Effects of Gamification on Knowledge Acquisition: Aviation Weather Online Training
… online training program). Studies indicate that aviation weather training for general aviation pilots is underdeveloped, particularly for NEXRAD. In considering the competitive/ goal-oriented nature of pilots, gamification elements such as Achievements and Stories could best motivate …

Integrated Modeling of Air Traffic, Aviation Weather, and Communication Systems
Aviation suffers many delays due to the lack of timely air traffic flow management. These delays are also caused by the uncertainty weather information; and the lack of efficient dissemination of weather products to pilots. It is clear that better models are needed to quantify air traffic flow in …

An Aviation Weather Preflight Decision Support Tool to Improve GA Pilots' Preflight and Inflight Performance
<p>Low hour, inexperienced General Aviation (GA) pilots account for the majority of weather-related incidents, which often result in fatalities. Previous research identifies poor preflight planning practices and a lack of aviation weather knowledge as key contributing factors to the high novice …

Forecast Verification of the Current Icing Potential (CIP) to Predict Lightning Hazards at U.S. Spaceports
… at commercial spaceports. Therefore, the Federal Aviation Administration identified the need for diagnosing the threat of triggered lightning without in-situ measurements. Anecdotal observations of the Aviation Weather Center’s Current Icing Potential (CIP) diagnostic model indicated a potentially …

Predicting General Aviation Pilots’ Weather-related Performance through a Scenario-based Written Assessment
<p>Weather-related accidents continue to challenge the general aviation community and with the development of advanced weather technology, GA pilots need additional education and training on how to effectively use these weather products to ensure flight safety. Currently, the literature on aviation …

Visualisation of Spatio-Temporal Information on the Flight Deck
… when pilots use state-of-the-art commercial weather visualisations. The findings of the systematic literature survey demonstrate the challenge cartographers face when required to design a map for aviators: The users desire as much information as possible, however, research findings …

Human-centered systems analysis of aircraft separation from adverse weather
Adverse weather significantly impacts the safety and efficiency of flight operations. Weather information plays a key role in mitigating the impact of adverse weather on flight operations by supporting air transportation decision-makers' awareness of operational and mission risks. The emergence of …

Dynamic prediction of terminal-area severe convective weather penetration
… to improve the safety of air travel, numerous aviation accidents still occur every year. According to a recent report by the FAA's Aviation Weather Research Program, over 23% of these accidents are weather-related, typically taking place during the takeoff and landing phases. When pilots fly …

Optimization of airport terminal-area air traffic operations under uncertain weather conditions
Convective weather is responsible for large delays and widespread disruptions in the U.S. National Airspace System, especially during summer. Although Air Traffic Flow Management algorithms exist to schedule and route traffic in the face of disruptions, they require reliable forecasts of airspace …
