Abstract: A sense of presence plays a significant role in virtual reality (VR) usability, yet there is limited research of its existence in a virtual reality flight simulator (VRFS). Similarly, there is scarce investigation of situational ...

Abstract: Technological advancements have resulted in significant safety benefits in commercial aviation; however, in general aviation their adoption has been somewhat slow. It is therefore important to understand how pilots interact with ...

Abstract: Mobility aircrew operate in unique, high-tempo environments resulting in susceptibility to fatigue. In the current study we examined fatigue perceptions and mitigation strategies before and during mission execution with ...

Abstract: Although mind-wandering decreases processing of external information, it remains understudied in air traffic controllers (ATCOs), who must constantly attend to external information. Using autobiographical memory retrieval, we ...

Abstract: We investigated whether deliberately going beyond alarms during aerodynamic stall recovery exercises may result in negative training. Two groups of 20 airline pilots received stall recovery training in a moving-base simulator. ...

Abstract: New learning and teaching techniques are required to reduce the length and costs of flight training while increasing its quality, such as observational learning, also known as backseating in aviation training. This study ...
