Abstract:
This thesis examines whether there is a relation between personality traits and pilot stress responses to non-normal events in simulated flight training. The research was conducted at, and in cooperation with, the Lund University School of Aviation (LUSA). An observational design was employed: a convenience sample of 15 pilot students (14 male, 1 female) was observed during a simulation training session with 4 stressful events. Collected data included perceived and observed stress, as well as the physiological stress markers heart rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity (EDA). The ‘Big Five’ personality factors, neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness were assessed by the revised NEO personality inventory 3 (NEO-PI-3). Physiological measures had to be excluded based on data quality. Correlational analysis indicated a positive correlation from neuroticism to perceived stress, and a negative correlation to said stress for agreeableness.Correlations held for only one out of four events however. For the event, a follow-up regression analysis did not show the factors as insignificant predictors. Likewise, extraversion was negatively correlated to observed stress, but only for one event. While the correlations can be argued to individually support the existence of a relation, lack of coherence across the events oppose this. Results are discussed, relative to previous research. The tentative indications from this study need to be examined by further research.
Den här avhandlingen undersöker huruvida det finns en relation mellan personlighetsdrag ochpiloters stress från icke-normala händelser under simulerad flygträning. Forskningen utfördesvid, och i samarbete med, Lunds Universitet Trafikflyghögskolan (TFHS). Enobservations-design användes: ett bekvämlighetsurval på 15 pilotstudenter (14 män, 1 kvinna) observerades under en simulerad träning med 4 stressande händelser. Insamlad datainkluderade upplevd stress, observerad stress och de fysiologiska stressmarkörernahjärtfrekvensvariabilitet (HFV) samt elektrodermal aktivitet (EDA). Femfaktormodellens femfaktorer neuroticism, extraversion, öppenhet, vänlighet och samvetsgrannhet bedömdes förvarje deltagare med det reviderade ‘NEO personality inventory 3’ (NEO-PI-3). På grund av dålig kvalité uteslöts de fysiologiska stressmåtten. Korrelationsanalys visade på en positivkorrelation mellan neuroticism och upplevd stress, och en negativ korrelation till samma stress från vänlighet. Dessa korrelationer gällde endast för en av fyra av de stressandehändelserna. En uppföljande regressionsanalys för händelsen visade att faktorerna inte var signifikanta prediktorer. Extraversion visade sig negativt korrelerat mot observerad stress, men också bara mot en av händelserna. Individuellt kan korrelationerna argumenteras stödja bilden av en relation mellan personlighet och stress, men att de inte är konsekventa över de olika händelserna motsäger detta. Resultatet diskuteras relativt tidigare forskning. Dessa preliminära indikationer behöver undersökas av vidare forskning.

The Commander Naval Air Forces is analyzing the entire Naval Aviation training process to deliver the same quality of training but at a lower cost. This thesis documents the Systems Engineering process completed to conceive, design, and develop a desktop model that supports the investigation of training alternatives. The Naval Aviation Proficiency Analysis model incorporates the General Aviator Learning Equation methodology developed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Divisions Human Performance Analysis and Instructional Systems Division into a user-friendly self-automated spreadsheet model. It analyzes downloading effortsmoving blocks of flights or simulators from a phase with higher platform operational cost to one with lower platform operational costand highlights the effects that downloading has on cost, hour, and skill proficiency differences across all pipeline skills. The next steps are to incorporate offloading (flights to simulators) and find optimal training solutions by incorporating an after-market solver.

Abstract:
The goal of this dissertation has been to examine changes in computing technology skills possessed by aircraft maintenance technicians. The perspective of this project has been from that of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School (AMTS). Specifically, the AMTS curriculum at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Daytona Beach, Florida, provided participants for the study. Recommendations for integrating computing technology training into the AMTS curriculum at ERAU are being proposed for planned changes to the existing curriculum. With the increased availability of computerized documentation and reference materials for the aviation industry, many technical training institutions are becoming aware of the importance of computing technology skills to the aircraft technician. With the continuing explosion of the Internet and availability of other technology-based systems, the question of what skills are already possessed will be significant in the development of any new training. A literature review has been conducted to determine the current status of computing technology within both the aviation maintenance field and as used by aircraft technician training programs. The use of such technology is quite extensive and is rapidly gaining acceptance throughout the aviation industry. In an effort to determine the computing technology skills currently possessed by aircraft maintenance students, a study was conducted that compared computer familiarity and user accuracy. The study consisted of two separate phases conducted two years apart. Identical computer software and hardware was used for each phase of the study. Instruments used included a survey of current computer skills, exercises to determine computer use, and a Subjective evaluation of two different FAA documentation software packages. Analysis of the data determined that computing technology skills possessed by AMTS students at ERAU have not significantly changed in the two years spanning the two phases of this study. These results are being used to provide recommendations for changes to AMTS curricula concerning the level of computing technology skills to be presented. While there is presently no such training required by the FAA for approved AMTSs, results from this study point to a need for exposure to computers throughout the AMTS curriculum.

Abstract:
The Ph.D. project has evolved from focusing on the technical problem of the integration and interoperability of an assemblage of complex systems and SoS within a flight training system to development of a workflow process using frameworks to aid the decision making process for the selection of optimal flight training blending mixes. The focus of the research involved developing a methodology to satisfy research project proposal requirements agreed upon with the industrial sponsor. This thesis investigates the complexity of a modern flight training systems and the need for understanding that it is supported by a complex Family of Systems (FoS) including Virtual Reality Training Environments such as flight simulators, to live training aircraft with various configurations of avionic controls. One of the key technical problems today is how best to develop and assemble a family of flight training system into an integrated Live/Synthetic mix for aircrew training to optimise organisation and training objectives. With the increased use of emulation/synthetic data on aircraft for live training, the synthetic boundary is becoming increasingly blurred. Systematic consideration of the most appropriate blend is needed. The methodology used in the research is model driven and the architecture produced is described at a level of abstraction to enable communication to all stakeholders for the means of understanding the structure involved in the system design process. Relational Oriented Systems Engineering and Technology Trade-Off Analysis (ROSETTA) frameworks are described using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques for supporting capability based trade-off decisions for selection of optimal flight training FoS mixes dependent on capability. The research proposes a methodology and associated methods including a high-level systematic closed loop information management structure for blended device/tool aircrew training and a modelling and analysis approach for the FoS aviation training problem to enhance the existing training programmes to provide a more efficient and agile training environment. The mathematical formalisms used provide a method of quantifying subjective opinions and judgements for trade studies to be accomplished on the suitability of technology for each student pilot in relation to training and organisational objectives. The methodology presented is by no means a final solution, but a path for further research to enable a greater understanding of the suitability of training tools/technology used to train individual pilots at various stages throughout the training pipeline lifecycle(s).

Abstract:
This report details the development of a training program intended to teach instructional designers (IDs) and subject matter experts (SMEs) how to develop online courses. The training was developed for Utah Valley University's Aviation Science department in order to help meet a course production deadline. The development process follows the Diamond model and a variation on that model was used in producing the training course. Once the training had been developed and implemented, qualitative data was gathered from both IDs and SMEs to help evaluate the training. Additionally the development time and cost for each course was analyzed. The training was shown to have improved production time and in turn, reduce the cost of each course. However, the feedback from the SMEs and IDs indicated that while the training was informative, the use of animated video and narration was less helpful. The biggest improvement was seen to have come from the IDs own improved understanding and confidence in developing their courses.

This work focused on the design of a graphical user interface to improve instructional design models and decision support for Marine aviation training. Trainee performance data was collected, analyzed, and compared the results of a survey of instructor pilots to find correlations between the scores assigned and opinions on the critical items identified by instructors. This information was used to inform the design of a system that provides leadership with trainee trends in visual form. Such a system could allow for early training interventions for those who struggle and better training management for those who are excelling. Although this thesis focused on the aviation domain, this methodology could be generalized to any U.S. Marine Corps or military training evaluation system using a criteria-referenced performance rating system. The sample data did not provide sufficient statistical evidence to predict future performance; however, it was sufficient to provide a meaningful visual representation of performance trends. The results gained in the analysis allowed for recommendations on changes to the current evaluation system and improvements to the technologies used to inform decision makers. A prototype of the designed graphical user interface is presented.

Abstract:
From January 2005 to December 2011 there were 1007 General Aviation, fixed wing accident reports published by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch. These ranged from minor events to fatal accidents, of which there were 55, killing 88 people. The data and information from these reports was collated and analysed to determine main and contributory causal factors with a view to formulating improvements to the current training and support mechanisms within the industry. A survey was also conducted among the UK General Aviation population to gauge the levels of experience, license level and other information with which the accident data could be compared, ultimately showing that although accident pilots were more experienced than the surveyed population of UK General Aviation pilots, they had less aircraft type experience. The accident data and survey results both mutually and independently highlighted areas of concern within General Aviation activities, such as the maintenance of flight currency, a lack of basic flight skills, poor decision making and an absence of any form of resource management. Some of these issues are more systemic in nature providing opportunity for additions and enhancements to be made to theoretical instruction, practical flight training and the support that General Aviation (GA) pilots receive, particularly those who fly with Private Pilot Licences, who make up the majority of this field of aviation. A rigid system of pilot monitoring to ensure currency is maintained and that appropriate procedures are followed prior to hire of an aircraft is also currently absent, being an area examined within the thesis. Proposals are presented to cover all these topics and conclusions drawn that whilst UK General Aviation is well regulated, the data and survey show there to be a need for improvements to be made, above and beyond the new syllabus being brought in under European Aviation Safety Agency regulations (EASA Part-FCL PPL, 2013).

Aviation is a sphere where voice communication system plays a great role. Proficiency in English is a key tool for an air traffic controller and phraseology of radio exchange has a number of specific features. Air traffic controller’s work includes maintaining an orderly flow of air traffic, servicing of an aircraft and control of safe movement on the ground and in the airspace. The only way to communicate with the pilot is a radio communication, which takes place in a real-time operation and requires maximum attention from the specialist. Among the below overviewed means and methods of training, a special place is taken by simulator training, which has the closest connection with the formation of ATCO's high competence and confidence. For this purpose, the existing training systems and theoretical approach foe studying was analyzed. Training simulators allow the formation of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as professionally important qualities. The main purpose of this work is to present the device that can be used for aviation personal training, as well as in different directions. The aim of this graduate thesis is an investigation of existing training system for an ATCO, its components and training simulators to be used for a specialist preparation and creation of new simulator for aviation personnel training. The following tasks have to get accomplished: 1) Analyze general process of aviation personnel simulator training; 2) Analyze the process of professional skills formation; 3) Analyze human factor affects and its reduction due to skills training; 4) Overview of new simulator system and its usage.

It is well known that simulator training plays a huge role in a process of aviation personnel training. Simulator training might compete in approximately 20 percent of whole time spent on education and training of ATCO student. Pilots may spend up to 40 percent of educational time on simulator training. Here comes the vitality of proper simulator education. It allows to gain some critical for aviation personnel skills and abilities. For ATCO simulator training is much closer to real job than even pilots flight simulator. The working place of ATCO is equipped as close to real as it possible due to technical progress. Current ATCO working place is almost fully computer-based. This means that the hardware on a workplace of CTA TMA control unit looks just like a modular or complex training simulator with an only difference – voice communication module. In a software-based device these modules are always neglected the developers. Even if such module is presented in simulators software it is usually low functional. Anyway, talking about voice communication module is almost always referred to device-based unit as radio panel in 70 percent of cases is presented in its classic layout with knobs and buttons, while only in brand new VHF/HF radio stations are presented as a part of automated air traffic control system or as a standalone touch screen. From all above mentioned it came clear that the necessity of standalone VHF/HF radio communication simulator for student ATCOs studying is desperately high, not only for the external layout but for the correct usage of push to talk button of manual frequency switching. The aim of this graduate thesis is to investigate the nowadays market of ATCO simulators in order to confirm the absence or incompatibility of these modules to gain real radio skills. The second aim is to develop simple, standalone, analogue and device-based radio communication simulator in order to satisfy training center needs.

Abstract:
This research investigates the Training Effectiveness of a low-cost, PC-based training system when compared with two modes (motion and no motion) of a cab training system with large screen for various aviation flying tasks. While much research on this topic has been done in the past, advances in technology have significantly altered what is considered a "low-cost" "simulator." The technology advances have in effect increased the ability of a "low-cost" "simulator" to deliver desired experiences to the user. These "simulators" often are nothing more than PC training system, with only notional representations of the actual aircraft. This research considers the use of such training systems in training for a highly complex and dynamic task situation, that task being a search and rescue mission. A search and rescue mission is far more complex task than those studied for possible "low-cost" simulation substitution in the past. To address that aspect, one mode of the cab involves motion in two degrees of freedom. The results of this research advances the body of literature on the capability of "low-cost" simulation to deliver the experiences necessary to learn highly complex tasks associated with search and rescue as well as further clarify the extent to which a motion platform aides in flight training. This research utilizes available platforms provided by the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center. Additionally, all the participants in the research are in training to be helicopter pilots. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three training configurations: a) Cab with motion turned ON, b) Cab with motion turned OFF and c) PC-based simulator. Training effectiveness is evaluated using measures for learning, task performance, and human factors. Statistically significant results are shown for the Cab with Motion and the Cab with No Motion configurations.

Abstract:
The work described in this final dissertation addresses the use of virtual reality in flight simulation. The attention has been focused on several aspects which should be considered when dealing with this topic, such: as the certification requirements issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); the systems and different components that made up a flight simulator; the limits in training efficiency and effectiveness with traditional flight simulators; the integration of virtual reality in flight simulation; the possible strategies to develop a virtual reality-based simulator; and finally the results that could be achieved in terms of realism, usability, implementation, compliance with regulations with simulation in virtual reality. The simulation is fluid and the use of advanced scenarios does not affect the simulation. Thanks to the fact that open-source software has been used for the simulator, several customizations can be implemented to obtain different environments . It could be possible to simulate helicopters, commercial aircraft, or gliders easily by simply changing the flight commands with specific devices: the straightforward advantage is that the cockpit and the external environment can be changed in a click because it’s all virtual. Moreover, the commands should be realistic in terms of grip and touch sensation, but their aesthetic features are not important because the pilots see the virtual commands during the simulation, and not the real ones. Future developments include the implementation of codes to simulate without the user intervention and setting phase that is required now. Moreover, a testing phase with pilots could provide the developers with useful suggestions to increase the usability of the tool. The improvement of the simulation could lead up to its certification provided that the requirements by EASA that currently are not satisfied are addressed.

Abstract:
Traditional use of the multiple-choice question rewards a student for guessing. This technique encourages rote memorization of questions to pass a lengthy exam, and does not promote comprehensive understanding or subject correlation. This begs the question; do we really want question memorizers to operate the machinery of our industrialized society? In an effort to identify guessing on answers during an exam within a safety-critical aviation pilot training course, a qualitative research study was undertaken that introduced a confidence-based element to the end-of-ground-school exam followed by flight simulator sessions. The research goals were twofold, to clearly identify correct guesses and also provide an evidence-based snapshot of aircraft systems knowledge to be used as a formative study aid for the remainder of the course. Pilot and instructor interviews were conducted to gather perceptions and opinions about the effectiveness of the confidence-based assessment tool. The finding of overall positive interview comments confirmed that the pilots and flight instructors successfully used the confidence-based assessments as intended to identify weak knowledge areas and as aids, or plans, for their remaining study time. The study found that if properly trained and administered—especially through a computer-based medium—a robust confidence-based assessment tool would be minimally-burdensome while offering worthwhile benefits.

Abstract:
A field investigation was carried out with student nurses entering General Training in a School of Nursing. Autogenic Regulation Training (ART), sickness absence, personal problems, time and their emotional physical experience was evaluated. Measures used in the study included:The Sickness Absence Record (SAR)The Mooney Problem Checklist (MPC)The Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI)and The Personal Observations Inventory (POI)Data was collected at different time periods early in their nurse education. The study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of ART in providing a method of coping with individual stress. Analyses were made between and within an ART group of student nurses and a comparison group who did not receive training in ART. Consideration was also given to individual differences of student nurses in each group.Particular attention was paid to the hypotheses that 1) ART is associated with reduced sickness absence in student nurses when analysed against a comparison group' of student nurses not trained in ART; and 2) ART is associated with reduced stress in student nurses when compared with student nurses not trained in ART. 'It is generally concluded that student nurses trained in ART may reduce their level of sickness absence and can alleviate stress for some student nurses. However, examination of individual student nurse reports of ART and its usefulness and practice within these group data, suggest more complex interpretations of the study. Despite the study limitations, implications for methods of stress control for nurses, curriculum development and cost-effective savings for nursing administrations are suggested, and possibilities for the development of comprehensive counselling services for nurses are raised. These issues it is suggested, should be examined within a broader programme of research into coping with stress amongst nurses.

Abstract:
Worldwide commercial aviation has been expanding rapidly. This expansion is set to continue with major aircraft manufactures like Boeing in 2018 forecasting an additional 790,000 new pilots will be required worldwide by 2036. This expansion is changing the dynamics of pilot training and the flow on effect of less experienced pilots entering airlines. This changing dynamic led to an Australian Senate enquiry into pilot standards in 2010. In 2018 the Australian Minister for Transport commissioned an expert panel of pilot training organisations and senior airline managers to investigate aviation. The panel stated the current expansion played a significant threat to the commercial aviation industry. Threats included the prohibitive costs for new students to become pilots, airlines poaching flight instructors and a reducing number of flight examiners (FE). The flight examiner is responsible for the assessment of pilots at all stages of their career. In early pilot training there is a significant focus on aviation knowledge (e.g. rules of the air and aerodynamics) and flying skills (e.g. landing, turning, navigation) referred to as technical skills. Accidents over the last thirty to forty years in commercial aviation demonstrated that large aircraft in multi-crew flights were also attributed to human factors such as communication, teamwork and decision making, referred to as non-technical skills (NTS). The assessment of technical skills has remained somewhat unchanged. However, non-technical skills are still evolving with research showing there remains issues centred on the separation of technical and non-technical skills, the constructs used, and the low inter-rater reliability in non-technical skills assessment. Nevertheless, experience by the researcher over the last five years as an Occupational Therapist (OT) working with airlines showed pilots with reoccurring performance issues, while initially signalled by a flight examiner as a technical and/or non-technical skills issue, could be better explained and remediated when categorised as issues associated with the postural, sensory, visual and/or cognitive systems. This master’s thesis explores airline pilot performance using fundamental tools and perspectives used by Occupational Therapists. This exploration is not for the purpose of pilot selection, but rather, an opportunity to provide airlines with greater layers of intervention when performance issues arise with pilots. Accordingly, the study aimed to: 1. Identify a small number (four) of airline pilots previously assessed by a flight examiner demonstrating performances ranging from low to high. 2. Conduct further standardised and non-standardised occupational therapy assessments. 3. Determine if certain variables could impact on pilot performance. The study showed the poor performing pilot had issues across all four systems - postural, sensory, visual and cognitive systems. The average performing pilots had issues across three of the systems - sensory, visual and cognitive systems. The highest performing pilot had no major difficulties across any of the systems. Interestingly some tests showed a reversal of results, with the poor performing pilot testing higher on some sub-tests, while the highest performing pilot tested poorly. The study discusses the findings in relation to pilot assessment and remedial training.

Abstract:
In this case study, researchers investigated the instructional methods used to train private pilot students at Utah Valley University. Traditional one-on-one individualized learning methods were replaced with cooperative learning methods. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the cooperative learning methods used. Reduced training time, less repeated lessons and a reduced number of flight hours showed that cooperative learning methods were more efficient and a more effective way to train private pilot students at Utah Valley University.

Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
The Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) has been the qualifying benchmark for the Naval Aviation since World War II. While it is necessary that test scores effectively select the candidates with the greatest chance for success, the ASTB strides toward increasing diversity while maintaining low attrition. Using archived Student Naval Aviator and Student Naval Flight Officer ASTB subtest scores and Primary Flight Training (PFT) records, this study examined the ASTB's predictive ability with respect performance in PFT. Specifically the study consists of two analyses: 1) determine how well the ASTB could predict majority and minority group performance in primary flight training; and 2) determine how well the ASTB could predict success in each training phase and for the entire sample and select groups. The linear regression analysis successfully fit a significant model for the entire sample and Caucasians, but was unable to produce a significant model for African Americans or Hispanics, as there was insufficient data available for either group. The model, when fitted to the entire dataset, with race as an independent variable, yielded a result where all independent variables were significant. The results from the logistic regression models showed there was evidence that four of the ASTB subtests were significant and positive predictors for the entire sample and Caucasians; but was unable to produce a significant model for African Americans or Hispanics. It is apparent that the small data set for minorities limited this study. Efforts to collect data from personnel records should be conducted to obtain all scores from flight training, so that these groups can be further investigated.

Abstract:
For organizations with training pipelines, this study offers insight to help identify and minimize undesirable effects which may result from often unavoidable demand variations within a resource and time constrained environment. The highly complex Naval aviation training process is used as a case study. However, any organization with a training pipeline may find this study to be useful. Within a training pipeline, like any resource constrained production line, variability may cause undesirable results to occur. Variability includes any change in the number of students to train, time-to-train, instructor availability, material availability, and other supporting factors. Undesirable effects may include: delayed time-to-train, wasted valuable resources, reduced morale, reduced quality of training, or an increase in undesirable behaviors as a result of perceived production pressures. "Wasted valuable resources" includes human capital, money, material, and time. Although other sources of variability will be discussed, this study will primarily examine the cause and effect relationships resulting from variations in the number of students to train. Potential solutions are explored.

Abstract:
A basic goal of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program is to enable the language learner to function within an academic discipline, science and technology occupation, or a vocational occupation by using English. This teacher researcher case study explores the English literacy development of three adult Japanese student pilots within a holistic English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program. The setting of this five month naturalistic case study was on a small airport in the Southwestern United States. Experiential literacy events were provided to encourage student pilots to develop English literacy while learning aviation concepts. A preliminary case study with one student was conducted to evaluate and modify data collection methods, and ESP curriculum and organization. Data collection included participant observation and field notes, dialogue journals between students and the teacher researcher, oral and written interviews, checklists, and audio-taping methods. Three themes emerged through the constant comparative method of data analysis: (1) self perception, (2) developing relationships, and (3) developing literacy strategies. These three themes reflect the process of how and through what particular issues students developed English literacy. Findings from the analysis of data suggest that English literacy develops differently, and has distinct meanings for each person. In contrast to traditional ESP and ESL programs that emphasizes the transmission of language, a holistic ESP program provides opportunities for adult student pilots to develop English literacy through a process of inventing and appropriating English for his/her own purposes and needs. Findings also indicate that learning the form and function of language is not enough. Other language processes and social interactions enhance learning and support language development. Current research within the English for Specific Purposes field focuses on the description of the language as product of a particular academic/scientific/occupational situation that a student needs to learn to be successful. This dissertation seeks to refocus the direction in ESP research and contribute to the understandings of the process of literacy development in a holistic ESP program.

Abstract:
MBA Professional Report
The motivation for using Flight Training Synthetic Environment Technology (FTSET) in military aviation is to create a cost-efficient and a risk-managed training environment. However, deciding on the appropriate mix of synthetic versus actual flight training remains a great unresolved issue. Further, FTSET usage and its adoption level may vary across the aviation community and flight training curricula. TUAA has employed FTSET in helicopter flight training since 1990. Since then, it has exhibited three different FTSET Support Usage patterns, which include an initial phase of lower support rates until 1997, a substantial increase phase from 1997-2001, and a leveling-off phase, where growth stagnated, from 2001-2006. We hypothesize that these sequential phasing can be explained in terms of the organizational culture in which the FTSET is employed, organizational changes that favor FTSET usage and increasing FTSET expertise in the usage, and the current FTSET's limited technical capability and its sole support for one type of helicopter. To test our hypotheses we develop a systems dynamics model of the FTSET adoption process (AP) that has three interrelated sectors: Technology Improvement and Acquisition, Technology Adoption, and Technology Discarding. The Diffusion Model is also used as a framework to help explain the TUAA's FTSET AP from 1990 to 2006. The purpose is to understand this AP and to generate a policy for the current and future FTSET AP.

The work of pilot is one of the most difficult activity, that why the training is difficult as well. The process of professional training includes a lot of instruments and devices. The level of training should mainly guarantee safety. Accident analysis and preconditions shows that factors such as the mistakes in flight operations, errors in piloting techniques and operation of aviation equipment determines the overall accident rate. This causes the need to improve the organization of flight training for flight crews.

Abstract:
This study explores how formal training and situated learning combine to shape the competence of airlines’ cabin crew. The purpose of this study is to broaden the understanding of cabin crew learning by incorporating a ‘social practice’ approach. Cabin crew learning, still little explored in the literature, provides insights into a complex social practice context. Traditionally, cabin crew learning has been conceptualised in terms of initial training; they are trained and evaluated from a predominantly behavioural competency-based perspective, away from actual work contexts. At work, cabin crew engage in complex interactions with various people (colleagues, passengers, pilots), undertake different duties (e.g., customer service, safety-related tasks), in diverse situations (i.e. from routine flying to abnormal situations and emergencies). At the same time, they are committed to high standards of safety and passenger service enforced by airlines and flight safety authorities. The learning from these experiences has not been part of the thinking of airline training departments and therefore the question arises of how it relates to or combines with the outcomes of formal training regimes. Building on contemporary perspectives of learning, particularly those informed by situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991), it is argued that cabin crew members develop knowledgeable skills for participation in a social practice constituted by the confined, intimate environment of the cabin. However, competence as such is seen to arise in a negotiation between this practice and the knowledge and values fostered in training. The concept of ‘social practice’ as a complex interaction of knowledge, skills, context, social relationships, and identity in a historically unfolding setting suggests that potentially, in the case of cabin crew, both the workplace and formal training experiences constitute two social practices – each with its own perspectives on the work of cabin crew – and that cabin crew member learning in fact spans the different sources of learning and identity. The argument developed through the thesis is based on modified ethnographic research into the training and work environment of the cabin crew of one airline operating regional flights. The findings of the project contribute to the situated learning literature by suggesting not only that significantly different ‘situations’ shape cabin crew learning, but that formal training programs can themselves be regarded as a social practice rather than something to be written off as an inauthentic precursor to real learning. The study thus aligns with findings of situated learning researchers like Østerlund (1996) who argue that contemporary workplace learning can be seen as a process of crossing between differed situations or practices, and is critical of the tendency of researchers, such as Lave and Wenger (1991), who have not recognised formal training contexts as a social practice. These findings advance our knowledge of cabin crews’ work practices and their learning processes, potentially contributing to the improvement of the current training regimes. Further, this study emphasises the importance of qualitative exploration of situated learning in cabin crew contexts, which may inform possible solutions to contemporary concerns about training effectiveness in aviation. It might also contribute to better understand learning in other areas that combine intense formal training with a highly social work context, such as hospitality or healthcare.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to compare and analyze Malmö Aviation and Rica Talk Hotel's service culture. This is done by examining three themes, the organizations ways of working with training, motivation and empowerment of frontline employees. Method: The essay is a case study-based qualitative research which mainly focuses on semi-structured, qualitative interviews with various people within the two organizations. Theory: The theoretical framework considers theory within two sections. The first section, the organizations importance in service quality, focuses on service culture or service climate and different management strategies. Section two, the employees’ importance in service quality, focuses on three themes: training, motivation and empowerment of frontline employees Results: Both Malmö Aviation and Rica Talk Hotel are companies that put great emphasis on developing and maintaining a quality service culture within the organization. The main difference between Malmö Aviation and Rica Talk Hotel in service culture is that Malmö Aviation has a well established and well functioning service culture within the company, while Rica Talk Hotel is in the middle of a development process where they are reviewing their existing service culture. The new service culture has not yet been established in the company, and therefore there is a great development potential within education, motivation and empowerment of frontline employees.
