Vrij, Aldert; Leal, Sharon; Deeb, Haneen; Chan, Stephanie; Khader, Majeed; Chai, Whistine; Chin, Jeffery – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Due to time constraints, interviews aimed to detect deception in airport settings should be brief and veracity assessments should be made in real time. In two experiments carried out in the departure hall of an international airport, truth tellers were asked to report truthfully their forthcoming trip, whereas liars were asked to lie about the…

Hattingh, Andre; Hodge, Steven; Mavin, Timothy – International Journal of Training Research, 2022
This paper investigates how flight instructors view the utility of competency-based education/training (CBE/T) during the training of new pilots. A total of ten flight instructors were interviewed and analysed through an interpretive paradigm of grounded theory. The findings indicate flight instructors of all experience levels have difficulty…

Almamari, Khalid Saif – ProQuest LLC, 2020
A large body of literature suggests that cognitive abilities are important determinants for training and job performance, including flight performance. The associations between measures of ability tests and job performance have been the focus of many empirical studies, resulting in an overall conclusion that general mental ability is the main…

Colin Alwin Harris – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Inexperienced and poorly trained Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs) contribute to aircraft accidents and other serious aviation mishaps, which negatively impact human safety, the environment, government and personal property, and the efficient and smooth operation of the National Airspace System (NAS). The Federal Aviation Administration…

Black, Stephanie C.; Bender, Angela D.; Whitney, Susannah J.; Loft, Shayne; Visser, Troy A. W. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Increasingly higher demands are being made on the capacity-limited cognitive capabilities of human operators as they strive to maintain situation awareness (i.e., understanding "what is going on") and performance in complex tasks. In the current study we asked whether: (a) training administered via a mobile phone-based app could improve…

Larrea, Maria F.; Hodge, Steven; Mavin, Timothy J.; Kikkawa, Yosriko – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2022
This paper provides a perspective on learning in which training and situated learning complement each other in developing cabin crew competence. Traditionally, airlines have approached cabin crew training from a competency-based, behavioural perspective with limited engagement in the actual work context. This ethnographic study builds on…

Neel, Matthew S. – Physics Education, 2022
Similar to how stealth materials were developed to reduce the radar wave energy returning from an aircraft, here we explore a low-cost laboratory demonstration that uses similar principles to prevent detection of an object by an ultrasonic sensor. This demonstration setup can be used as a starting point to encourage students to explore the surface…

Stahmer, Ulf – Physics Teacher, 2018
During every moment of our lives, we are surrounded by radiation from natural and manmade sources. Our bodies contain radionuclides from which we receive radiation. Radionuclides are found in the foods we eat and in the ground we walk on. We receive cosmic radiation from space. Radionuclides are also found in the airborne particles we breathe. The…

Christine Owen – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
This paper examines the learning and performance of the air traffic control (ATC) work domain. This domain was chosen because it embodies features that represent future work for many other industries (e.g., information service provision mediated by information technologies; a high reliance on communication skills and collaborative work; increasing…

In an authentic flight simulator, the instructor is traditionally located behind the learner and is thus unable to observe the pilot's visual attention (i.e. gaze behaviour). The focus of this article is visual attention in relation to pilots' professional learning in an Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator. For this purpose, we measured and analysed…

Arslan, Sezen – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2021
International Civil Aviation Organization recognizes English proficiency tests for the aviation personnel. Despite this, no universal test has yet to be developed for this purpose. There are only local tests available on the market. Among them is a computerdelivered English proficiency test which is administered for a globally recognized flight…

Shakira Keller; Roger Gilabert – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2023
The aim of this task-based needs analysis is two-fold: firstly, to uncover the tasks performed by U.S.-based Spanish-language flight attendants and the associated language needs and, in doing so, to expand the breadth of task-based needs analysis (TBNA) through the application of multiple methods and sources (Long, 2005) and tackling the…

Semchuchot, Narudol; Soontornnaruerangsee, Wannana; Bodhisuwan, Winai – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2021
Besides English proficiency, intercultural communicative competence is a desirable qualification for flight attendants. An under-researched cultural group of Muslim passengers was the focus of this mixed-method study which investigated Thai flight attendants' intercultural sensitivity and related biographical details. Topics in intercultural…

Sharkey, Thomas C.; Bublak, Steve; Disselkamp, Lisa; Shkil, Brittney – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2020
This case study focuses on modeling and analyzing the practices concerning the staffing of the immigration agency at the Island of Tropical Paradise International Airport (ITPIA), which is responsible for processing arriving passengers into the country. Immigration at ITPIA has engaged you to understand the trade-offs between the number of…

Nuryantini, Ade Yeti; Nuryadin, Bebeh Wahid – Physics Education, 2020
The vector of aircraft motion and analysis using FlightRadar24 and Tracker motion analysis has been investigated and studied. The straight, turning and circular aircraft motion were recorded from www.flightradar24.com using a commercial desktop video recording. Then, the video of the aircraft motion was analyzed using Tracker 5.1.1 to determine…
