Zusatztext 'Kudos to the authors for successfully marrying the results of hard-core! academic studies conducted in the laboratory with analyses of data from real ATC transcripts! to produce tangible recommendations that can be directly put into practice in the field. An insightful book that will appeal to academics and practitioners alike! and is sure to make a difference in improving the effectiveness of pilot-controller communication.' Loukia Loukopoulos! Error Management! Europe 'This multi-method book is informative as well as easy and fun to read. The authors include an excellent mix of using real world data and laboratory research to understand ATC-pilot communication. Students in many different areas of research can learn from this example of converging methods. Those involved in the field! especially those with power to make changes in prescribed routines! should read this book.' Vivian Schneider! University of Colorado at Boulder! USA 'The 252-page book comprehensively reviews the aviation communication literature! reports an efficient experimental method to investigate the aspects of aviation speech and listening at play! and delivers solid recommendations to address real-world aviation miscommunications.' Hindsight! vol. 18 Winter 2013 'a well-balanced combination of theoretical and practical work to the fields of aviation! human factors! and psychology. ... contribute[s] significantly to the previously existing body of knowledge ... I would highly recommend this exceptional book' International Journal of Aviation! Aeronautics! and Aerospace! Volume 1! Issue 2! July 2014 Informationen zum Autor Immanuel Barshi is a Senior Principal Investigator in the Human Systems Integration Division at NASA Ames Research Center. His current research addresses cognitive issues involved in the skilled performance of astronauts and pilots, as well as mission controllers and air traffic controllers, their ability to manage challenging situations, and their vulnerability to error. Among the topics investigated by his research group are spatial reasoning, decision making, risk assessment, communication, and skill acquisition and retention. The results of his work have been implemented in checklist design, operational procedures, and training programs in space, aviation, medicine, and nuclear facilities. Dr. Barshi holds PhDs in Linguistics and in Cognitive Psychology. He has published books and papers in basic and applied psychology, linguistics, and aviation. He holds Airline Transport Pilot certificate with A320, A330, B737, and CE500 Type Ratings; he is also a certified flight instructor for airplanes and helicopters, with over 35 years of flight experience. Candace Farris is a doctoral candidate at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Her current research addresses interaction between controllers and pilots in radio communication, with the objective of identifying skills required for successful communication in the global aviation context. Her findings are applicable to the field of aviation communications training and assessment for native and non-native speakers alike. Candace has over 10 years experience in aviation, having worked in the airline industry and as a consultant for the International Civil Aviation Organization. Klappentext Effective radio communication between ATC and pilots has long been recognized as an important element of aviation safety. In recognition of the role miscommunications play in aviation incidents and accidents, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently introduced language proficiency requirements for all flight personnel in all ICAO member states. Using an effective and economical experimental paradigm, the research described here teases apart the complex combination of factors (e.g. speech rate, controller message length, English language proficiency, cognitive workload) believed to contribute to miscommunications between cont...
