Article describes the approach to selection of technology development directions during planning of complex science and technology programs in aviation. The approach involves identifying (1) product requirements, (2) alternative product concepts to meet the requirements and (3) technology portfolios and their comparison by risks, costs and time required to reach implementation readiness status. The results of testing the approach are presented in respect to the TRL-based ranking of alternative concepts of future general aviation aircraft by relative level of technical risks.

This paper discusses a top-down analysis methodology for the design, development and evaluation of advanced technological systems like those being considered for General Aviation Free Flight and also the Advanced General Aviation Technology Experiment (AGATE). A current project sponsored by the FAA's Civil Aeromedical Institute is being introduced as an example.

The Relationship

Abstract. Identifying pilot attributes associated with risk is important, especially in general aviation where pilot error is implicated in most accidents. This research examined the relationship of pilot age, expertise, and cognitive functioning to deviations from an ideal circuit trajectory. In all, 54 pilots, of varying age, flew a Cessna 172 simulator. Cognitive measures were obtained using the CogScreen-AE ( Kay, 1995 ). Older age and lower levels of expertise and cognitive functioning were associated with significantly greater flight path deviations. The relationship between age and performance was fully mediated by a cluster of cognitive factors: speed and working memory, visual attention, and cognitive flexibility. These findings add to the literature showing that age-related changes in cognition may impact pilot performance.
