Traffic Predictions Supporting General Aviation

General Aviation (GA) pilots are responsible to stay well-clear of other traffic and avoid conflicts. This paper outlines a research that is aimed to enlarge the time horizon over which a GA pilot can solve a conflict. This is done by moving beyond state-based predictions to intent-based predictions of flight paths. The idea is to use a stochastic filter with a dynamical model that embeds a not...

Alcohol and General Aviation Accidents.

l i t t l e i m p o r t a n c e or attention has been given to the role of alcohol in civil general aviation accidents. Its significance has never been determined. This is evidenced, for ex­ ample, by most recent authoritative accident statistical reports (2, 3 ). In these statistical reviews, covering 929 general aviation fatal accidents which occurred in the years 1960 and 1961, only eight ca...

Soft Computing in the General Aviation Cockpit

The aviation industry stands to benefit from the technological advances that have come to be known as soft computing. This paper describes how soft computing techniques are being used to improve a pilot’s situational awareness. Of particular interest is the ability of a computer to add value to the raw sensor data, autonomously monitoring the aircraft’s situation for possible anomalies in fligh...
