Incorporation of Traffic Collision Alert System (TCAS) Advisories on Heads-up Displays: Enhanced Pilot Response
… that heads-up mounted TCAS displays had on pilot response and workload. Pilot response was evaluated by: (a) response time to a traffic advisory, and (b) number of missed traffic alerts. Workload assessment was accomplished in accordance with NASA's Task Load Index (TLX). Subjects were all …

Design of aircraft noise abatement approach procedures for near-term implementation
… on aircraft performance of uncertainties in pilot response, weather, and other system components. The second is to enhance the ability of air traffic controllers to separate aircraft that are decelerating at different rates. The work in this thesis primarily addresses the first challenge by …

System analysis using automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ABS-B) for closely spaced parallel approaches
… (NAS) is undergoing evolutionary changes in response to growing air traffic demands and aging equipment. In 1981 the Federal Aviation Administration initiated a modernization program to modernize, automate, and consolidate the existing ATC system by the year 2000. This effort is ongoing and …

Contributions to Ship-Airwake-Rotor Coupling Characterization Using Controlled Forcing
… ship airwake, rotor wake, flight dynamics, and pilot response. A central aspect of the DI is the aerodynamic interaction between the ship airwake and the rotor wake, which degrades handling qualities and increases pilot workload, yet the underlying mechanisms governing ship-rotor coupling remain …

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 …

An Alternative Method of Identification of a Failed Engine in Twin-Engine Propeller Aircraft
… accidents of this type happened on takeoff when pilot workload was at its highest level. This thesis consists of two research studies. For Research Study 1, a survey was created to gather opinions of airline pilots who operate twin-engine turboprop aircraft. Twenty-nine percent of respondents to …

Evaluating the depiction of complex RNAV/RNP procedures and analyzing a potential de-cluttering technique
… Palm Springs airports. During the experiment, pilots were shown the same procedure in Current and Modified chart formats. All charts were displayed electronically on a high-resolution computer monitor. Pilots were asked information retrieval questions associated with each chart. Pilot response …
