Pilots – We Need Your Help!
Invitation to Participate in Runway Safety Research
July 22nd through August 7th, 2009.
7515 Colshire Drive, McLean, VA 22102
The MITRE Corporation Center for Advanced Aviation System Development
(CAASD) is soliciting the help of 10 pilots for a study to examine the use of
two different airport surface lighting systems. The study will focus on
several aspects of the use of an airport surface lighting system for standard
taxi procedures, as well as while departing and arriving. To build an
effective technology it is important to have pilot participation and input to
help identify issues and develop solutions. The data collected during this
study, as in all our research, is aggregated and de-identified prior to
analysis and reporting. Individual pilots and their input are not
identifiable.

The study is expected to require a half day of participation (9:00 am to
1:00 pm or 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm) and will include introductory briefings,
warm-up flying in the CAASD flight deck simulator, and three blocks of data
collection trials. Pilot opinion data will be collected after each trial. A
$180.00 stipend will be paid, and refreshments will be provided. Any
transportation and lodging costs will be the responsibility of the pilot
volunteer.
Participants must have previous experience as a pilot in FAR Part 121 or
Part 135 operations. Both Captains and First Officers are eligible.
Recently furloughed pilots who have flown within the past 12 months are
eligible.
A current medical certificate is not required, but participants must have
flown as a crewmember in air carrier or on-demand charter operations within
the last 12 months.
If you would be interested in participating in this research please
contact Tracey Kenney at 703-983-1606 or _tkenney@xxxxxxxxxx
(mailto:tkenney@xxxxxxxxx) . Pilots will be scheduled Monday through Friday
of each week,
beginning July 22nd and continuing through August 7th. If you have
availability on more than one day please indicate your scheduling preferences
in
order.
Thank you for your interest and support in the advancement of aviation!
