Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of Air Traffic Control (ATC) instruction format (grouped vs. sequential presentation) and message length on General Aviation pilot communication was investigated in a simulated flight environment using the Civil Aeromedical Institute's (CAMI's) Basic General Aviation Research Simulator (BGARS). Prior to flying the simulator each pilot was provided with familiarization training, listened to and read back ATC messages spoken in either grouped or sequential format (depending on their assigned treatment group), and completed a digit span test (a measure of short-term memory). While flying 2 missions in the simulator, 12 pilots heard recorded ATC messages that contained altitude and radio frequency information spoken in a grouped format (e.g., "descend and maintain forty-one hundred"), and 12 heard the same instructions spoken sequentially (e.g., "descend and maintain four thousand one hundred"). The amount of information in a message varied from 2 to 5 speech acts, including the aircraft identification. All pilots were instructed to read back and execute the ATC instructions. Readback errors and requests to clarify ATC messages were the primary measures of pilot communication. Readback strategies, such as whether pilots repeated instructions in the same format as issued by ATC, were also examined. We found only limited evidence that the grouped format improved pilot memory for ATC messages. In one analysis of requests for clarification, pilots who received grouped instructions produced fewer requests than did pilots who received the same instructions in sequential format, suggesting that they were less likely to misunderstand the ATC messages. Pilots who received grouped instructions were also more likely to read back the grouped instructions in sequential format, suggesting that prior experience with the sequential format influenced pilot communication in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective radio communication between ATC and pilots has long been recognized as an important element of aviation safety. In recognition of the role miscommunications play in aviation incidents and accidents, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently introduced language proficiency requirements for all flight personnel in all ICAO member states. Using an effective and economical experimental paradigm, the research described here teases apart the complex combination of factors (e.g. speech rate, controller message length, English language proficiency, cognitive workload) believed to contribute to miscommunications between controllers and pilots. Misunderstandings in ATC Communication offers an in-depth report of a seminal study in aviation communication, which until now has only been available in the form of an unpublished dissertation. In addition, it offers a recent extension of that work, the authors’ reflections on the research process, and a thorough review of the aviation communication literature. Graduate students and researchers who wish to address real-world problems will appreciate the simple elegance of the experimental paradigm that has been used to address a wide range of theoretical and applied interdisciplinary research questions. The book will appeal to scholars in the fields of human factors, linguistics, cognitive psychology, applied linguistics and second-language education and assessment. It is also of direct relevance to government and industry decision-makers and operators as they strive to implement the ICAO requirements, and to improve aviation safety.

Download or read book Comparison of Voice and Text ATC Communications in the Cockpit for ESL Pilots written by Shannon Marie Cummings and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Effective pilot-ATC communication helps to increase safety by increasing the situation awareness of both the pilot and controller. The study examined the effect of using mixed modality or redundant (auditory and visual) ATC messages in the cockpit on ESL pilots. Each pilot was exposed to 20 clearances, ten visual and ten mixed. The researchers recorded each pilot's readback and assessed the response time and accuracy of each transmission. The results of the study indicated that both groups performed significantly better in the mixed modality; however, the study did not reveal any significant group differences."--Leaf iii.

This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies have shown that radio communications between pilots and air traffic control contribute to high pilot workload and are subject to various errors. These errors result from congestion on the voice radio channel, and missed and misunderstood messages. The use of digital data link has been proposed as a means of reducing this workload and error rate. A critical factor, however, in determining the potential benefit of data link will be the interface between future data link systems and the operator of those systems, both in the air and on the ground. The purpose of this effort was to evaluate the pilot interface with various levels of data link capability, in simulated general aviation, single-pilot instrument flight rule operations. Results show that the data link reduced demands on pilots' short-term memory, reduced the number of communication transmissions, and permitted the pilots to more easily allocate time to critical cockpit tasks while receiving air traffic control messages. The pilots who participated unanimously indicated a preference for data link communications over voice-only communications. There were, however, situations in which the pilot preferred the use of voice communications, and the ability for pilots to delay processing the data link messages, during high workload events, caused delays in the acknowledgement of messages to air traffic control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking readers step-by-step through the major issues surrounding the use of English in the global aviation industry, this book provides a clear introduction to turning research into practice in the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), specifically Aviation English, and a valuable case study of applied linguistics in action. With both cutting-edge research and evidence-based practice, the critical role of English in aviation is explored across a variety of contexts, including the national and global policies impacting training and language assessment for pilots, air-traffic controllers, ground staff, and students. English in Global Aviation teaches readers how to apply linguistic research to real world, practical settings. The book uses a range of corpus-based findings and related research to provide an effective analysis of the language needs of the aviation industry and an extended look at linguistic principles in action. Readers are presented with case studies, transcriptions, radiotelephony, and a clear breakdown of the common vocabulary and phrasal patterns of aviation discourse. Students and teachers of both linguistics and aviation will discover the requirements and challenges of successful intercultural communication in this industry, as well as insights into how to teach, develop, and assess aviation English language courses.

Download or read book The Outcome of ATC Message Length and Complexity on en Route Pilot Readback Performance written by O. Veronika Prinzo and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Field data and laboratory studies conducted in the 1990s reported the rate of pilot readback errors and communication problems increased as controller transmissions became more complex. This resulted in the recommendation that controllers send shorter messages to reduce the memory load imposed on pilots by complex messages. More than 10 yrs have passed since a comprehensive analysis quantified the types and frequency of readback errors and communication problems that occurred in the en route operational environment. Hence, a content analysis was performed on 51 hrs of pilot and controller messages that were transmitted from five en route facilities in the contiguous United States between March and August 2006. This report contains detailed and comprehensive descriptions of routine air traffic control (ATC) transmissions and how ATC message complexity and message length affected pilot readback performance. The results show that message complexity had a statistically significant effect on the production of errors of omission only, while message length affected both the production of errors of omission and readback errors (substitution and transposition errors)."--Page i.
