A Research and a Result 10th Airbus Flight Safety Conference Barcelona October 2003 Capt. Cor Blokzijl, Aero Lloyd
ESSAI research, ......WHY? Enhanced Safety through Situation Awareness Integration in training. 80 % of all incidents & accidents have Human Factor as contributing factor 88% of these are due to Situation Awareness or loss of SA We should do something about this !
An European research : • Investigate the role of SA & Crisis Management • How to deal with growing complexity of highly • integrated systems • Offer potential training solutions for: • Maintaining & recovering SA • Perform Threat Management (TM)
Research constrain : • Human factors produce psychological terminology for • phenomena, but......... • These notions are supposed to speak for themselves, but.... • nobody dares to ask the actual meaning. • These notions are far to general, without specification. • Therefore the result of the research must be in „PILOT Language“. • Only then the user knows what it means! • Training has to fit into existing training and not • increase cost nor operational time
Research : • Training Analysis Methods : • Activity-based methods were used during the Training Needs • Analysis • Extraction of training objectives identified in literature • Pilots workshops: 1. Generate behaviour strategy for • SA management • 2. Design specific trng needs • Pilots interviews • Questionnaire survey
Research cont. ...... • Result of the Training Need Analysis: • Situation Awareness mind-map • Threat Management mind-map Competency structure
Competency Structure : Information gathering/Monitoring check environment for contradictory facts double x-check as much as possible interrogate stay in the loop Planning/Anticipation defining objectives for each phase not too focused on one goal physical health maintenance Interpretation integration of information into a mental picture, subliminal understanding, 6th sense SituationAwareness Workload management setting priorities regarding situation & control Self awareness clues/signals for LSA self-critique watching one‘s own behaviour Communication crew communication sharing experience identifying other Crew-Members’ LSA accept errors and communicate them
Next step • Constructing the definition of the ESSAI training solution • Design of the training • Construct a common aviation language between scientist • and pilots
S A definition : The perception of the elements within a volume of time and space, the understanding of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future” „Endsley 1988“
Benchmark Scenario ESSAI training Assessment Scenario Exp’tl Group Benchmark Scenario LOFT training Assessment Scenario Control Group Experimental validation :
Attitudes about SA and TM Factors Affecting Situation Awareness (FASA) Real Ideal
Behaviour and Skills Related to SA/TM Behaviour marker systems:
Conclusions from the Data Analysis • Attitudes towards SA / TM • ESSAI had a significant impact on the development ofSA-related attitudes. • After the training EG put increasing emphasis on suchfactors as Information Management, Automaticity, and Interpersonal Dynamic • Behaviour Observation • ESSAI substantially enhances SA but only slightly affects TM • Majority of EG crews moved from the level of Understanding to Projection in the AS • Especially the briefing quality improved and management of distractions became more effective
Aero Lloyd ESSAI Training : • During recurrent training from 010103 till 270703 • 215 pilots received ESSAI training. • ESSAI training consisted of : • 3 hours ESSAI training • 2 hours ESSAI simulator scenario • 45 minutes auto confrontation
Participating pilots experience : Experience Total Time A320 Captains 13120 3219 F/O‘s 5287 2044 Captains : all were converted from conventional aircraft by AEF F/O‘s : 79% were converted from conventional aircraft 21% came from smaller aircraft to AEF
Further results : • The training was relevant to my job and flight safety: • 99% of the pilots indicated YES • The training is useful, all pilots should have a chance to • receive ESSAI training: • Only 1 Captain indicated NO • Would you like additional ESSAI training: • 89% of all pilots indicated YES • 53% requested at least a second simulator session • 88% find regular recurrent or follow-up training • necessary
Recommendations from theResearch • To implement ESSAI training package in existing • training • To follow-up ESSAI training within a time frame • To create a „Train the Trainer“ package ( Aero Lloyd has created • this to enable own ESSAI Training ) • To „spread“ the training to all interested airlines
What is ESSAI training ? A training tool to improve Flight Safety by enhancing S.A. and improving threat management in any cockpit. Quote : „During my 16 years as an Aero Lloyd pilot, no training has surpsrised me in such a positive way as the ESSAI training. A fantastic concept!“ Unquote
