Flight Instructor Socio-Communicative Orientation and Perceptions of Cockpit Assertiveness
… Besco’s (1995, 1999) PACE framework of assertive cockpit communication. Relationships between flight instructor experience and perceptions of assertive cockpit were also explored. In addition, open-ended questions were asked to gather data about flight instructors’ perceptions of communication and …

Reduction of Helmet Buffeting in Open Cockpit, Single Seat Race Cars
<p>At speeds approaching 240 mph, drivers of open cockpit race cars frequently experience large aerodynamic forces which act on the helmet. These forces, specifically the aerodynamic buffeting of the helmet, reach levels which are very fatiguing and distracting to the driver, and are therefore …

The Use of Expert Pilot Performance Models to Facilitate Cockpit Visual Scan Training
In Experiment II, we therefore examined a range of ADI PTT training regimes that explicitly varied the extent to which this training is dynamic, and also which explicitly considered the training of pursuit movements. An additional feature of Experiment II, missing from Experiment I, was a …
