PC-based aviation training devices (PCATDs): research, development and certification
(Massey University, 2011)
This paper examines the development of two PCATD’s (one
helicopter, one fixed-wing) and their eventual certification by CAA.
Certification has demonstrated the potential these devices have for aviation
training in New ...
A pilot test of the effect of mild-hypoxia on unrealistically optimistic risk judgements
(2010)
Although hypoxia is believed to occur above altitudes of 10,000 ft, some have
suggested that effects may occur at lower altitudes. This pilot study explored risk
judgments under conditions of mild hypoxia (simulated ...
New technologies in general aviation
(2010)
This research explored the technological needs of GA pilots at international
levels. Overall, single pilot operators tend to value costs as the most important feature of
any technology, followed by technology that helps ...

Two pilots may be safer than one: The effect of group discussion on perceived invulnerability
(2011)
Although most general aviation (GA) pilots have received training in aviation
decision making, one of the most common causes of GA accidents remains a pilot’s
decision to press-on with a flight, when the safe decision ...
Increased risk of multi-crew operations: examining the effect of group polarisation on perceived invulnerability in general aviation pilots
(2010)
According to the theory of group polarisation, perceived invulnerability could
be greater in multi-crew operations than for single pilots. The purpose of this study was to
measure the level of perceived invulnerability ...
