ABSTRACT

Objective

We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles aimed at the evaluation of certified flight instructors’ (CFI) performance in a training context and a scoping review of potential research avenues given the previously identified gaps.

Background

As the demand for pilots will continue to grow significantly in the coming decades, so will the demand for CFIs, and for ways to improve their existing performance. Understanding performance factors of CFIs could benefit their training and help meet the increasing demand for pilots.

Method

State-of-the-art research on the subject was surveyed via a systematic review of performance factors of CFIs and a scoping review to identify areas where other fields of research could inform CFI performance evaluation.

Result

Only 20 articles since 1965 have directly assessed performance factors of CFIs. Their focus has mostly been on communication and educational processes. The scoping review brings forward concepts from cognitive psychology and psychophysiology as means of improving the current understanding of CFI situation awareness and task management.

Conclusion

Very little work has been done on CFI situation awareness and task management. These are the two main domains in which psychophysiological tools could provide a clear understanding of the attentional and decisional processes at play while developing situation awareness in a dynamic environment and quantify the task load affecting it.

合格的飞行教员的绩效–文献复习和未来步骤的探索

摘要

目的

我们对同行评审的文章进行了系统的审查，旨在评估培训背景下的合格飞行教员（CFI）的表现，并鉴于先前发现的差距对潜在的研究途径进行范围审查。

背景

在接下来的几十年中，由于对飞行员的需求将继续大幅增长，因此对CFI以及对改善其现有绩效的方法的需求也将如此。了解CFI的绩效因素可以使他们的培训受益，并有助于满足对飞行员不断增长的需求。

方法

通过对CFI绩效因素的系统评价和范围界定调查，对有关该主题的最新研究进行了调查，以确定其他研究领域可以为CFI绩效评估提供信息的领域。

结果

自1965年以来，只有20篇文章直接评估了CFI的性能因素。他们的重点主要放在交流和教育过程上。范围审查提出了认知心理学和心理生理学的概念，作为提高对CFI情况意识和任务管理的当前理解的手段。

结论

在CFI态势感知和任务管理方面所做的工作很少。这是两个主要领域，其中，心理生理学工具可以清楚地了解正在起作用的注意和决策过程，同时在动态环境中发展态势感知并量化影响它的任务负荷。
