This article provides an overview of the mental health challenges faced by pilots and air
traffic controllers (ATCs), whose stressful professional lives may negatively impact global …

Objective: A conceptual model is proposed in order to explain pilot performance in
surprising and startling situations. Background: Today's debate around loss of control …

The academic community has extensively studied fault management in dynamical and cyber-
physical systems, leading to the development of various model-based and data …

Objective: This study tested whether simulator-based training of pilot responses to
unexpected or novel events can be improved by including unpredictability and variability in …

Objective The study was designed to investigate whether a simulated unexpected abnormal
flight event can lead to startle and explore differences in behavioral responses between …

Engine failure events during critical phases of flight are a rare yet very real possibility on
commercial aircraft. The response of the pilots to these events is vital to minimizing possible …

Many wireless communications systems found in aircraft lack standard security mechanisms,
leaving them vulnerable to attack. With affordable software-defined radios readily available …

Background: Mnemonic-type startle and surprise procedures were previously proposed to
help pilots cope with startle and surprise in-flight, but effects on performance after procedure …

A probabilistic analysis for the variability of pilot performance was performed to model the
variation in pilot performance during flight training from the viewpoint of reliability theory. We …

There have been significant changes in the requirements for pilots' crew resource
management (CRM) training and the assessment of their nontechnical skills, following a …
