The privatisation of pilotage services: a panacea for South Africa’s pilotage ills?
… of a deemed servant-master relationship, between pilot and ship-owner or master through section 76 (2) of the National Ports Act (hereafter the NPA); accurately reflect the de facto relationship in which the parties stand? Can the provision's importation of the doctrine of vicarious liability and …

Effect of Intruder Vertical Rate on Pilot Perception of Separation on a Cockpit Traffic Display
… the effect of intruder vertical rate on pilots’ perception of aircraft separation as viewed on a cockpit traffic display. A group of 20 student pilots from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University participated as subjects. SuperCard® software and a Macintosh II® personal computer were …

"COMPULSORY PILOTAGE" a system in need of reform
… the Sea Empress earlier in 1996, for which pilot error was blamed, has again revived the debate about the liability of pilots performing a pilotage act under compulsory pilotage 1. The independent tanker owner's association, based in Oslo representing the interests of tanker and shipowners …

An investigation of stereopsis with AN/AVS-6 night vision goggles at varying levels of illuminance and contrast
… data have indicated an increased occurrence of "pilot error" type accidents when NVGs are in use. NVG related accidents often can be linked to extremely poor ambient lighting and contrast conditions during nighttime operations as well as the imaging limitations of the NVGs. Research has shown …

Investigation and Evaluation of a Computer Program to Minimize VFR Flight Planning Errors
… aided flight planning on flight planning errors. Subjects were selected from the introductory flight courses at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. After the subjects completed a conventional VFR navigation log, they were asked to plan the return trip of the flight using a computer aided …

Online Pilot Model Parameter Estimation for Loss-of-Control Prevention in Aircraft Systems
<p>A pilot is a highly nonlinear and incredibly complex controller whose responses are difficult to predict. Many accidents have occurred from pilot error before or after failures and almost always after entering areas of the flight envelope considered as Loss-of-Control regimes. If a pilot's …

Physics-Informed Deep Learning for Pilot Parameter Estimation and Pilot-Induced Oscillation Characterization
… contributors tackled in this research are human pilot error and categories of pilot-induced-oscillations. The primary objective is to develop models that can capture the mathematical parameters that relate to human pilot control under the widely used McRuer Mathematical pilot model. The goal is …

Descriptive epidemiology of 2007 homebuilt aircraft accidents and accident and fatality rates
… aircraft rates. Human and mechanical errors were implicated in homebuilt accidents similar to non-homebuilt general aviation accidents. Homebuilt accident rates per 100,000 flight hours are significantly higher than non-homebuilt accident rates (26.44 +3.36 vs. 4.89 + 0.29, p<0.001) …
