Human Factors Flight Testing of an ADS-B Based Traffic Alerting System for General Aviation
(2013-08-06)
Mid-air collisions are a concern for general aviation. Current traffic alerting systems
have limited usability in the airport environment where a majority of mid-air
collisions occur. A Traffic Situation Awareness with ...
Experimental Evaluation Of Portable Electronic Flight Progress Strips
(2004-10)
Air traffic service providers are increasingly
embracing electronic alternatives to the traditional
paper Flight Progress Strip (FPS). However, most
development of such electronic systems, and of
Decision Support Tools ...
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 ...
Experimental Study of Vertical Flight Path Mode Awareness
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1995-03)
An experimental simulator study was run to test pilot detection of an error in autopilot mode selection. Active airline air crew were asked to fly landing approaches by commanding the Flight Path Angle mode while monitoring ...
Generalized Philosophy of Alerting with Applications for Parallel Approach Collision Prevention
(2000-08)
An alerting system is automation designed to reduce the likelihood of undesirable
outcomes that are due to rare failures in a human-controlled system. It accomplishes this
by monitoring the system, and issuing warning ...
The Effect Of Options On Pilot Decision Making In The Presence Of Risk
(International Center for Air Transportation, 97-10)
An Option-Based Decision Framework is developed. This Framework may be applied to decisions that must be made in the face of high risk. The work is motivated by the needs of decision makers, specifically aviation decision ...
