Abstract

Background: Previous research has indicated that general aviation (GA) pilots may use the sophisticated meteorological information available to them via a variety of Next-Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) based weather products in a manner that actually decreases flight safety.

Methods: The current study examined an education/training method designed to enable GA pilots to use NEXRAD-based products effectively in convective weather situations. The training method was lecture combined with paper-based scenario exercises.

Results: A multivariate analysis of variance revealed that subjects in the training condition performed significantly better than did subjects in the control condition on several knowledge and attitude measures. Subjects in the training condition improved from a mean score of 66% to 80% on the radar-knowledge test and from 62% to 75% on the scenario-knowledge test.

Discussion: Although additional research is needed, these results demonstrated that pilots can benefit from a well-designed education/training program involving specific areas of aviation weather-related knowledge.

评估一个教育/培训模块，以培养驾驶舱天气技术知识。

背景:先前的研究表明，通用航空(GA)飞行员可能会以一种实际上降低飞行安全的方式，通过各种基于下一代天气雷达(NEXRAD)的天气产品，使用他们可以获得的复杂气象信息。方法:目前的研究考察了一种教育/培训方法，旨在使通用航空飞行员能够在对流天气情况下有效地使用基于nexrad的产品。训练方法是讲座与纸本情景练习相结合。结果:多变量方差分析显示，训练组在多项知识和态度测试上的表现显著优于对照组。训练条件下被试在雷达知识测试中的平均得分从66%提高到80%，在场景知识测试中的平均得分从62%提高到75%。讨论:虽然还需要进一步的研究，但这些结果表明，飞行员可以从设计良好的教育/培训计划中受益，该计划涉及航空天气相关知识的特定领域。
