Safety Return on Investment (ROI): The Broader Adoption of Rotorcraft CFIT-Avoidance Technology
… available controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) avoidance technology more broadly. Previous research explored the costs and benefits of different safety initiatives but did not evaluate from an operators’ perspective. For the operators, a private ROI that excludes societal costs and …

Benefit analysis and feasibility of ground collision avoidance systems on United States Air Force aircraft
… mishaps - Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) mishaps. The thesis presents data on CFIT mishaps, causes, and efforts to reduce CFIT mishaps through the development and adoption of Ground Collision Avoidance Systems (GCAS) or similar designs - Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS). GPWS …

The Effect of Display Design on Pilot Performance in Controlled Flight into Terrain Scenarios
… problem of Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accidents. One such technology, the Synthetic Vision System, seems to hold the solution. While it is readily adapted to the commercial aviation instrument environment, it may not be intuitive enough for the General Aviation private pilot with …

Integration of transport systems in the UK: fact, fiction or fantasy?
… there is a Commission for Integrated Transport (CfIT:2006) which was set up in 1998 by the Government to assist in developing its transport policy including pursuing a sustainable transport agenda. It is an independent body which takes a broad view of integrated transport policy and its interface …

Computational Prediction of Stall Aerodynamics and Evaluation of Ground Effect for a Generic Transport Aircraft
… Con-trolled Flight into or Toward Terrain (CFIT), and Runway Excursion (RE). The major contribution to Flight fatalities is related to LOC-I situations when pilots are unable to handle control of an aircraft during an onset of aerodynamic stall at high angles of attack provoking almost …

Measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ and development of a novel, combined GGSZ analysis of $B \rightarrow D^{(*)} h^{(*)}$ decays at LHCb
The angle $\gamma$ is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, within which it quantifies the degree to which CP violation is permitted. It is presently one of the least well-constrained parameters of the CKM sector, which embodies the description of quark interactions. This thesis details …
