SURVEY OF PILOTS

CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW COCKPIT WEATHER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

 

Welcome!

 

As a part of the Aviation Weather Information (AWIN) element of NASA’s Aviation Safety Program, Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech are conducting a research led by NASA Langley Research Center, on providing advanced weather information to the aircraft cockpit. The goal of this program is to reduce weather related aviation accidents via new and improved cockpit weather information systems (WIS). A clear understanding of the potential users’ (pilots’) needs is critical for the development of these systems.

 

We would like you to take a few minutes to complete this survey that examines your views of the characteristics of these new systems. Your input is very important, and will provide valuable data for developing user-oriented advanced cockpit weather information systems.

 

Please contact Yesim Sireli (via email: [email protected], or fax: 757-683 5640) if you have questions or comments regarding this survey.

 

Thank you.

 

 

This survey has a unique approach to measure your positive and negative opinions about the new cockpit weather information system. Most questions are two-part questions including one positive and one negative form. The positive question asks what you would feel if a feature were included in the new cockpit weather information system. On the other hand, the negative question asks what you would feel if the same feature were omitted from the new system. It is very important to read the questions carefully, and answer both of them accordingly. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary. All surveys will be de-identified.
