This study examined the influence of field dependence on susceptibility to the false horizon illusion. Additionally, it investigated how executive functions might mediate this susceptibility. Sixty-six military pilots performed an experimental task on the Hyperion flight simulator and a number of computerized tasks that assessed their working memory and attentional processes. All pilots succumbed to the false horizon illusion. A sloping cloud had the most impact on the flight profile accuracy in field-dependent pilots. Cognitive predictors of spatial disorientation were different for field-dependent, independent, and intermediate pilots.

System-wide trust theory (Keller & Rice, 2010) suggests that automated aids associated with multiple independent gauges tend to be treated as one system. Meyer's (2001, 2004) compliance–reliance model indicates that false-alarm-prone and miss-prone automated aids affect operator behavior differently. This study integrates system-wide trust theory with Meyer's compliance–reliance model. Participants monitored 8 gauges, each augmented by an automated aid. Aid 1 was either 100% or 70% reliable (either false alarm- or miss-prone), whereas the other aids were perfectly reliable. Participants generally employed a system-wide trust strategy, but this effect was stronger for false alarms compared to misses.

Skydiving, a so-called risky sport, has become a more and more accessible and popular form of recreation. The question arises whether it attracts people of common psychological constitution. The aim of the study described in this article was to determine whether parachutists are a homogenous group in the sense of temperament features, need for stimulation, and risk. The research involved 143 parachutists (98 men and 45 women) between 17 and 49 years old, including 73 beginners with not more than 10 jumps and 70 advanced parachutists who had at least 100 jumps and qualifications to practice skydiving without the supervision of an instructor. In the research, the following questionnaires were applied: Formal Characteristics of Behavior–The Temperament Inventory of Zawadzki and Strelau (1997), Sensation Seeking Scale of Zuckerman (1979), the Multifactorial Scale of Risky Behaviors of Studenski (2006), State–Trait Anxiety Inventory of Spielberger et al. (1983), and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology Mood Adjective Check List of Matthews, Chamberlain, and Jones (1990). Cluster analysis identified 3 groups of parachutists, which we label risk avoiders, sensation seekers, and moderates. These 3 groups differ significantly in terms of all diagnosed constant psychical properties, mood, and the level of anxiety before and after a jump. Parachutists are a heterogeneous group, differing significantly in terms of the temperament features needed for sensation and risk taking. This suggests that their motives for engagement in the activity connected with risk are different. Recognition of these features in the process of training and subsequent individualization of training could limit the risk of accidents during parachute jumps.

This study examined the validity of cognitive ability, previous flying experience, and a simulation in predicting the job knowledge and flying performance of military pilots undergoing training. Archival data were analyzed for 300 Canadian pilot candidates who attempted entry-level military pilot training and 150 candidates who completed intermediate-level training on fixed-wing aircraft. Cognitive ability predicted aviation-related job knowledge but not flying performance at either early or later stages of flying performance. Both previous flying experience and the simulation predicted success in early flying performance but only the simulation predicted success at the more advanced levels of pilot training. Previous flying experience moderated the results from the simulation; the simulation was a much stronger predictor of advanced flying performance for those candidates with no previous flying experience. The results suggest developing different selection protocols for those candidates with previous flying experience.

After 9/11, new security duties were instituted at many U.S. air carriers and existing safety and security duties received increased emphasis. Concurrently, in-flight services were changed and in many cases, cabin crews were reduced. This article examines the post-9/11 conflict between passenger service and the timely performance of safety and security duties at 1 major U.S. air carrier. In-flight data were obtained on both international and domestic flights. The data suggest that the prompt performance of the safety and security duties is adversely affected by the number of service duties occurring in the later part of both international and domestic flights.

The performance of 5,717 aviation security screeners in detecting prohibited items in x-ray images of passenger bags was analyzed over a period of 4 years. The measure used in this study was detection performance on the X-Ray Competency Assessment Test (X-Ray CAT) and performance on this measure was obtained on an annual basis. Between tests, screeners performed varying amounts of training in the task of prohibited item detection using an adaptive computer-based training system called X-Ray Tutor (XRT). For both XRT and X-Ray CAT, prohibited items are categorized into guns, knives, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other prohibited items. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the training and test data were performed. Both types of analysis revealed a strong improvement of X-Ray CAT performance as a result of XRT training for all 4 item categories. The results of the study indicate that screener competency in detecting prohibited items in x-ray images of passenger bags can be greatly improved through routine XRT training.

Competency-based training is a training philosophy that has become well established in many countries around the world, predominately in the vocational education and training sector. In some of these countries, the concept has been extended to include aviation flight training. This is the case in Australia, which introduced the requirement for competency-based training in aviation in 1999 through the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. This article gives a brief outline of the current status of flight training in Australian aviation and also highlights some of the difficulties facing flight training organizations in introducing a competency-based training system into a tightly regulated aviation industry, in particular the conflict between the philosophy behind competency-based training and the reality of meeting regulatory minimums and airline syllabus requirements.

We evaluated the predictive classification accuracy of discriminant analysis, logistic regression and four neural network typologies (multiple layer perceptrons, radial basis networks, probabilistic neural networks, and linear neural networks) on a flight screening program with a pass–fail criterion using several psychometric tests as predictors. A stepwise (for logistic regression and discriminant analysis) and sensitivity (for neural networks) selection procedure identified spatial visualization, eye–hand–foot coordination, and concentration capacity as significant predictors. Performance on the first few flights of the screening program was also retained as a significant predictor of final score. Regarding the accuracy of predictions, logistic regression showed the highest accuracy (77%), with high sensitivity (92%) but low specificity (31%). Discriminant analysis had high sensitivity (77%) and high specificity (64%). However, it had the second lowest accuracy (74%). The best performing neural network type was the multiple layer perception, which showed high sensitivity (85%), the second highest specificity (47%), and high accuracy (76%). Radial basis networks and probabilistic networks both fail to predict correctly the candidates who fail on the flight screening program (0% specificity).

This study applied a backpropagation artificial neural network approach to investigate both the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS)-related unsafe act tiers of factors and other non-HFACS factors in an attempt to recognize patterns for general aviation accident fatalities. Data were obtained from the HFACS database and extracted from the National Transportation Safety Board database from 1990 to 2002. Multiple neural network models were created and the best fit model was selected based on a sequence of criteria. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the validated model to rank the factors that lead to general aviation fatalities. Results are discussed and practical implications are given.

ERASMUS is a “subliminal” automated aid system designed to reduce air traffic controllers' workload. Prior experiments showed that ERASMUS reduced subjective ratings of mental workload. In this article, the effect of ERASMUS on objective measures of controllers' visual activity was tested in a fully realistic simulation environment. The eye movements of 7 controllers were recorded during experimental traffic sequences, with and without ERASMUS. Consistent with a reduced workload hypothesis, results showed medium to large effects of ERASMUS on the amplitude of saccades, on the time spent gazing at aircraft, and on the distribution of attention over the visual scene.
