The Effect of Display Design on Pilot Performance in Controlled Flight into Terrain Scenarios
… developed to prevent the continuing 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 …

The Effects of Aircraft Certification Rules on General Aviation Accidents
… were those classified as: Loss of Control, Controlled Flight into Terrain, Engine Failure, and Structural Failure.</p> <p>Airworthiness certification categories represent a wide diversity of government oversight. Part 23 rules have evolved from the initial set of simpler design standards and …

Benefit analysis and feasibility of ground collision avoidance systems on United States Air Force aircraft
… a specific type of USAF 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 …

The Effects of Operator Trust, Complacency Potential, and Task Complexity on Monitoring a Highly Reliable Automated System
… display for failures while operating a manually controlled flight task. In addition, the second experiment assessed the ability of operators to detect a single automation failure over three experimental sessions. Results indicated that realistic levels of system reliability severely impaired an …

Agile flight control techniques for a fixed-wing aircraft
… mission objectives, the need for agility controlled flight becomes more of a necessity. The ability to navigate through constrained environments as well as quickly maneuver to each mission target is essential. Currently, individual vehicles are developed with a particular mission …

Divergence between the human state assumption and the actual aircraft system state
… in other automation systems that resulted in controlled flight into terrain. The industry implications of the findings of the case studies were then discussed.

Safety Return on Investment (ROI): The Broader Adoption of Rotorcraft CFIT-Avoidance Technology
… if operators were to adopt the readily 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 …
