Aircrew Adaptive Decision Making: A Cross-Case Analysis
… The purpose of this research was to investigate aircrew process performance variables as predictors of decision-making outcomes. This study was modeled on elements of previous research in naturalistic decision making. Data were collected for cross-case analysis of the role experience plays in …

A historical perspective of aircrew systems effects on aircraft design
The design of the aircrew workstation often has not been an orderly part of the overall aircraft design process but rather of much lower priority than the integration of the airframe and powerplant. However, the true test of the aircraft is how well the aircrew can use the aircraft for mission …

Combat stress reaction and morale in RFC/RAF aircrew 1914-1918
… of aircraft or the skill and daring of the aircrew concerned. The effects of the dangers of flying and air combat, which tested aircrew to their limits both physical and mental with consequent psychological disorders have been ignored. This study examined and analysed the operations of the …

Effects of Online Training on Aircrew Monitoring Behaviors: A Field Study
<p>Data from aircraft accidents and line observation studies indicate that inadequate pilot monitoring is a growing safety concern. In the cockpit environment, pilots who fail to properly manage their workload commit more monitoring errors. Given the lack of training and educational programs …

Factors Which Decrease the Search Time of an Aircraft Crash
… to determine what procedures a general aviation aircrew can perform during the course of flight to minimize the search time required to locate the aircraft's crash site in the event of aerial disaster. This study will also serve to quantify the extent each procedure can reduce the overall search …

An Archival Analysis of Stall Warning System Effectiveness During Airborne Icing Encounters
… influence of stall warning system performance on aircrew decision-making outcomes during airborne icing encounters. A Conservative Icing Response Bias (CIRB) model was developed to explain the historical variability in aircrew performance in the face of airframe icing. The model combined Bayes’ …

The prevalence of occupational health problems in-flight crews (pilots and flight attendants: A systematic review and meta-analysis
… Researchers have become increasingly aware that aircrew members (ACMs) are at high risk for several diseases when compared to the general population. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of occupational health problems in aircrew members (pilots and flight …

Evaluation of workload estimation techniques in simulated piloting tasks emphasizing mediational activity
Pilots and other aircrew members are often required to perform tasks involving a substantial amount of mediational or cognitive activity. Generally speaking, workload estimation techniques have not been tested to determine their relative sensitivity and intrusion to mediational piloting tasks. An …
