[JYO] MITRE CAASD is looking for pilots with all levels of experience

 
Make a difference in advancing runway  safety systems and cockpit design! 

MITRE’s Center for Advanced Aviation System  Development (CAASD) is 
soliciting participation for a study to evaluate flight  deck-based runway 
safety 
technologies.  In coordination with the FAA, RTCA Special Committee 186, and 
line 
pilot  organizations (the Airline Pilots Association, ALPA and the Independent 
Pilots  Association, IPA) MITRE CAASD is developing requirements for advanced  
indications and alerts on Cockpit Displays of Traffic Information (CDTI). By  
processing Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) data, this  
research identifies display and alerting options to reduce runway incursions 
and  
collisions in the airport environment. Pilot input is needed to address the  
human factors issues. 
Participants will operate a  medium-fidelity, fixed-base simulator with a 120 
degree out-of-window view.  Simulations consist of landing, taxi,  and 
departure operations in multiple scenarios over the course of approximately  4 
hours.  The study will take place  between March 18th and April 4th, 2008.  
MITRE CAASD is looking for pilots with all levels of  experience, from 
private pilots to transport pilots.  Simulator training will be  provided. 
After completion of the simulation,  participants will be asked to come back 
to MITRE CAASD for a focus group meeting  in April, 2008.  The purpose of this 
 session will be to assess the operational experiences during the simulation 
and  to provide input into the continuing development of alerting and display  
options.  This will also take about  4 hours and will be scheduled after 
simulation participation has been  confirmed. 
Participants will be compensated $200 for  the two sessions.  If only the  
simulation is completed, a lesser compensation will be provided. 
We look forward to your participation. For  scheduling, please contact 
Charmaigne Burriss at 703-983-2850 or _cburriss@xxxxxxxxxx 
(mailto:cburriss@xxxxxxxxx) . For any questions about the simulation itself, 
contact Peter  Moertl at 
703-983-1080 or _pmoertl@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:pmoertl@xxxxxxxxx) .
 
Thanks,
