“…Therefore, although the cruise is the lengthiest flight stage, issues with both risk perception and communication were more frequently recorded in the phases of approach and landing. This is confirmed by literature suggesting that during those phases, human involvement prevails and workload varies, changes influence situational awareness in the operational status ( 62 ), and environmental factors affect an aircraft’s status during the final approach ( 63 ). In general, the final approach and landing have been tagged as the most complicated flight stages, where most accidents take place ( 64 – 66 ).…”

Although effective risk management during operations relies on risk perception and risk communication, the aviation industry has not systematically considered the contribution of these two constructs to safety events. This study analyzed a representative sample of safety investigation reports (1) to identify the degree to which risk perception and communication and their factors have been influential overall and across various flight operation stages of investigated events, and (2) to examine whether their contribution has changed with time. The analysis of 140 reports showed environmental factors affected risk communication and perception most frequently, whereas emotional and physiological factors were found in the sample with very low frequencies. Also, risk communication and perception and their factors did not appear with the same frequency across the various flight stages, and a few variations were observed over time. The aviation industry could consider the results of this study to steer its efforts toward mitigating the adverse effects of factors related to ineffective risk perception and communication. This could include the inclusion of respective factors in safety reporting schemes, investigation methods and analyses and, possibly, a tailored approach to the various flight stages and targeted risk literacy interventions.

This study investigated the effects of age group, interface type, and key area on accuracy, usability, the change of critical fusion frequency, and subjective visual fatigue in Taiko no Tatsujin game playing. Four groups divided by age (young adult, adult, middle‐aged adult, and senior citizen), two types of interface (solid and touch), and two types of key areas (approximately 1.1 and 0.6 cm2) were investigated in the experiment. The results showed significant differences for age group on accuracy, especially for young adults and senior citizens. The solid interface demonstrated better accuracy and usability and less subjective visual fatigue than the touch interface. The approximately 1.1 cm2 key indicated better performance than the 0.6 cm2 key in all indexes. It is inferred that the solid interface with the 1.1 cm2 key had better performance. Therefore, mobile phones with a larger key area are more suitable for game playing.

“…These studies have used a variety of methods to measure workload, such as NASA-TLX (11,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), eye-tracking (11), electroencephalography (EEG) (26), and pupil diameter recordings (24). Some studies have focused on the effect of specific factors, such as automation tools (23,25) and communication delays (31), on workload, whereas others have examined the relationship between workload and operational performance (11,24,30,32,33). Other studies have examined the effect of workload on situational awareness (SA) in human-machine systems.…”

Pseudo-pilots work in real-time simulations in air traffic control training and carry out an important task to ensure appropriate training for the trainee controllers. They are in constant communication with controllers during the training and are responsible for fulfilling the instructions given by the controllers. Unlike real operations, pseudo-pilots are required to monitor many aircraft simultaneously on the simulator’s radar screen and perform various interventions. This situation can be challenging, and the impact of such situations on their workload is usually neglected. In the literature, various studies have revealed the factors affecting controller workload; however, the factors affecting the workload of pseudo-pilots have not been emphasized. In this study, statistical analyses were carried out using the data obtained from real-time simulations and NASA-TLX surveys. As a result, the number of aircraft, controller performance, and the interruption duration were determined as the key factors that affect the overall workload of pseudo-pilots.
