This article focuses on the black box that is becoming smaller, smarter, and more useful as a safety tool in the aviation sector. Although endurance regulations have gone virtually unchanged for several years since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) first required the units on all commercial aircraft, the most notable has been the advent of digital recording technology. Digital recorders can record more parameters over longer periods of time using less energy than older magnetic tape recordings. Today, this kind of information is used not only to investigate an aviation accident, but to increase the safety of flying at a time when air traffic has grown significantly. The FAA is conducting a FOQA Demonstration Study in cooperation with major U.S. airlines. Based on digital flight data recordings, the study provided information on items such as unusual autopilot disconnects excessive rotation rates on takeoff, unstabilized approaches, and hard landings.

Risk Investment

Background: The reform and innovation of recording technology has resulted in recording becoming an exciting, developing project. Against the background of Internet +, traditional analogue technology has developed into digital recording technology, playing an important role in various fields. Venture capital in digital recording technology projects has also attracted attention from all circles. Objective: This paper aims to, by sorting out literature on venture capital, analyze the measurement method of project investment risk, and then, after analyzing the risk factors existing in the investment of digital recording technology under the “Internet +”, propose measures to control these risk factors. At the same time, taking CY company as an example, the investment risk prevention strategy of digital recording technology project is applied to the risk investment evaluation practice of CY company. Methods: This paper reviews and comments the literature on venture capital, and sorts out the evaluation methods of project investment risk. After studying the project investment risk of digital recording technology, this paper finds out the preventive strategies to deal with these risks, and applies them to risk investment evaluation of CY. This paper proposes investment suggestions basing on various factors, and makes an overall evaluation of the value of digital recording technology project, which hopefully will act as a reference for venture capital institutions when investing in digital recording technology in the future. Results: The countermeasures against investment risks in digital recording technology projects are: 1. Identification of countermeasures against investment risks in digital recording technology projects. 2. Encouragement and promotion of joint-stock cooperation and reduction of operational risks 3. Establishment and improvement of financial risk control. Conclusion: Digital technology, which is continuously improving, has penetrated recording technology. With mindful awareness of investment risks and careful investment in recording technology projects, digital technology can improve living standards while making the flexibility and form of recording work more artistic and enabling recording technology to reach new heights.

And Performance

The primary mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is to maintain the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS). As part of this mission, the FAA is tasked with ensuring that future air traffic controllers are adequately trained to perform the high-risk job of directing air traffic. The FAA Academy curriculum for newly hired controllers involves 3-4 months of intensive lessons and performance assessments. It has been suggested that this training program is quite stressful, and successful trainees tend to be those who can better manage stress. To support ATC trainees, researchers at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) have conducted operational research to develop and evaluate a stress management training to help trainees manage their stress during training at the FAA Academy.

Airport Terminal

Air traffic flow management is the key to evaluate airspace capacity reasonably and accurately. Based on the flight features of terminal route intersection, this paper builds a mathematical model for scattered flight of departure aircraft, and then evaluates the terminal capacity based on this model. By combining data from Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and flight schedule with the model, an example-runway 02R of Guangzhou Baiyun airport terminal was given to show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Turbulence Data

AbstractThe statistical properties of turbulence at upper levels in the atmosphere [upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)] are still not well known, partly because of the lack of adequate routine observations. This is despite the obvious benefit that such observations would have for alerting aircraft of potentially hazardous conditions, either in real time or for route planning. To address this deficiency, a research project sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration has developed a software package that automatically estimates and reports atmospheric turbulence intensity levels (as EDR ≡ ε1/3, where ε is the energy or eddy dissipation rate). The package has been tested and evaluated on commercial aircraft. The amount of turbulence data gathered from these in situ reports is unprecedented. As of January 2014, there are ~200 aircraft outfitted with this system, contributing to over 137 million archived records of EDR values through 2013, most of which were taken at cruise levels of commercial aircraft, that is, in the UTLS. In this paper, techniques used for estimating EDR are outlined and comparisons with pilot reports from the same or nearby aircraft are presented. These reports allow calibration of EDR in terms of traditionally reported intensity categories (“light,” “moderate,” or “severe”). The results of some statistical analyses of EDR values are also presented. These analyses are restricted to the United States for now, but, as this program is expanded to international carriers, such data will begin to become available over other areas of the globe.

Training Efficiency

The Federal Aviation Administration has embarked on a major curriculum redesign effort to improve the training efficiency of en route air traffic controllers. Included in this effort was a comprehensive cognitive task analysis conducted in several phases, spanning several years. Eight different types of data collection and analysis procedures were used, resulting in an integrated model of controller expertise. This paper provides a description of controller expertise, and describes the training program under development. This is one of the first examples of cognitive task analysis being applied to study expertise in complex cognitive tasks performed in time-constrained, multi-tasking environments.
