Will Reassess Standards For Low Visibility Approaches To Small Airfields
The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) is recruiting pilots for a study evaluating proposed changes in instrument approach standards. Participants will be scheduled for one 5 hour session at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. The evaluation will include about 4 hours of simulator time flying instrument approaches, which can be logged against instrument currency requirements.
Preflight questionnaires on previous experience will be completed before starting the evaluation. Participants will be paid a $150 stipend for participation and as a completion bonus will receive an additional $100. Transportation and housing during the study are not included and will be the responsibility of the participant. To participate and be paid in this research, participants will be required to provide their Social Security Number. The protection of this information is of the utmost importance and will be handled accordingly.
Participants must have had a flight review within the last two years, be current instrument rated pilots, have at a minimum 4 hours experience using glass cockpit displays and speed tapes with a current medical certificate without a night flight or a color signal control restriction. You must bring with you a Government issued ID (Passport, Driver’s license, Military ID), in addition to your pilot and medical certificates. Participants must certify that they are drug and alcohol free for this study. The data collected during this study will be de-identified prior to analysis and reporting. Individual pilots and their input will not be identifiable.
To participate in this research, please contact Anna Christine Yilmaz at (317) 459-5947 or yilmaza@my.erau.edu. Pilots will be scheduled any day during the week. If you have availability on more than one day please, please indicate your scheduling preferences in order.
