Flight deck automation: Promises and realities

Issues of flight deck automation are multifaceted and complex. The rapid introduction of advanced computer-based technology onto the flight deck of transport category aircraft has had considerable impact both on aircraft operations and on the flight crew. As part of NASA's responsibility to facilitate an active exchange of ideas and information among members of the aviation community, a NASA/FAA/Industry workshop devoted to flight deck automation, organized by the Aerospace Human Factors Research Division of NASA Ames Research Center. Participants were invited from industry and from government organizations responsible for design, certification, operation, and accident investigation of transport category, automated aircraft. The goal of the workshop was to clarify the implications of automation, both positive and negative. Workshop panels and working groups identified issues regarding the design, training, and procedural aspects of flight deck automation, as well as the crew's ability to interact and perform effectively with the new technology. The proceedings include the invited papers and the panel and working group reports, as well as the summary and conclusions of the conference

A Method for the Study of Human Factors in Aircraft Operations

A method for the study of human factors in the aviation environment is described. A conceptual framework is provided within which pilot and other human errors in aircraft operations may be studied with the intent of finding out how, and why, they occurred. An information processing model of human behavior serves as the basis for the acquisition and interpretation of information relating to occurrences which involve human error. A systematic method of collecting such data is presented and discussed. The classification of the data is outlined

Análisis del riesgo para un brote de intoxicación alimentaria estafilocócica.

Para el desarrollo del presente trabajo se ha tomado como referente, información de las bases de datos de la Universidad correspondiente a un artículo científico, sobre un brote de intoxicación alimentaria estafilocócica ocurrido en Las Rosas, Provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. También, se presentaron datos imaginarios que no corresponden a la realidad, y fueron presentados con el fin de desarrollar las actividades propuestas en el diplomado; que, para efectos de la evaluación final, corresponden al desarrollo del Análisis del riesgo como estrategia que permite fortalecer la inocuidad en la producción de alimentos.For the development of this work has been taken as a reference, information of the databases of the University corresponding to a scientific article, about an outbreak of staphylococcal food poisoning occurred in Las Rosas, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina. Also, imaginary data were presented that do not correspond to reality, and they were presented in order to develop the activities proposed in the diploma course; what, For purposes of the final evaluation, they correspond to the development of the Risk Analysis as strategy that allows to strengthen the safety in food production

Simulation Training in U.K. General Aviation: An Undervalued Aid to Reducing Loss of Control Accidents

Analysis of data from 1,007 U.K. general aviation (GA) accidents demonstrates the predominant cause of accidents is loss of control, exacerbated by a lack of recent flying experience. These are long-standing problems that can be targeted effectively with simulation training. Discussion on training strategies in commercial aviation reinforces the logic of introducing simulation training for the GA pilot. Conclusions drawn affirm the notion that GA safety would benefit from implementation of regulated simulation training

Understanding Food Insecurity in Nevada: An Assessment of Food Policy Councils and Their Impacts

This project analyzes food policy councils (FPCs) as new body of stakeholders developing solutions to food system failures in the modern food system. Focusing on the case study of Nevada, this thesis evaluates FPCs and other food system actor’s role in shaping food policy in Nevada, primarily, in alleviating food insecurity in comparison to more traditional interventions. Nevada is a geographically and demographically diverse state that places great pressure on its resources to achieve food security in both urban and rural areas. Survey data was collected from Nevada’s three FPCs, multiple food banks, and other key stakeholders in the food system to generate qualitative data and empirical evidence on the key characteristics of these organizations, and barriers hindering success. The collected data was organized into three categories of successfulness of FPCs, barriers to food policy and urban and rural trends. Through this organization, I was able to discern some barriers and identify potential opportunities to improve the policy conditions and implementation of FPCs in Nevada, which was put into context with additional research. The purpose of my research was to fill the gap in research done specifically on Nevada’s FPCs and organizations involved in food policy on a state level. I offered two recommendations based on my research to increase food policy actor’s collaboration and for Nevada FPCs to better achieve past cited potentials of other FPCs in the United States
