OBSERVING ON-DEMAND AIRCREW TRANSITIONING FROM PAPER TO ELECTRONIC FLIGHT BAGS: THE IMPACT ON WORKLOAD Charla L. Long, Ph.D. Federal Aviation Administration Oklahoma City, OK Kevin M. Gildea, Ph.D. Federal Aviation Administration Oklahoma City, OK The introduction of electronic flight bags (EFBs) for flight crew use has reduced the overall workload, except in some situations if not designed properly or employed effectively. Researchers from the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) undertook an observational study combined with crew interviews to assess overall flight crew operations including flight demands, procedures, and the methods the crews used to integrate EFBs into all aspects of their flights from preflight planning to postflight debrief. The researchers also examined the EFB applications (apps) themselves for general usability and developed some recommendations for ways EFB use in operations could be improved.

  • RCED-91-152 Meeting the Aviation Challenges of the 1990S
    144321I I Preface In the past, we have reported on a wide variety of complex and contro- versial aviation issues, including the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) modernization of the nation’s air traffic control system, the training needs of air traffic controllers and the staffing needs of that work force, FAA'S oversight of aviation safety, improvements in airport security, aircraft noise, and airline competition. Although the Congress, the Department of Transportation (nor), and FAA have taken positive actions on these issues, some will remain problematic. At the same time, new problems will develop to challenge the effectiveness of the nation’s aviation system. To better understand and deal with the long-standing aviation issues and to examine emerging issues, we convened a conference on November 29 and 30,199O. The conference brought together 23 leading aviation experts from the Congress, the administration, the aviation industry, and academia to provide their perspectives on the problems facing the aviation community. To help the speakers frame these issues, in advance of the conference we suggested general topics for them to discuss, including (1) FAA'S organization and management, (2) airspace management and air traffic control, (3) aviation safety, (4) airport capacity and security, and (5) airline competition and consumer protec- tion. The conference speakers not only brought new understanding to these subjects, but also raised major points for the Congress, DOI', and FAA to consider when addressing both long-standing and new problems facing the aviation system. Consequently, we are issuing this report to make the results of the conference and the speakers’ presentations available to a larger audience.

  • FAA ASIAS Final Report
    FAA Has Made Progress in Implementing ASIAS, but Work Remains To Better Predict, Prioritize, and Communicate Safety Risks Report No. AV2021022 March 10, 2021 FAA Has Made Progress in Implementing ASIAS, but Work Remains To Better Predict, Prioritize, and Communicate Safety Risks Mandated by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 Federal Aviation Administration | AV2021022 | March 10, 2021 What We Looked At To enhance safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the aviation industry use data to proactively detect risks and implement mitigation strategies before accidents and incidents occur. Since 2007, FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) program has drawn together a wide variety of safety data and information across Government and industry to identify emerging, systemic safety issues. In 2013, we reported that FAA had made progress implementing ASIAS, but the system lacked advanced capabilities, and aviation safety inspectors’ access to ASIAS confidential data remained limited. The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 directed our office to perform a follow-up review to assess FAA’s progress in improving ASIAS. Our objectives were to assess FAA’s (1) progress with implementing ASIAS and plans to improve the system, including its predictive capabilities, and (2) efforts to more widely disseminate results of ASIAS data analyses. What We Found FAA has made progress in implementing ASIAS since our 2013 review, but work remains to improve the program. For example, by September 2020, ASIAS grew to include data from 41 airlines, which according to FAA represents 99 percent of air carrier operations. However, FAA has not yet established a robust process for prioritizing analysis requests.
