The purpose of this study was to determine what effect the use of flight simulation has on the time to solo of student pilots. Participants in this study were first semester flight students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). Twelve participants completed the study and were given three hours of instruction in a Frasca 141 flight training device (FTD) with visual display prior to beginning training in an aircraft. The students were all instructed on the basic sight pictures of a Cessna 172, given instruction on aircraft control, basic maneuvers, and take-off and landing in the FTD. At the completion of first solo, the total flight time and calendar days to the first solo from the starting date were calculated and compared to a historic data group. The experimental group had a mean time to solo of 17.1 hours, mean days to solo of 77.3 days compared to the historic group which had a mean time to solo of 17.4 hours, mean days to solo of 86.1 days. These differences were not significant at the .05 level for hours t (150) = .225, p = .823 (two-tailed), 1 – â = .056, c2 = .000; or days t (150) = .784, p = .434 (two tailed), 1 – â = .142, c2 =.004.

The University Aviation Association (1991) completed the last report on the status of collegiate aviation programs over two decades ago. The purpose of the current report is to update the field regarding the status of collegiate aviation fleet characteristics. Using existing survey data, collected in 2010 from 38 collegiate aviation programs in the United States that use aircraft or flight-training devices (FTD), fleet size, hours in use, aircraft and FTD types used, and the number of students in each program were investigated. The results indicate that collegiate aviation flight programs have increased their number of aircraft and FTD since the 1991 study.

On August 1, 2010, President Obama signed Public Law 111-216. This new legislation impacts the practices of 14 CFR Part 121 air carriers, as well as dictating the requirement of all airline pilots to hold an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate. This study examines how a flight instructor in a 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school measures up to the aeronautical experience requirements of the ATP. Aeronautical experience of 174 current flight instructors employed by a Part 141 collegiate aviation program was analyzed. The results indicate that this group of flight instructors significantly lacked the required cross-country flight experience required by the ATP certificate. The research also found that the number of flight instructors aspiring to work for air carriers is on the decline.
2010年8月1日,奥巴马总统签署了第111-216号公法。这项新立法影响了14 CFR第121部分航空承运人的做法,并规定所有航空公司飞行员必须持有航空运输飞行员(ATP)证书。本研究考察了14 CFR Part 141飞行员学校的飞行教官如何达到ATP的航空经验要求。本文对174名在职飞行教官的飞行经验进行了分析。结果表明,这组飞行教官明显缺乏ATP证书所需的越野飞行经验。研究还发现,渴望在航空公司工作的飞行教官数量正在下降。

The purpose of this study was to expose any perceived inadequacies in the higher-education aviation curricula and to propose changes needed to better qualify aviation students in the hiring process at regional air carriers. The research also addressed the assumption that higher education is necessary for advancing a pilot’s aptitudes and abilities to perform the highly technical tasks of a professional pilot in a regional airline environment. A survey was used to poll pilots from two regional airlines that were based in Texas. Analysis of the survey responses revealed the perceived quality of training that existed in higher education aviation programs. This confirmed the value of advising a path of higher education for students embarking on an aviation career as a pilot for a regional airline, and that 2-year colleges and 4-year universities with aviation programs are meeting the present demands required by regional airlines in the south-central United States.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has placed increasing emphasis on aeronautical decision making (ADM) instruction, and it is critical that flight training schools ensure that their students are meeting and exceeding these requirements, especially since it has been shown that training in ADM can reduce the amount of errors caused by poor decision making (Berlin et al., 1982; Buch & Diehl, 1984; Buch, Lawton, & Livack, 1987; Connolly & Blackwell, 1989; Telfer, 1989). The goal of this study was to determine the status of ADM training at a collegiate flight training school and if there was any need for program improvement. Two surveys were used to define the ADM training environment. One survey was designed to determine the methods that professors believe should be used to teach ADM and the elements of ADM that should be included in instruction. A second survey focused on identifying methods and elements that were currently being used by flight instructors. The results of the surveys were then compared to determine if there were significant differences between what professors of aviation believed should be taught and what flight instructors were actually teaching in regards to ADM. The findings suggest that instructors were not consistently using the types of situations that allow students to practice decision making, nor were they consistently emphasizing the different types of elements that contribute to good decision making. Recommendations based on this research included: (a) analyzing the nature of ADM-related instruction at other collegiate flight training schools using similar methodology, (b) providing additional ADM-related ground and flight instruction, (c) determining the students’ perceptions of ADM instruction in the aircraft, and (d) adapting lesson plans to provide additional/more effective opportunities for students to practice ADM.
美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)越来越重视航空决策(ADM)教学,飞行培训学校确保学生达到并超过这些要求是至关重要的,特别是因为已有研究表明,ADM培训可以减少由于糟糕的决策而导致的错误数量(Berlin et al., 1982;Buch & Diehl, 1984;布赫,劳顿和利瓦克,1987;Connolly & Blackwell, 1989;电动高架索道,1989)。本研究的目的是确定一所大学飞行训练学校的ADM训练现状,以及是否有任何需要改进的项目。两个调查被用来定义ADM培训环境。一项调查旨在确定教授们认为应该用来教授ADM的方法,以及教学中应该包含的ADM元素。第二项调查的重点是确定飞行教官目前正在使用的方法和要素。然后对调查结果进行比较,以确定在航空教授认为应该教授的内容与飞行教官实际教授的内容之间是否存在显着差异。调查结果表明,教官并没有始终使用允许学生练习决策的情况类型,也没有始终强调有助于良好决策的不同类型的元素。基于这项研究的建议包括:(a)使用类似的方法分析其他大学飞行训练学校ADM相关教学的性质;(b)提供额外的ADM相关地面和飞行教学;(c)确定学生对飞机上ADM教学的看法;(d)调整课程计划,为学生提供更多/更有效的实践ADM的机会。

The authors explore academic and ethical misconduct in various forms and consider the role of students’ perceptions. They gather data from professional pilot students in four year academic disciplines from seven accredited universities across the United States. Four components are considered to better understand the behavior and perception of students’ conduct in professional pilot education across the United States. These components are: attitude towards academic dishonesty, attitude towards neutralization behavior, attitude towards normalization of deviance, and ethical standards. Preliminary findings from the students’ pre-tests are reported.

Aviation educators can increase the depth of student learning in their classes by implementing Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). The goal of this study was to determine whether POGIL, a uniquely effective teaching strategy used primarily in chemistry or biology, stimulates deeper student learning outside the flight lab. Results from measured test scores on identical assessment instruments between the control and experimental groups indicate the use of POGIL can significantly increase the depth of student learning in collegiate aviation classes with or without a flight lab.

Quality assurance of academic programs has traditionally been through accreditation. Specialized accreditation is a means for specific academic fields to ensure quality. In the field of aviation, the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI) is the sole accrediting agency for collegiate aviation programs. Currently 25 percent of the institutions that offer four year non-engineering aviation degrees have one or more of their programs accredited by AABI. The purpose of this study was to examine if students’ perceptions of quality differ between accredited and non-accredited programs using the quality dimensions of curriculum, faculty, environment, facilities and equipment, student outcomes and overall satisfaction. Students currently enrolled in four year aviation degree programs from 22 institutions participated in the study. The findings indicated that significant differences in students’ perceptions of quality exist in favor of accredited programs for curriculum, and facilities and equipment, as well as for several measures of faculty quality. Additionally, students in accredited programs perceived that their degree was preparing them well for their intended career to a significantly greater extent than students in non-accredited programs. Results of this study have implications for administrators and faculty seeking to improve the quality of their programs.

This article reports the results of a survey of flight instructors’ experiences in communication training. The author administered a self-report survey of flight instructors (N=102) at an upper Midwestern university flight program. The flight instructors who responded to the survey reported a range of flight experience as a flight instructor between zero hours and 6,000 hours of experience. The survey featured four open-ended questions that asked for information about courses or training in communication flight instructors received, experiences that helped improve their ability to communicate effectively, training in effective communication with students, and participation in crew resource management courses. Instructors reported sources of training and experience in communication as including flight instructing, coursework, their flight instructors, FAA materials, and daily life. The author concludes with a brief discussion of training implications and areas for further research.

During the past ten years, there have only been a few published research studies examining the possible behavioral consequences of energy drink consumption by college students. With that in mind, the authors surveyed collegiate aviation flight students regarding their consumption of energy drinks and their perceptions of side effects and behavioral patterns after consuming energy drinks. Results show that 57% of student pilots surveyed consume energy drinks 1-3 times a week. In addition, 56% stated they can only consume one energy drink (16 ounces) without experiencing side effects. A majority (60%) reported they consumed energy drinks the same day they piloted an aircraft; and the same percentage (60%) had observed other student pilots consuming energy drinks the same day they piloted an aircraft. And yet, 67% of the participating flight students agree that energy drinks have an effect on collegiate flight students’ ability to pilot an aircraft.
