Visual Flight Rules (vfr) Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (imc): a Review of the Accident Data
General Aviation (GA) accident statistics indicate that visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is a major safety hazard within general aviation. Little research has been conducted to identify the factors that influence VFR pilots’ decisions to risk flying into deteriorating weather. As accident reports provide a naturalistic source of such information, ...
متن کاملPilots’ Decisions to Continue Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Flight into Adverse Weather: Effects of Distance Traveled and Flight Experience
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) is a major safety hazard within general aviation. In this study, pilots' decisions to continue or divert from a VFR flight into IMC during a dynamic simulation of a crosscountry flight were examined. Pilots encountered IFR conditions either early or later into the flight and the amount of time and distance pilots f...
متن کاملEffects of Advanced Cockpit Displays on General Aviation Pilots’ Decisions to Continue Visual Flight Rules Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions
Thirty pilots flew a simulated VFR cross country flight into deteriorating weather with one of three levels of display support: a control display with standard instruments, a synthetic vision system (SVS) display depicting terrain and a highway in the sky (HITS), and a configuration in which the same SVS HITS display was augmented by an electronic moving map depicting weather. Results revealed ...
متن کاملThe ‘where’ and the ‘why’ of Cross-country Vfr Crashes: Database and Simulation Analyses
General Aviation (GA) accidents involving ‘VFR into IMC’ continue to be a major source of fatalities with a fatality rate more than four times greater than for GA accidents in general. We report two studies into the causes of cross-country weather-related accidents. In the first study we analyse the records of 77 New Zealand crashes where it could be determined that the aircraft was on a cross-...
متن کاملPreliminary Effect of Synthetic Vision Systems Displays to Reduce Low-Visibility Loss of Control and Controlled Flight Into Terrain Accidents
An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effectiveness of Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) flight displays as a means of eliminating Low Visibility Loss of Control (LVLOC) and Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents by low time general aviation (GA) pilots. A series of basic maneuvers were performed by 18 subject pilots during transition from Visual Meteorological Conditio...
