An Aviation Weather Preflight Decision Support Tool to Improve GA Pilots' Preflight and Inflight Performance
… in fatalities. Previous research identifies poor preflight planning practices and a lack of aviation weather knowledge as key contributing factors to the high novice private pilot accident and fatality rate. Research invested into resolving these issues often attempt to introduce new inflight …

A Mixed Method Approach to Collegiate Aviation Risk Assessment for Dual Cross-Country Flights at the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences
… of this study was to create a more accurate preflight risk assessment form to evaluate the potential risks that could occur on a cross-country training flight and to determine the effectiveness compared to the previous version. Another reason for this particular study was to examine the …

Energy management of three-dimensional minimum-time intercept
… of the feedback laws requires a substantial preflight computational effort, but the computation times for on-board execution of the feedback laws are very modest. Other issues relating to practical implementation are addressed as well. Numerical examples, comparing open-loop optimal and …

Systems Theoretic Process Analysis as a Practical Tool for Comprehensive Flight Test Hazard Identification
… or disciplines. Safety reviews and preflight briefings based on THA become lengthy and disjoint, as well as potentially incomplete. Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a forward-looking safety analysis methodology grounded in systems theory. Based in the System-Theoretic …
