Evaluating Flight Crew Decision-Making Through Part 121 Taxi Operations
… Now, anyone can access previously hard-to-obtain flight data for analysis using a commercially available database. While ADS-B provides information on “what is happening,” information on “why” flight crews operate aircraft in a certain way is not incorporated into ADS-B.</p> <p>The National …

Behavioral Traps in Flight Crew-Related 14 CFR Part 121 Airline Accidents
… examined pilot behavioral traps in the multi-crew Part 121 air carrier environment. Behavioral traps are accident-inducing operational pitfalls aviators may encounter as a result of poor decision making. The traps studied were: Loss of Situational Awareness; Neglect of Flight Planning, …

Preliminary development and flight trials of a cruise altitude and speed optimization decision support tool
… cost altitude tunnel, was developed to aid flight crew and dispatcher situational awareness and decision-making in vertical trajectory planning in order to reduce fuel and time costs. As the optimal altitude for an aircraft changes with speed, weight, outside air temperature, and winds, …

Flight-Deck Automation: The Attitudes and Perceptions of Selected Boeing 757/767 Air Carrier Pilots
… role. Investigating the interaction of cockpit crew members and the vast array of automated systems they control and monitor will contribute to the determination the effect this interface has on the performance of the cockpit team. This study utilized a questionnaire to determine if the opinions …

Fatigue: Investigation of a Human Factor for Regional Airline Pilots
… revealed many causes of pilot fatigue, including flight crew schedules that are not compatible with human limitations; Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) that have not evolved with the advancement of aircraft performance and the public demand for 24 hour availability of flights; and poor personal …

Dysmenorrhea: An aeromedical clinical practice guideline
… the physiological and operational aspects of the flight environment. Dysmenorrhea can have a significant impact on United States civil and military flight crews. A standardized aeromedical guideline can benefit flight crew members as well as the aeromedial community who cares for them.

Flight performance testing of ethanol/100LL fuel blends during cruise flight.
… O-235 airframe/power plant combination. Flight performance data was collected with an engine data monitor (EDM) augmented by flight crew observations. Results indicate linear-like trends in temperature correlation through a set of pre-determined fuel blends. Engine performance limits were …

Information Behavior in Aviation: Distributed Practice on the Flightdeck
… understanding human information behavior on the flight deck. This study discerns that high performing flight crews practice different information behaviors than low performing or accident involved flight crews. Principles from information science, psychology, and communication studies are used to …

Learning-based Scheduling
… reinforcement learning (RL) to the Air Force crew-scheduling problem and compare it against IP formulations which explicitly optimize for minimization of overqualification and maximization of training requirements completed. We show that the RL agent is equally effective as its IP counterpart …

Effects of Fatigue and Self-reported Countermeasures Used by Regional Airline Pilots Conducting Continuous Duty Overnight
… is available pertaining to one specific type of flight operation, the Continuous Duty Overnight (CDO). They are frequently conducted by regional airlines within the United States and typically resemble schedules for workers on a 3rd shift, otherwise known as the night shift. This study utilized …

System architecture for single-pilot aircraft in commercial air transport operations
Commercial flight operations have seen the consistent reduction of flight crew from five to two over the past several decades. As technology improves and airplanes become increasingly capable of flying themselves, this trend of crew reduction can be expected to continue. Single pilot operations in …

Identification of Factors Associated with Fume Events Using Text Mining and Data Mining Methods
<p>Pilots, flight attendants, and passengers can be exposed to toxic compounds when the bleed air that supplies the cabin and flight deck is contaminated with pyrolyzed hydraulic fluid or oil from turbine jet engines. These fume events occur sporadically and can result in acute or chronic exposure …

Examining Unstable Approach Predictors Using Flight Data Monitoring Information
<p>The approach and landing phase of flight is statistically the most dangerous part of flying. While it only accounts for 4% of flight time, it represents 49% of commercial jet mishaps. One key to mitigating the risks involved in this flight segment is the stabilized approach. A stabilized …

Ultra-Long-Haul Commercial Operations: An Assessment of Current Health and Safety Standards
… commercial airlines have invested extensively in-flight crew operational research and aircraft system development in preparation for ULH flights. Conversely, the progress on health and safety and its impact and standards has received limited attention in the industry. Though stringent medical …

Examining the Influence of Safety Management in the Personal Spaceflight Industry
Suborbital flights will soon take flight as a viable commercial operation. Operators such as Virgin Galactic, along with their designer Scaled Composites, will be responsible for safety of the flight crew, Spaceflight Participants and indeed the uninvolved public beneath their flight trajectories. …

Pilot Acceptance of Personal, Wearable Fatigue Monitoring Technology: An Application of the Extended Technology Acceptance Model
… Code of Federal Regulations 14 CFR Part 117, Flight and Duty Limitations and Rest Requirements for Flight Crew Members, does not provide a tangible means of measuring fatigue for aircraft crew members. This problem is relevant to the airline industry and the travelling public because pilot …

Effectiveness of adaptive flight planning in the occurrence of total loss of thrust due to bird strike
… This dissertation hypothesizes that “an adaptive flight planner can significantly increase the odds of safe landing in the occurrence of total loss of thrust”. The objective is to test the research hypothesis through a designed experiment. To construct the experimental conditions, the FAA Wildlife …
