Assessment of cognitive decision-making with the use of wearable technology by general aviation pilots conducting pre- and post-flight aircraft inspectionsConstant-Coup, Katherine Leigh 13 December 2024 (has links) (PDF)
The use of electronic devices has grown in varying demographics of aviation pilots over the last 20 years. In the General Aviation (GA) industry, pilots have started to use personal devices like tablet computers as part of their regular flight routines. This dissertation focuses on three specific research questions to determine the significance of technological adoption by GA pilots for defect detection as part of standard inspection protocols. The mixed-studies approach in this dissertation investigates pilots’ perspectives on using electronic devices common to Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs), and what level of acceptance the current generation of pilots may have toward wearable technology that may aid in inspections. Additionally, this dissertation explores training needs for GA pilots to adequately adopt proposed technology for improved inspection protocols, as well as improve overall situational awareness. Lastly, this research intends to understand what boundaries there are in terms of visual inspections of GA aircraft by both pilots and Airframe and Propulsion (A&P) mechanics, and how these roles could improve communication of defects and hazards seen in each of their respectable inspection processes. The outcome of this research could lead to informing future policy, design, and training considerations for modern introductions of technology in supporting key aviation safety activities.

Electronic Flight Bag / Electronic Flight BagKúšik, Lukáš January 2021 (has links)
Cieľom tejto diplomovej práce je vytvoriť Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) aplikáciu pre mobilné telefóny s operačným systémom Android. Pre splnenie tejto úlohy bola preskúmaná aktuálna legislatíva ohľadom EFB aplikácií spolu s najmodernejšími EFB aplikáciami dostupnými na aplikačnom trhu. Na základe týchto informácií je navrhnutá a implementovaná EFB aplikácia určená pre pilotov všeobecného letectva. Výsledný produkt obsahuje funkcie pre plánovanie letu, vlastnú leteckú mapu, pilotný denník, katalóg letísk s dátami z celého sveta a ďalšie. Podpora offline zaručuje funkčnosť v reálnych podmienkach letu. Konečný produkt sa taktiež snaží inovovať nad existujúcimi EFB aplikáciami zahrnutím funkcionalít, akými sú napríklad automatické kontrolné zoznamy a náhľad v rozšírenej realite.
