Abstract In recent years, civil drones have become more and visible in everyday life. There are numerous reports the media covering a variety of drone aspects technical developments. addition, everyone is used to bird’s-eye views as common features television, movies photography. However, little known about how public perceives this development. This article results representative national study on acceptance civilian drones. Overall, balanced but slightly positive attitude towards was...

In about 15 years, there is likely to be urban air mobility (UAM) in larger cities across the globe. Air taxis will provide on-demand transportation for individual needs. They also connect important nodes, such as airports and city centers, well providing quick transfers between train stations or a convenient option crossing rivers lakes. It hoped that UAM help meet today’s political targets of sustainability decarbonization. However, are certain threats could impede sustainable thus...

In recent years, civil drones have become increasingly present in the media and everyday life. However, public acceptance of still seems limited, with rates usually ranging around 50%. This contribution reports findings about civilian drones. Several factors influencing attitude towards are described here, such as certain drone applications concerns general, special consideration given to noise. Moreover, an effect NIMBYism is confirmed, even residents who envision using for delivery parcels...

The job of an air traffic controller (ATCO) is very specific and demanding. assessment potential suitable candidates requires a customized efficient selection procedure. German Aerospace Center DLR conducts highly selective, multiple-stage procedure for ab initio ATCO applicants the Air Navigation Service Provider DFS. Successful start their training with phase at DFS Academy then continue unit in live traffic. validity studies are scarcely reported international scientific literature have...

In recent years, civil drones have become increasingly present in the media and everyday life. There has been a high level of interest drone delivery from very beginning, yet public acceptance still seems limited, with rates usually ranging 30 to 40%. The paper reports findings representative national study about civilian Germany. Several factors limiting support are identified, such as concerns traffic safety, noise, animal welfare. addition, gender effects discussed, showing female...

The technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e., civilian drones) continues to improve and concepts operations are being developed. Against this background, the importance public acceptance has grown number studies on subject increased in recent years. In context as a follow-up study by Eißfeldt colleagues [1], representative telephone survey drones Germany was conducted at end 2022. addition re-evaluating attitude towards general, current particularly examined use case air taxis. It found...

In the future in aviation, operators will have to work with highly automated systems. This increased level of automation necessitate monitoring appropriately (OMA). To prepare training and selection processes, a normative model was developed providing criteria for identification OMA. According this model, process comprises distinct phases which attention should be focused on relevant areas. The present study tests experienced human aviation basis their eye movements. Results from 21...

Looking ahead, in about 20 years, there is likely to be urban air mobility larger cities across the globe. If economic predictions come true, thousands of taxi flights will take place daily capital – not only megacities. Noise generated by flight has been identified as a critical factor this development. A concept proposed help raise tolerance level for noise among communities well individual residents means transparency. This views stakeholders and widens call continuous measurements...

Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) operations in civil aviation are not only increasing number but also their scope of application, ranging from emergency missions for public authorities to commercial uses such as agricultural spraying. After years varying levels in-house training, the continuous growth RPA indicates that qualification and training concepts remote pilots required. In this novel study undertaken part an interdisciplinary research project on German Aerospace Center, pilot...

In the future of aviation, operators will have to work with highly automated systems. This necessitates monitoring appropriately (OMA). A theoretical model for adequate behavior was developed and eye movement parameters were defined identify OMA. The present eye-tracking study focused on differences in between experts (experienced pilots air traffic controllers) job applicants. Results from 21 33 applicants are reported.

Comparing today's control rooms or cockpits to those of about 30 years ago clearly shows huge differences in hard- and software, making changes psychological requirements more than reasonable. To identify ability for operators future aviation is some concern when learning solutions envisaged with large scale programs like NextGen SESAR. However, as systems evolve step by sometimes without much notice, it might be that retrospect requirement are assessed being only minor magnitude, whereas...

In his article Ray King offers the distinction of select in and out as underlying structures for a concept personality assessment pilot selection. This helps to cleave way through ...

This study examines the impact of providing Air Traffic Control at a smaller aerodrome in Remote TWR on ATCO's ability requirement profiles and their training. 6 Controllers (60% licensed controllers) from DFS RTC Centre Leipzig operating Saarbruecken airport operations remotely since December 2018 were interviewed took part an requirements analysis based Fleishman Job Analysis Survey. The paper includes outline DFS's ATC operations, results interviews first comparison for air traffic...

Civil drones are becoming ever more present in public perception. Ranging from parcel delivery to wildlife protection and precision farming law enforcement, many applications said have market-changing potential. Against this background, nations institutions around the world trying keep up with dynamic technological developments by means of rules regulations. Since all parties involved expect a strong increase both number range their uses, there is rising interest acceptance these vehicles....

In a telephone survey on the acceptance of civilian drones in Germany conducted at end 2022 certain part questions was dedicated to air taxis explicitly. While attitude towards tended be slightly more positive than preceding study, again nationwide representative study attitudes concerning were revealed relatively balanced, with slight negative tendency. Inferential statistical analyses showed factors such as age, gender, active experience drones, and interest environmental protection...
