This paper describes the iterative development, evaluation, and improvement of DAV 715: Human Factors in Aviation, an online doctoral course in the Ph.D. in Aviation program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. From 2013 through 2017, data were collected from students enrolled in the course using a learning experience survey and an…

Advanced regional jet simulators, specifically the Bombardier and Embraer series, have grown in popularity within the collegiate aviation world over the last two decades. Curricular and program applications for these simulators made way for improvements to advanced systems and crew resource management (CRM) courses, academic research, and student…

This study explores potential disparities between flight instructor evaluations and pilot self-assessments in the context of full flight simulator training. Evaluated performance was based on the Competency-based Training and Assessment framework, a recent development of competency-based education within aviation. Self-assessed performance is…

The use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones, is increasing in geospatial science curricula within the United States. Four geospatial science faculty members within the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU), Texas, focus on applying imagery obtained from drones to map,…

Competency-based training (CBT) is gaining popularity as an approach towards creating a highly skilled workforce while reducing the skill gaps faced by industry. Integrated within an organisation's management systems, it can lead to benefits such as increased productivity and strengthened employee engagement. While CBT of aviation industry…

The air transportation industry was experiencing massive growth across the globe before the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, future projections from major forecasting indicators, such as the Boeing Global Forecast and Airbus Market Forecast, predicted a greater than 4% average yearly growth rate over the next twenty years. The Federal Aviation…

This document presents the changes belonging to the published article. The study aimed to examine the opinions of the instructors who work at GUHEM (Gökmen Space and Aviation Training Center) on the exhibition's content, how the exhibition spaces contribute to science education, especially astronomy and aviation, and the types of visitors who…

Flight training is a lengthy and resource-intensive process with additional learning, and teaching techniques are often overlooked. One technique is observational learning, or backseating in aviation training, which can accelerate pilot training. This study aimed to analyze the factors that facilitate and hinder the implementation of backseating…

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an adapted collaborative governance model for aviation human resource development in Indonesia's approved training organisations (ATO), considering the expected changes in the industry due to advanced technologies. The model, based on Ansell and Gash's approach, emphasizes multi-stakeholder collaboration to…

Validation of ideas are of paramount importance in STEM fields. Learning and converting ideas into practical application is the main purpose of technical education. Aviation is a highly safety sensitive field where confusion and mistakes are not acceptable. This brings serious challenges for academia that provides higher education in this field. A…

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered an unexpected digital revolution, speeding up universities' digital transformation worldwide. It has brought heavy disruptions to travel and mobility worldwide, but it drives the opportunity for hosting region-wide or even international academic exchanges through learning programs, workshops, and conferences via…

Affect influences learning and training through various cognitive, psychomotor and motivational processes. This research aims to examine the role of affect in aviation training. Participants' (N = 19) affect and performance were examined in simulated aviation training while they performed ten tasks. Affective states were inferred from…

The practice of intercultural teaching seems to be commonly applied but not in aviation English class. This might be difficult in conceptualizing intercultural competence instructional model (ICCIM) due to the mandatory adaptation to aviation English materials. This autobiographical study aimed to describe how the researcher conducted…

The central aim of this study was to determine the potential of the GPS-based MCL system for English learning in terms of its relationship with learning achievements. For this, the research enrolled 51 students of Moscow Aviation Institute, National Research University (Moscow, Russian Federation) aged 20 to 22, 35% were males, and 65% were…

The commercial use of UAS (unmanned aerial systems) more commonly known as "drones" is increasing rapidly in a variety of areas from agriculture to construction (Marshall, 2016). The need for people who can safely operate UAS, understand the legal restrictions and privacy concerns related to UAS use, and build and repair UAS is…
