Block 1 Procedure Recommendations for Logan Airport Community Noise Reduction
(2018-03-07)Recent developments in navigation and surveillance technology have enabled new high-precision approach and departure operational procedures using GPS and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) standards. These procedures ... -
The Causes and Consequences of Divergence Between the Air Traffic Controller State Awareness and Actual System State
(2017-10-18)Divergence is an inconsistency between the human’s system state awareness and the actual system state. This research investigated divergence potential in air traffic controllers and identified controller divergence causes ... -
Cockpit Weather Information System Requirements for Flight Operations in Icing Conditions
(International Center for Air Transportation, 2000-02)In order to support the development of remote sensing technologies, the requirements of cockpit information systems for flight operations in icing conditions were investigated. Pilot information needs were investigated ... -
Cognitive and Operational Implications of Non-Homogeneous
(2007-09)The air traffic management system is currently experiencing a significant transformation to provide better quality service and to match the increasing air traffic demand. This transformation requires airlines to retrofit ... -
Cognitive Issues Related to Advanced Cockpit Displays: Supporting the Transition Between
(MIT International Center for Air Transportation, 2003-06)A critical issue in military aviation is the pilot’s ability to transition between primarily internal (head-down, instrument-driven) and external (head-up, out of the cockpit) guidance. Experimental cockpit displays were ... -
Comparison of Methods for Evaluating Impacts of Aviation Noise on Communities
(2017-07-20)Community opposition to the noise concentration from precise NextGen Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) aircraft arrival and departure procedures poses a significant threat to the future of these procedures in the U.S. ... -
A Conceptual Design of A Departure Planner Decision Aid
(2000-06)Terminal area Air Traffic Management handles both arriving and departing traffic. To date, research work on terminal area operations has focused primarily on the arrival flow and typically departures are taken into account ... -
Conformance Monitoring Approaches in Current and Future Air Traffic Control Environments
(2002-10)Conformance monitoring is a core task in Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations to determine whether aircraft are adhering to assigned trajectories. This is important for many reasons, including to ensure that tactical ... -
Constraint Identification In On-Demand Mobility For Aviation Through An Exploratory Case Study Of Los Angeles
(2018-05-11)On-Demand Mobility (ODM) for Aviation is an emerging concept that proposes to provide aircraft-based, point-to-point transportation to consumers within a metropolitan area. This paper explicitly identified key operational ... -
Crisis Events as a Catalyst for Change in the US Air Transportation
(2007-07)Historically, aircraft accidents have preceded the implementation of many changes in the US Air Transportation System. These accidents act as catalytic events which generate awareness of a problem and pressure for change ... -
Current and Historical Trends in General Aviation in the United States
(2012-08-28)General aviation (GA) is an important component of aviation in the United States. In 2011, general aviation and air taxi operations represented 63% of all towered opera- tions in the United States, while commercial ... -
Current Issues in the Design and Information Content of Instrument Approach Charts
(2012-03-23)The 1985 FAA Human Factors Research Plan identified chart design as one of the cockpit-related human performance problem areas which should be addressed through human factors research. Instrument Approach Charts, also ... -
Data-Driven Flight Procedure Simulation and Noise Analysis in a Large-Scale Air Transportation System
(2018-07-03)Aircraft noise is a growing source of community concern around airports. Despite the introduction of quieter aircraft, increased precision of onboard guidance systems has resulted in new noise impacts driven by overflight ... -
Data-Driven Modeling of Air Traffic Flows for Advanced Air Traffic Management
(2019-04-26)The Air Traffic Management (ATM) system enables air transportation by ensuring a safe and orderly air traffic flow. As the air transport demand has grown, ATM has become increasingly challenging, resulting in high levels ... -
Demonstration of Reduced Airport Congestion Through Pushback Rate Control
(2011-02-02)Airport surface congestion results in significant increases in taxi times, fuel burn and emissions at major airports. This paper presents the field tests of a control strategy to airport congestion control at Boston Logan ... -
