This book was released on 2008 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air traffic control (ATC) voice communication is built upon a readback-hearback loop: Controllers send messages to pilots who listen and then recite back their contents. Successful communication requires participants to conduct and understand ATC radiotelephony in the same language. Since inadequate language proficiency was involved in some aviation accidents (e.g., 1996 Charkhi Dadri; 1995 Cali; 1977 Tenerife), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is requiring its contracting states to ensure that ATC personnel and flight crews are proficient communicators of the English language when operating in airspace where the English language is required. This report presents communication problems involving readback errors, breakdowns in communication, and requests for repetition by commercial airline pilots.--P. i.
Download or read book Misunderstandings in ATC Communication written by Immanuel Barshi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 271 pages. 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in-depth report of a seminal study in aviation communication, which until now has only been available in the form of an unpublished dissertation.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 Advances in Human Aspects of Aviation written by Steven J. Landry and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the very earliest years of aviation, it was clear that human factors were critical to the success and safety of the system. As aviation has matured, the system has become extremely complex. Bringing together the most recent human factors work in the aviation domain, Advances in Human Aspects of Aviation covers the design of aircrafts for the comfort and well being of the passenger. The book discusses strategies and guidelines for maximizing comfort, the design of aircrafts including cockpit design, and the training and work schedules for flight attendants and pilots. It is becoming increasingly important to view problems not as isolated issues that can be extracted from the system environment, but as embedded issues that can only be understood as a part of an overall system. In keeping with a system that is vast in its scope and reach, the chapters in this book cover a wide range of topics, including: Interface and operations issues from the perspectives of pilots and air traffic controllers, respectively. Specific human performance issues, studied from within the context of the air transportation system Issues related to automation and the delineation of function between automation and human within the current and future system The U.S. air traffic modernization effort, called NextGen Diverse modeling perspectives and methods Safety and ethics as driving factors for change Cognition and work overload Empirical research and evaluation of the air transportation domain As air traffic modernization efforts begin to vastly increase the capacity of the system, the issues facing engineers, scientists, and other practitioners of human factors are becoming more challenging and more critical. Reflecting road themes and trends in this field, the book documents the latest research in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1998, the International Civil Aviation Organization took a heightened interest in the role of language in airline accidents. Member states agreed to take steps to ensure air traffic control personnel and flight crews involved in flight operations in airspace where the use of the English language is required were proficient in conducting and comprehending radiotelephony communications in English. This report is a compilation of written responses and comments by U.S. pilots from American, Continental, Delta, and United Airlines of their difficulties in international operations. In this report, the pilots' responses to questions 46-53 are presented as a compiled narrative. Their responses had eight major thrusts from which we derived the following five recommendations: (1) Adopt a standard dialect for use in ATC communications. (2) All trainees and current certified professional controllers successfully complete instruction and training in the principles of voice production and articulation as it relates to ATC communication. (3) Define an optimal rate of speech for use by certified professional controllers when communicating with pilots. Research is needed to provide guidance on the optimal rate of speech for different populations of speakers - U.S., Foreign. (4) Develop new standard phraseology for non-routine events. Generally, the controller needs to have the pilot answer one question, "What do you need from me?" The controller would coordinate the appropriate actions to provide the pilot with what is needed. (5) Controllers should be discouraged from using local jargon, slang, idiomatic expressions, and other forms of conversational communications when transmitting messages to pilots. Although colorful and fun, they have no place in air traffic control and diminish situational awareness, can lead to requests for repeat, and otherwise disrupt information transfer."--Report documentation page.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1998, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) took a heightened interest in the role of language in airline accidents. Its Air Navigation Commission was directed to complete the task of strengthening relevant ICAO provisions concerning language requirements. Member states agreed to take steps to ensure air traffic control (ATC) personnel and flight crews involved in flight operations in airspace where the use of the English language is required were proficient in conducting and comprehending radiotelephony communications in English. Since then, ICAO developed its English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements and urged its Members to document their ELP test implementation plans by March 8, 2008. Until all ATC personnel and flight crews involved in flight operations obtain a passing level of ELP, the language-based problems international pilots face is not known. This report is a compilation of written responses and comments by a small focus group of 48 U.S. pilots of their difficulties in international operations."--P. i.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication breakdowns between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATCs) have been identified as primary factors in fatal airplane accidents (Wu et. al., 2019; Bauh & Stolzer, 2018; Ritter, 1996; Eurocontrol, 2011). Although there are various aspects that have affected communication efficiency, language-related issues have been mostly associated with transmissions involved in serious incidents, especially in multicultural flight environments (Sexton & Helmrich, 2000). More than 2,000 people have died in accidents where miscommunication was a primary factor (Bauh & Stolzer, 2018; Patty, 2016). By the year of 2025, the air transportation system is projected to become more complex, and the volume is projected to grow exponentially (Salas & Maurino, 2010). Thus, next generation arrival and terminal operations will require a higher level of collaboration and cooperation between aircrews and ATC and will likely be managed via voice communication (FAA, 2009). Research to investigate communication challenges between pilots and ATCs has been conducted mostly based on existing communication data derived from cockpit voice recorders (CRVs), voluntarily submitted aviation safety incident reports in NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) database, or examination of accident investigations and incident reports (Wu et. al., 2019; Estival et. al., 2016; Mosier et. al., 2013; Sexton & Helmreich, 1999; Morrow et.al., 1993). Methods applied in these studies are primarily subjective and linguistic-related such as interviews, surveys, questionnaires, and conversation analysis (Efthymiou et. al., 2019; Mosier et. al, 2013; Estival & Molesworth, 2012). However, determining the communication challenges in multi-cultural flight environments with objective techniques is still required. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the language-related communication challenges between pilots and ATCs in-flight operations using both objective (physiological) and subjective measures. Objective measures and subjective measures on 15 pilot participants were collected while they were communicating with native and nonnative American-English-speaking ATCs in a simulated flight environment. Flight scenarios included both normal workload and high workload flight conditions. It was determined that native American English speaker pilots' cognitive workload were statistically higher when they were communicating with nonnative ATCs compared to native ATCs in both normal and high workload flight conditions using objective (physiological and acoustic) measures and subjective measures. It was also determined that in some of the flight phases, pilots were more cognitively loaded compared to other phases in both normal and workload flight conditions. Prediction models were developed to quantify pilots' cognitive workload when communicating with native/nonnative ATCs in-flight operations. These prediction models as well as the other results of this study could help allocate various tasks in-flight operations to the aircrew (captain and first officer) more effectively. Ultimately, these efforts could help prevent potential accidents/incidents that would occur due to the communication challenges between pilots and ATCs in multicultural flight environments.
