Naturalistic Study Examining the Data/Frame Model of Sensemaking by Assessing Experts in Complex, Time-Pressured Aviation Domains
… the pilot is physically removed. The military aviation domain may be similar to studied domains that some decisions need to be made rapidly, and situations can change rapidly; nevertheless, as a new domain to the model, offers the potential to reveal new insights. Based on this research, …

The Effects of an Induced Negative Mood State on Ground- Based Learning in Student Pilots
… Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration's <em>Aviation Instructors Handbook </em>(D.O.T.) (1999) emphasizes that aviation students must maintain a healthy and positive state of mind in order to succeed at learning. Factors such as worry, lack of interest, physical …

An Error-Dependent Model of Instrument-Scanning Behavior in Commercial Airline Pilots
<p>Since the work of Fitts and his colleagues, researchers have been using eye-movement data to evaluate various aspects of pilot instrument scanning behavior. Although Senders' work indicated that link values and transitional probabilities could be accurately predicted using a random sampling …

Behavioral Traps in Flight Crew-Related 14 CFR Part 121 Airline Accidents
<p>This dissertation 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 …

An Evaluation of RTA Symbols to Improve Pilot Situation Awareness
<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate different types of temporal guidance symbol sets in 4]Dimensional displays. Different displays were evaluated using situation awareness (SA) as a dependent measure. Participants were a mixture of non]pilots and pilots with an average flight time of 155 …

Human Behavior During Spaceflight: Evidence from an Analog Environment
<p>Spaceflight offers a multitude of stressors to humans living and working in space, originating from the external space environment and the life-support system. Future space participants may be ordinary people with different medical and psychosocial backgrounds who may not receive the intense …

The Effect of Control and Display Lag on UAS Internal Pilot Manual Landing Performance
<p>An important characteristic of UASs is lag because it can become a considerable challenge to successful human-in-the-loop control. As such, UASs are designed and configured to minimize system lag, though this can increase acquisition and operation costs considerably. In an effort to cut costs, …

Psychological Health Outcomes Within USAF Remotely Piloted Aircraft Support Career Fields
<p>Remotely piloted aircraft are now commonplace in modern warfare. Enlisted intelligence personnel in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) who support these activities have reported personal accounts of posttraumatic stress and fatigue, possibly due to viewing high-definition, full-motion-video, remote …

A Comparative Study of Novice vs. Experienced Pilots Utilizing Cockpit Models Applied to the Multi Function Display System
<p>Based on previous research findings in the expert/novice area, this thesis suggests that how people approach and solve problems largely depend on their experience level. The literature supports that experts tend to prioritize their actions differently than their novice counterparts as they …
