CANCELED - Measuring Anticipatory Monitoring Skills Using a Crew Briefing Task
DescriptionInadequate monitoring has contributed to aviation accidents and incidents (e.g., see CAST, 2014). One potentially useful approach for mitigating this factor is to identify the skills and knowledge needed for effective anticipatory monitoring and improve their training and assessment. As part of a larger project, we characterized a set of skills and knowledge, developed training and assessment measures, and conducted a study that measured monitoring performance before and after training. We provide an overview of the study and then focus on performance on a generative briefing task. This operationally relevant task required anticipation and monitoring skills to prepare an effective Top of Descent briefing. We describe development of the task, how we coded performance, and the task results. We found that pilots included more information helpful for managing the descent flight path after the tutorial. We also discuss challenges and benefits of developing operationally relevant tasks in a low-fidelity (laptop) instructional setting.
