UNEXPECTED TRANSITION FROM VFR TO IMC: AN EXAMINATION OF TRAINING PROTOCOLS TO MITIGATE PILOT GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE AND PERFORMANCE
… identified as Visual Flight Rules (VFR) into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). These accidents have a nearly 90% fatality rate and hundreds of people have been fatally injured (ASI, 2014a). The general aviation community, including the Federal Aviation Administration, has called for …

Assessing If Motivation Impacts General Aviation Pilots’ Persistence in Varying Weather Conditions
… flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions is the predominant cause for fatal accidents by percentage, for general aviation aircraft operations. It is possible that a pilot’s motivation or reason for flying will override other safer, more logical courses …

System analysis using automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ABS-B) for closely spaced parallel approaches
… to increase capacity. During visual flight conditions parallel runways operate independently at maximum capacity. During non-visual meteorological conditions operating procedures are modified to assure safe operations. Capacity reductions of 50% may occur depending on the runway spacing. New …

An Aviation Weather Preflight Decision Support Tool to Improve GA Pilots' Preflight and Inflight Performance
… navigate closer to degraded weather conditions (Beringer & Ball, 2004; Burgess & Thomas, 2004). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a performance support tool for weather preflight (PWDST) on pilots’ preflight performance and inflight performance. …

Crisp and Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory and Pilot Weather Judgment: Implications for VFR Flights Into IMC
… to visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). The situation assessment hypothesis suggests that pilots may inadvertently enter IMC because they lack the sensitivity needed to distinguish between visual meteorological conditions (VMC) and IMC. An …

The influence of runway occupancy time and wake vortex separation requirements on runway throughput
… and wake vortex separation, and under what conditions each becomes a constraint to runway capacity. A detailed analysis of runway occupancy time measurements and wake vortex separation measurements is performed for Boston, Philadelphia, New York La Guardia, and Newark airports based on …

The Effects of Aircraft Certification Rules on General Aviation Accidents
… of words associated with visual flight into instrument meteorological conditions. Civil Air Regulations 3 airplanes were designed and manufactured prior to the 1960s and in most cases have not been retrofitted to take advantage of newer technologies that could help prevent Loss of Control …
