Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Falaleev, Sergei V.; Melentjev, Vladimir S.; Gvozdev, Alexander S. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
The paper presents a methodology which helps to avoid a great amount of costly experimental research. This methodology includes thermo-gas dynamic design of an engine and its mounts, the profiling of compressor flow path and cascade design of guide vanes. Employing a method elaborated by Howell, we provide a theoretical solution to the task of…

Dyen, Fred D. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The program described in this paper is the essential first step in reviving and reinitiating the delivery of aviation maintenance technology instruction. The demand for aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) is rapidly increasing and there is a need to provide as many as 679,000 AMTs over the next 20 years (Boeing, 2016). Given the high cost of…

Euphrasio, P. C. S.; Faria, L. A.; Germano, J. S. E.; Hirata, Daisy – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
This article describes the implementation of a remote access experiment, called Web-lab 1553B (Digital Data Bus Lab), for courses in the Avionics Systems Program. Its main objective is to present a study about the use of two rotation model subgroups: 1) rotation laboratory and 2) station rotation. In the "rotation laboratory" subgroup,…

Lee, Seung Yong; Bates, Paul R.; Murray, Patrick S.; Martin, Wayne L. – International Journal of Training Research, 2017
Threat and Error Management (TEM) training, endorsed and recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), was mandated in Australia with the aim of improving aviation safety. However, to date, there has been very limited, if any, formal post-implementation review, assessment or evaluation to examine the "after-state"…

Pourdehnad, John; Smith, Peter A. C. – Learning Organization, 2012
Purpose: While the importance of organizational learning for sustainability has been stressed by a number of authors in the literature, the practicalities of how organizational leaders might foster such learning are seldom treated. This paper seeks to demonstrate that there is much that could be learned from the aviation industry about…

The Role of Visual Occlusion in Altitude Maintenance during Simulated Flight
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gray, R.; Geri, G. A.; Akhtar, S. C.; Covas, C. M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
The use of visual occlusion as a cue to altitude maintenance in low-altitude flight (LAF) was investigated. The extent to which the ground surface is occluded by 3-D objects varies with altitude and depends on the height, radius, and density of the objects. Participants attempted to maintain a constant altitude during simulated flight over an…
