Semi-Structured Decision Processes: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Human-Automation Decision Systems
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1999-09)
The purpose of this work is to improve understanding of existing and proposed decision systems, ideally to improve the design of future systems. A "decision system" is defined as a collection of
information-processing ...
The Impact of GPS Velocity Based Flight Control on Flight Instrumentation Architecture
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1999-06)
This thesis explores the use of velocity information obtained by a Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver to close the aircraft’s flight control loop. A novel framework to synthesize
attitude information from GPS ...
Enhanced spatial state feedback for night vision goggle displays
(1997-04)
A preliminary study was conducted to investigate the use of visual flow cues as an aid to ground and vertical drift awareness
during helicopter flight and targeting while using night vision goggles (NVG's). Three displays ...
A Human Subject Evaluation of Airport Surface Situational Awareness Using Prototypical Flight Deck Electronic Taxi Chart Displays
(1994-08)
The advent of Instrument Landing Systems has allowed aircraft to safely takeoff and land in low visibility conditions. However, the lack of a means by which pilots can safely navigate on the ground in poor visibility ...
Situation Awareness Information Requirements For Commercial Airline Pilots
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1998-09)
Situation awareness is presented as a fundamental requirement for good airmanship, forming the basis for pilot decision making and performance. To develop a better understanding of the role of situation awareness in flying, ...
An Exploratory Survey of Informantion Requirements for Instrument Approach Charts
(National Technical Information Service, 1995-03)
Development and Evaluation of an Electronic Vertical Situation Display
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1996-06)
Current advanced commercial transport aircraft, such as the Boeing B777/B747-400, the
Airbus A320/A340 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, rely on AutoFlight Systems (AFS) for
flight management, navigation and inner loop ...
An Experimental Study of the Effect of Shared Information on Pilot/Controller Re-Route Negotiation
(International Center for Air Transportation, 1999-01)
Air–ground data link systems are being developed to enable pilots and air traffic controllers to
share information more fully. The sharing of information is generally expected to enhance their
shared situation awareness ...
