Flight deck engineering: impact of flight deck crew alerting and information systems on English as a second language flight crewmembers performance in airline flight operations
There are many pieces of flight deck research on general use of written English language technical information and problem solving using technical documentation. Contributory causes of aircraft accidents have been due to misunderstandings of crew alerts and procedural divergence by English …

Active and Passive Flow Control over the Flight Deck of Small Naval Vessels
… large mean velocity gradients, the envelope for flight operations is limited. This experimental investigation uses a 1:144 scale model of the U.S. Navy destroyer DDG-81 to explore the problem. Both active and passive flow control techniques were used to improve the flow field in the helicopter's …

Information Behavior in Aviation: Distributed Practice on the Flightdeck
… understanding human information behavior on the flight deck. This study discerns that high performing flight crews practice different information behaviors than low performing or accident involved flight crews. Principles from information science, psychology, and communication studies are used to …
