An Investigation Of Runway Risks Using A Systems Approach
(2021-05)The purpose of this study was to explore and determine if Causal Analysis Based on System Theory (CAST) could divulge differing underlying causes in the Taxiway overflight incident of Air Canada Flight 759 at San Francisco ... -
Local adjustment of the background error correlation for surface analyses over complex terrain
(2005-04-01)The terrain between grid points is used to modify locally the background error correlation matrix in an objective analysis system. This modification helps to reduce the influence across mountain barriers of corrections to ... -
Low-Cost Carriers Versus Legacy Carriers: Passenger Preference During the Covid-19 Pandemic
(2022-05)The purpose of the current study was to identify whether passengers had a preference between traveling on low-cost carriers versus legacy carriers during the ongoing pandemic. Building off research conducted by another ... -
Mitigating Risk Tolerance among General Aviation Pilots: Identifying Factors That Contribute to GA Pilots’ Risk Perception
(2019-05)The purpose of this study was to identify factors that contributed to general aviation (GA) pilots’ level of risk perception, which could then be manifested as an increase in risk tolerance. The study used an explanatory ... -
Near-real-time applications of a mesoscale analysis system to complex terrain
(2002-03-22)Several mesoscale data analysis systems are reviewed, of which one is then adapted and applied to the complex terrain of northwest Utah and the western United States. The analysis system relies on the simple, but computationally ... -
Obtaining Objective Measurements of Reaction Times to Auditory Alarms
(2000-05)Several pulse parameters that were believed to affect response time to auditory alarms were investigated in a factorial experiment. 18 subjects, (14 male, 4 female), participated in an experiment where the effects of ... -
Pilots' Likelihood to Quit Flying in Part 121 Commercial Aviation
(2018-04)The purpose of the study was to develop a statistical model representing predictors to anticipate pilots’ likelihood to quit flying in Part 121 Commercial Aviation. The study was primarily focused on the current Part 121 ... -
Positive Experiences as Countermeasures to Stress in Spaceflight: An Investigation of the Experiences of Astronauts
(2018-05)Long-duration space mission targets such as asteroids, the Moon and Mars in coming years will increase the need to stress management techniques to support crews on increasingly risky, autonomous missions. New stress ... -
A Prediction Model of Airline Passenger Preference: Identifying factors that predict passenger preference between low cost and legacy carriers.
(2017-09)The purpose of the study was to identify factors that influence a commercial airline passenger’s preference between low-cost and legacy airline carriers. In turn a prediction model of passenger preference was created for ... -
Previous mental illness diagnoses predict perceptions of current mental illness: a cultural and gender differences analysis of the United States and India
(2015-04-30)The disparities in mental health care around the world have led to differences in the way mental illness is treated, diagnosed, and stigmatized. The studies conducted revealed in this article investigated differences between ... -
A Probabilistic Fog Stability Index for Predicting the Occurrence of Radiation Fog at U.S. Airports
(2022-05-19)Fog is a phenomenon that is widely known to affect the aviation industry adversely, as evidenced by economic losses due to the hindrance of fog on airport operations. This is because fog has been a consistent cause for ... -
Probability distributions and threshold selection for monte carlo-type tropical cyclone wind speed forecasts
(2014-04-30)Probabilistic wind speed forecasts for tropical cyclones from Monte Carlo-type simulations are assessed within a theoretical framework for a simple unbiased Gaussian system that is based on feature size and location error ... -
The Psychological Health of Airline Pilots: A Flight Deck Crew’s Perceptions and Willingness to Fly
(2017-12)Pilots have an image of bravado and charisma which includes that of a hardened, unemotional professional. What happens when the inevitable hardship occurs to a pilot? In the past, physical attributes were highly sought ... -
