| Abstract | This research has two main phases. Phase 1 investigated three major questions: 1. Do video weather training products significantly affect general aviation (GA) pilot weather knowledge and flight behavior in marginal meteorological conditions? 2. How are modern Web-based weather products used during GA preflight briefing? 3. Do local Oklahoma GA pilots differ appreciably from other pilots in either weather knowledge or weather-related flight behavior? Fifty GA pilots took a general weather knowledge pre-test, followed by exposure to either one of two weather training videos (the Experimental groups) or to a video having nothing to do with weather (the Control group). They next took a post-test to measure knowledge gain induced by the training product. Finally, they planned for, and flew, a simulated flight mission through marginal weather from Amarillo, TX, to Albuquerque, NM. |
