Effects of Graphical In-Flight Weather Information and Graphical Depictions of Airspace Restrictions on Pilots’ Decisions to Continue VFR Flight into IMC
(2021-12)Continued Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) is a leading cause of fatal general aviation accidents. According to the 2020 Joseph T. Nall Report, this type of accident has a ... -
The Effects of Laser Eye Protection on Color Recognition and Discrimination
(2017-05)The number of reported laser strikes on aircraft has increased over the years. Laser strikes pose a threat to safety and thus, warrant attention and mitigation efforts. Laser Eye Protection (LEP) is one mitigation method ... -
The Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation on Aircraft Crewmember Health
(2021-07)Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and its effects on crewmember health will be evaluated by examining the variables that impact the intensity of UV radiation and the health concerns associated with this exposure. The purpose of ... -
Effects of Verbal vs Graphical Weather Information on a Pilots Decision-making during Preflight
(2018-04)Before a general aviation pilot conducts a flight, they obtain a preflight weather briefing that shares information on possible hazards along the intended route of flight. These preflight weather briefings are typically ... -
Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM): Examining the Relationship Between Factors Influencing eWOM Activities and Passengers' Purchasing Involvement in the Context of Aviation
(2019-12)The purpose of the study was manifold: (a) to examine the relationship a set of targeted factors has on electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) activities in the context of aviation, (b) to examine the extent to which these ... -
Employees Attitudes toward Safety Risk Management and Safety Performance at U.S. Airports
(2018-07)Increasing air transportation traffic around the world initiated authorities to take new safety measures into consideration. In 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to ... -
Evaluation of a wind-wave system for ensemble tropical cyclone wave forecasting. part I: Winds
(2013-04)A computationally efficient method of producing tropical cyclone (TC) wind analyses is developed and tested, using a hindcast methodology, for 12 Gulf of Mexico storms. The analyses are created by blending synthetic data, ... -
Evaluation of Low Cost Controllers for Mobile Based Virtual Reality Headsets
(2017-04)Virtual Reality (VR) is no longer just for training purposes. The consumer VR market has become a large part of the VR world and is growing at a rapid pace. In spite of this growth, there is no standard controller for ... -
