[JYO] Invitation to Participate in Research on Runway Safety

 
Invitation to Participate in Research on Runway  Safety 

The MITRE Corporation Center for Advanced Aviation System  Development 
(CAASD) 
McLean, Virginia 
MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) is  
soliciting help of pilots for a runway safety simulation study in the second  
half of 
July 2006 (July 17 to 28). This simulation is performed in cooperation  with 
the FAA and evaluates new airport surface safety systems. During this  
simulation, pilots will operate a mid-fidelity flight simulator for a transport 
 type 
aircraft. Participants will perform arrival, departure, and taxi  operations.  
There are no known  risks or physical discomforts associated with this 
simulation beyond those of  ordinary life, and you will be paid $150 
compensation for 
your  participation. During the simulation, eye-gaze information will be 
recorded via  a head-mounted camera, information about equipment can be found 
at 
_http://a-s-l.com/brochures/H6-brochure.pdf_ 
(http://a-s-l.com/brochures/H6-brochure.pdf) . Audio, video, and aircraft 
operations data will be  collected 
during each scenario for later analysis. Your identity will be kept  anonymous 
and not be connected with the data. The simulation duration is about 4  hours. 
Requirements: Commercial pilot  certification and experience flying into or 
out of large, towered airports  within or outside the US (e.g. OEP 35 
airports).  
If you fulfill these requirements, please contact Shannon Bruther at  
703-983-3639 (_sbruther@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:sbruther@xxxxxxxxx) )  for further 
details 
and schedule your participation. During the  scheduling process, you will be 
asked to  provide following information: age, gender, number of flight hours 
during last 6  months, type of most frequently flown aircraft. We will use this 
information to  pair you with another pilot with similar characteristics.  
Thank you for your cooperation!
 
Thank  you,
Shannon Bruther
