Aeronautical Decision-Making and University Aviation Association Certified Flight Instructors

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present an analysis of data from a survey instrument mailed to University Aviation Association (UAA) members on the January 1993 roster. The questionnaire was designed to measure the attitudes of UAA members toward pilot judgment and decision-making training, to determine if their attitudes differed based on aviation experience and expertise, and to get their opinions ofpossible constraints to inclusion ofthis training in existing aviation curricula. Part 5 of this survey instrument, which was restricted to responses from those who held a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), focused on how CFI respondents applied Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) training as an instructor or evaluator of student skills and knowledge.
