Two studies were designed to investigate how pilots of different rank evaluate flight-deck performance. In each study, the pilots were asked to assess sets of three different videotaped scenarios featuring pilots in a simulator exhibiting poor, average, ...

Applied aviation research can be extremely expensive and time consuming. Generally, aviation researchers use group-designed experimental models, requiring large sample sizes, to observe intervention effects. Currently, in an environment of dwindling ...

The assessment of pilots’ performances and more specifically their nontechnical skills turns out to be difficult because researchers and practitioners find that inter-rater reliability tends to be moderate to low. In this study, we proposed, consistent ...

Behavioral markers are used in training and assessment of nontechnical skills (NTSs). This study tested the reliability of a unique set of markers designed to help assess heightened emotional activity (HEA) as a response to perceived threats. Using five ...

This article presents the development and application of a tool for the ergonomic evaluation of helicopter simulators at a German Army aviation school. We will illustrate excerpts of two assessments and the derivation of technical change requirements by ...
