“…If flight students are unable to pass these examinations, it is documented in the Pilot Records Database and may hinder their ability to pursue their career as a professional pilot. Students report that the FAA practical examinations are their most significant source of stress over other common stressors, such as written examinations, time management, and family expectations (Robertson & Ruiz, 2010).…”

“…Career fields that are highly stressful may involve daily threats of life and death (e.g., police officers and warfighters) or severe consequences in the event of a mistake (e.g., miners, airline pilots, and surgeons; Cranwell-Ward & Abbey, 2005). Several studies (e.g., Johnson et al, 2005, Robertson & Ruiz, 2010) have leveraged physiological responses to stress to measure daily stress levels in high intensity career fields, such as when Seoane et al, (2014) measured the mental stress of combatants in real time.…”

Health information like heart rate (HR) and electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns are available to the public on smartwatches; however, there may be a disconnect between these health measures and how users subjectively experience feelings of stress. This study examines the health detection features of two leading smartwatches in the industry, the Apple Watch Series 6 and Fitbit Sense, to determine if these devices may be used to accurately measure stress. Participants engaged in a multi-tasking program (MATB-II) that varied in cognitive workload demand while wearing smartwatches measuring cardiac data. Subjective workload responses resulted in significant differences between low and high workload conditions, indicating an increase in stress. However, both smartwatches were unable to detect significant differences in stress responses between low and high workload conditions. Overall, these results indicate that smartwatch HR and ECGs may not reflect internal feelings of stress and are sensitive to variability in measurement.

Collegiate education and training prepare students to enter the workforce, and the collegiate experience should reflect practices in use within an industry. Collegiate aviation combines academic and practical experience with the integration of an industry-standard safety emphasis from the beginning of training. One facet of this safety emphasis, safety reporting, is an integral part of safety management systems (SMS) used in professional aviation. This study examined the differences in the perceptions of safety reporting systems between the pilots of a U.S. major air carrier and the collegiate students enrolled in the aviation program at a U.S. university. A crosssectional survey was used to collect data from these two groups. Statistical analysis found that collegiate aviation students and airline pilots witnessed a similar number of safety-related issues during the study period. Airline pilots submitted safety reports with greater frequency than did students. Collegiate aviation students in this study indicated that report confidentiality concerns were a factor in this lower reporting rate. The study also found that the perceived effectiveness of organizational safety policies and procedures is influenced by, and inversely proportional to, the number of safety-related issues witnessed by study participants.
