SUMMARY:eVTOL Aircraft User Acceptance
DESCRIPTION:Anna Golendukhina (Embry Riddle Aeronautical University)\n\nAs
  electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft advance toward int
 egration into the national airspace, understanding pilot acceptance of the
  novel technology is essential for ensuring safe and effective operations.
  This study examines pilot perceptions across different pilot demographics
 , focusing on perceived skill transferability, confidence in performing ad
 vanced eVTOL maneuvers, automation preferences, training needs, and willin
 gness to operate eVTOLs in the future. Findings revealed that while pilots
  perceived moderate skill transferability, confidence in executing advance
 d eVTOL maneuvers remained uniformly low across groups. Significant differ
 ences in automation preferences emerged, with Certified Flight Instructors
  favoring higher levels of automation compared to Private Pilots. Pilots e
 xpressed strong preferences for hands-on and simulator-based training, emp
 hasizing the need for experiential learning approaches. Recommendations in
 clude developing tailored training programs and establishing certification
  standards specific to eVTOL operations. The study results offer valuable 
 guidance for regulators, training organizations, and industry stakeholders
  aiming to foster operational readiness and safe eVTOL adoption.\n\nTrack:
