“…This problem has received a great deal of attention from a number of several researchers (for example, see the literature review in Keller, Carney, Xie, Major, & Price, 2017). There has also been interest in testing different types of simulation tools for determining their efficacy in helping pilots detect the danger and react to it faster (e.g., Whitehurst, Brown, Rantz, Nicolai, & Bradley, 2019).…”

“…Weather is a dynamic 3D phenomenon with temporal and spatial characteristics, making it particularly difficult to teach with 2D representations. Ground school weather training with traditional materials does not provide immersive learning experiences, which have been found to enhance effective inflight decision-making (Whitehurst et al, 2019). Highfidelity flight simulators provide immersive experiences but are expensive and are not commonly accessible to the General Aviation (GA) community (Berendschot et al, 2018).…”

This work evaluates augmented reality (AR) training materials for general aviation (GA) weather training. Reviews of GA weather training identify gaps where students lack opportunities to experience weather patterns and lack the ability to correlate weather knowledge in weather-related situations. Three-dimensional (3D) visual models may help close the gaps by visualizing information about weather processes, hazards, and visual cues. A 3D AR thunderstorm model visualizes a single-cell thunderstorm clouds, winds, precipitation, lightning, and advective movement. Preliminary evaluation of the model was conducted through a subject matter expert (SME) review and a usability study. The SME review identified improvements to the model and areas for future content design. The usability study identified usability issues with the model. Insights about the design of weather visualizations are developed into recommendations. The approach will integrate 3D AR models into the weather training curriculum to create interactive print training.
