight simulation technology has become more advanced, and the associated costs have been reduced, there has been a corresponding increase in the use of flight simulation during ab initio phases of pilot training. Subsequently, important questions have arisen regarding the utility of simulation-based training to develop students’ rudimentary piloting skills.Method: The progression of 29 students completing a course consisting of 25% simulation is compared to a baseline sample of 62 students (sourced from historical data) completing the same course prior to the integration of additional simulation-based training.Results: The integration of simulation was found to have 2 primary impacts. Although a small decrease in aircraft training hours was evident, there was also a significant increase in the overall training time once simulation-based training wa... more...

The main aim of this study is to draw a framework for analysing the serviceability status of the available aircraft for flight operations. The monthly serviceability condition of each training aircraft, consisting of TB-20, Cessna 172 SP, and C90 aircraft, in the FTO fleet over a period of two years are investigated in detail. According to the results of the paper, the serviceability conditions of TB-20, Cessna 172 SP, and C90 are observed to be 73.27%, 73.4%, and 75.75%, respectively. It is concluded that the primary reasons for the unserviceability status of the aircraft are identified to be various maintenance activities including propeller governor, flap track slot, parking brake, vibration problem in the engine. This work sets a framework for the organisations that continue to work in the world or for new organisations to be opened. more...

This case study analyzes the factors that influence trust and acceptance among users (in this case, test pilots) of the Air Force’s Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System. Our analyses revealed that test pilots’ trust depended on a number of factors, including the development of a nuisance-free algorithm, designing fly-up evasive maneuvers consistent with a pilot’s preferred behavior, and using training to assess, demonstrate, and verify the system’s reliability. These factors are consistent with the literature on trust in automation and could lead to best practices for automation design, testing, and acceptance. more...

Flights conditions of combat aircrafts subject to dynamic changes in variable environment, where properly trained and skilled pilots, capable of perceiving stimuli from outside, play key roles in the decision-making process. The study discloses analyses that have been completed on grounds of survey results carried out for a specific population of cadets and pilots that had practiced on flight simulators. The surveys consisted in measurements of the human response time to artificially arranged emergency circumstances with counting of misbehaviour and errors. Then, upon analysis of correlation between skill features demonstrated by pilot candidates (cadets) and trained pilots and with consideration to functions of probability distribution of these features it is possible to estimate expected results that should be achieved by cadets for specific exercises to assess the training system as efficient and suitable to provide intended results when real tasks are assigned to trainees flying eventual aircrafts. more...

This study proposes and evaluates a systemic method for ab initio pilot training for prediction and management of complex and dynamic flight situations. Complex flight scenarios were simulated for training in a network of flight simulators. The new training program was evaluated with forty student pilots assigned to an experimental and a control group in a pre- and post-test design. The results show that student pilots can learn complex multitasking skills from the very beginning of their flight instruction. Greater amount of training leads to better learning results. In addition, the multitasking skills could be transferred from simulated to real flight. more...

Abstract. Flight instructors are responsible for deciding when student pilots make their first solo flights. While these decisions are complex and challenging, little detailed guidance has been developed. This study aimed to articulate the elements of competence that experienced flight instructors focused on and assessed when making the decision to send student pilots on their first solo training flights. Participants were 30 Recreational Aviation Australia (RA-Aus) senior and chief flying instructors. A qualitative design was used to explore participants’ reflections on the elements of competency and behavioral markers they assess. The key themes identified from the thematic analyses fit well within the PAVE hazard checklist, which provides a framework for hazard awareness and management. The results of this study include a preliminary framework of specific competencies that flight instructors can assess as part of their decision making. Future research could lead to development of a checklist or scale that would further support flight instructors’ decision making. more...

Objective: To determine how flight examiners reason and which methods they use when assessing the competencies of pilots for continued accreditation purposes and type-rating training.Background: Early work on pilot performance assessment focused on measurement models, including the accuracy and reliability of the scores attributed to the human factors variables included. More recent studies investigated the nature of the evidence that flight examiners used. No previous studies were found on how flight examiners assess line pilots’ performance during flight training and examination.Method: This study employed methods typical for cognitive anthropology, combining ethnographic observations of debriefings and interviews, stimulated recall concerning debriefing, and modified think-aloud protocols of assessment of flight episodes. Twenty-three flight examiners from 5 regional airlines were observed and interviewed in 3 contexts.Results: The data revealed that flight examiners used the documentary method, where ... more...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study of how a virtual technology burden was created that impacted the professional pilot college student and various colleges/universities that offer professional pilot degree programs. A cascading set of events began as a result of US congressional reaction to a tragic airline accident. The resulting legislation forced the Federal Aviation Administration to publish new rules for first officer qualifications that were unmindful of the recommendations of professional pilot groups for simulation-based training. Ultimately, this placed a financial burden on both the college/university training curriculum and on the professional pilot student. Design/methodology/approach – This paper adopts a case study approach. Findings – Because of US congressional over-reaction, a collegiate system which produced excellent first officer candidates who had below 500 flight hours and who had been demonstrated scientifically to be efficient, skilled, and safe, was upended. The flight hour requirements were increased fivefold with little regard to its impact on the pilot pool. Congressional legislation forced the FAA to create and publish new rules that were unmindful of the simulation recommendations of professional pilot groups and required virtual simulation technology new to the college/university training environment. Originality/value – Traces the effect of government interference into a previously stable continuum of college-prepared airline pilots who are safe and effective. more...

Safety-related training policies restrict pilots from encountering challenging weather during flight training. This potentially inhibits the development of critical decision-making skills. To identify gaps in weather-related flight training, high-fidelity weather-simulation was developed to re-create historical weather events. Sixteen visual-only pilots and 16 instrument-rated pilots flew a simulated cross-country flight under visual flight rules in marginally visual weather that encountered instrument conditions. Procedural performance and experience-related demographic factors were analyzed to identify key flight skills and experience that contributed to safe weather-related decisions. Previous experience with actual instrument weather was found to be the only statistically significant demographic predictor of safe performance. Pilots who performed more safely were more likely to use in-cockpit weather information during the flight to detect and avoid instrument weather. Implications of this study and o... more...

Recently, the need of RPA(Remotely Piloted Aircraft) pilots is increasing rapidly with many requirements in order to be a beginner RPA pilot, including basic flight training, instrument flight qualification training, and aircraft type switching training. When RPA pilot gets disqualified, there will be generated much waste of efforts and expenses of trainees those pilots who are disqualified. Therefore, the methodology of pre-verifying those pilots who are not proper as RPA pilots through various scientific methods will save time and expenses with pre-reducing the pilots who will get disqualified later on. The methodology of aptitude test of RPA pilots is laid out as a consideration of pre-study of RPA pilots work analysis, and select types of aptitude test. A suitability of aptitude test is verified. In order to diagnose the flight aptitude precisely, it requires to be developed. Flight aptitude test tools might be connected with training program which could foster piloting aptitude with pre-diagnosing RPA pilot trainee selecting process. For that reason, we made an experiment in order to verify credibility and suitability of these selected programs with developing RPA pilot aptitude test tools. And also, we analyzed relationships among characteristics, analysis of data, and variables to verify the efficiency of data from prior experiment. Through this thesis, we expect to raise efficiency of flight training by providing pre-flight aptitude test information of RPA pilots. more...

This paper presents an optimization approach to identify aircraft dispatching strategy at a flight training school. The strategy adopted by the school was to dispatch the aircraft which is closest to its scheduled maintenance. This strategy was examined and compared with other potential dispatching strategies. The paper presents a mixed integer linear programming model to identify the strategy that minimizes the total cost of scheduled maintenance. The analysis shows that the optimization approach can save 2%–5% on annual maintenance cost compared with other strategies. The model can equally be applied to rental cars or trucking companies. more...

Interest in personal aerial vehicles (PAVs) is resurgent with several flying prototypes made possible through advances in the relevant technologies. Whilst the perceived wisdom is that these vehicles will be highly automated or autonomous, the current regulatory framework assumes that a human will always be able to intervene in the operation of the flight. This raises the possibility of manually operated PAVs and the requirement for an occupant flying training programme. This paper describes the development of training requirements for PAV pilots. The work includes a training needs analysis (TNA) for a typical PAV flight. It then describes the development of a training programme to develop the skills identified by the TNA. Five participants with no real flying experience, but varying levels of driving experience, undertook the training programme. Four completed the programme through to a successful simulation flight test of a commuter flight scenario. These participants evaluated the effectiveness of the training programme using the first three Levels of Kirkpatrick’s method. The evaluation showed that the developed training programme was effective, in terms of both trainee engagement and development of the handling skills necessary to fly PAV mission-related tasks in a flight simulator. The time required for the four successful participants to develop their core flying skills was less than 5 h. This duration indicates that future simulation PAV training would be commensurate with the training duration for current personal transportation modes. more...

We conducted an unusual attitude recovery flight test in an instrumented L-29 fighter jet trainer owned by the Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) using commercial airline first-officer participants who had not yet achieved the rank of captain on any aircraft, who had no military flight training background, and who have not had any acrobatic training in the flight background. Two test spirals were conducted with 15 participants serving in Spiral 1 and 12 participants serving in Spiral 2. Spiral 1 was a screening study and is not discussed in this paper. We investigated if Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) could enhance the pilot's ability to recognize and recover from unusual attitude (uA) conditions compared to present-day Electronic Flight Information Systems (EFIS). Additionally, we investigated the effect of display field of view (FOV, 12 degrees and 30 degrees) and if recoveries with SVS over open water caused any problems in the recognition of the aircraft attitude. The evaluation pilot (EP) participants were seated in the rear crew station of the L-29 which had electronic displays that showed the test symbology. The canopy had a view limiting device which eliminated any and all view to the outside world. Carefully designed unusual attitude entry conditions were developed for this flight test and administered by the safety pilot (SP) while the EP had their eyes closed and their hands on their laps. On the command of the SP, the EPs opened their eyes and recovered from the unusual attitude (90 degrees angle of bank, 40 degrees nose low). The results indicate that the response time (time from opening the eyes to making first input) were statistically significantly (F 1,104=4.14, p=0.044) longer in the SVS display condition when the wide FOV was used. We determined that some of the lake features on SVS caused confusion with the sky, thus resulting in longer response times. However, while the response times were longer with the wide FOV SVS, the recovery times were statistically significantly shorter (F 1,105=4.06, p=0.046) and the SVS-Wide display condition overall produced less altitude loss (2,531 ft) when compared to all other conditions on average (2,722 ft). This flight test investigated many aspects of recovery with standard EFIS and SVS in real flight conditions using an acrobatic capable aircraft and significant unusual attitude entry conditions. Recommendations are made with regard to managing the depiction of water features on SVS. Flight technically, recoveries were better with wide FOV SVS than with narrow FOV SVS or standard EFIS. Subjectively, EPs clearly preferred the wide FOV SVS. more...

Due to the rapid growth of domestic and overseas airline markets, the demand for airline pilots has also been growing fast. Meeting such a market needs, central government, Ministry of Land and Transportation has set up civil airline pilot training center at Ulgin airport to train and provide the market with commercial airline pilots. Not only central government but universities in Korea also have tried to train pilots by operating flight training academies. Even though there are more than a dozen of flight training centers including colleges and private academies, there have been less efforts to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the flight training school`s curriculums compared to other scholar majors in a university. Therefore this paper tried to evaluate the educational effectiveness of the curriculums using the Kirk-Patrick measurement model, which has been regarded as one of the most popular and accurate measurement tool for an empirical research in social science. According to the empirical research, it was found out the inter-personal relationship between an instructor pilot and flight trainee was perceived as the most important factor to have an impact on learning abilities and student`s behaviors. more...
