AB - The objective of this summative evaluation of the Airway Science Curriculum Demonstration Project (ASCDP) was to compare the performance, job attitudes, retention rates, and perceived supervisory potential of graduates from recognized Airway Science programs with those of individuals recruited through traditional means in the air traffic control specialist (ATCS) occupation. Previous evaluations conducted by the Higher Education and Advanced Technology Staff (1990) and the University Aviation Association (1990) described institutional and organizational benefits that accrued to the agency, participating institutions, and industry from the Airway Science program. In this technical evaluation, differences between Airway Science hires (N=312) and a random, stratified sample (N=312) of traditional ATCS hires on eight program objectives were evaluated in terms of: (1) interest in an aviation-related career; (2) attrition; (3) technical competence; (4) attitudes toward technological change; (5) managerial potential; (6) human relations skills; (7) female and minority representation; and (8) perceptions of the Federal Aviation Administration. On one hand, controllers hired from the Airway Science register expressed significantly more interest in an aviation-related career (Objective 1) than controllers hired by traditional means. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between traditional hires and Airway Science hires on the remaining criteria. Overall, the performance of Airway Science hires was about the same as that of traditionally hired controllers. These results are consistent with other evaluations (Broach, 1990; Clough, 1988) conducted within the narrow framework defined by the Federal Register announcement of the demonstration project.

COMPARISON OF TOXICITY. RANKINGS OF SIX POLYMERS BY LETHALITY AND BY INCAPACITATION IN RATS PY - 1991/12 SP - 11 p. AB - Polymeric aircraft cabin materials have the potential to produce toxic gases in fires. Lethality (LC50) in animal models is a standard index to rank polymers on the basis of their combustion product toxicity. However, the use of times-to-incapacitation may be more realistic for predicting relative escape times from a fire environment. Therefore, LC50s and times-to-incapacitation for six pure polymers of different chemical classes were determined and compared. The polymers were polyamide (I), polystyrene (II), Nylon 6/6 (III), polysulfone (IV), polyethylene (V) and chlorinated polyethylene (VI). In the study, rats (150-250 g), 12 animals per fuel loading, were exposed to the pyrolysis products from selected weights of each polymer for 30 min in a 265-L combustion/exposure system, and LC50s were determined following a 14-day observation period. For each polymer, times-to-incapacitation were also measured at 16 g, that is, 60 mg/L, and at their respective LC50s using the inability of rats to walk in rotating cages as a criterion for incapacitation. The LC50s (mg/L) of the polymers had the order of I (45.7) < II (56.6) = III (58.1) < IV (63.2) < V (75.5) < VI (87.5), while their times-to-incapacitation (min) at 16 g (60 mg/L) had the order of III (6.6) = I (7.3) < V (11.7) = II (12.0) < VI (18.4) < IV (21.1). Based on the times-to-incapacitation (min) at LC50s, the polymers were grouped into III & V (10.5, 11.0); I, II & VI (14.1-15.0); and IV (19.5). The two toxicological end points, LC50 and times-to-incapacitation, did not exhibit the same relative toxic hazard rankings for these polymers. Also, times-to-incapacitation were not equal at the LC50 concentrations, a condition of equal lethality. These findings demonstrate the possible involvement of different mechanisms of action for the combustion products of these polymers at the selected end points.

The purpose of the present study was to apply criteria for aggregation of individual-level data to the group-level using a measure of job satisfaction in the prediction of aggregated group level intent to leave. Data collected from 5,586 employees of the Federal Aviation Administration provided partial support for aggregation. These results have general implications for the use of individual-level job satisfaction scores as predictors of group-level intent to leave.

AB - To evaluate the effects of orthostatic, altitude, and pharmacologic stresses upon civil aviation-specific performance, a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial of atenolol was designed and executed. Hypertensive subjects were studied during simulated altitude exposure to 12,500 ft, orthostatic stress, and moderate exercise. A total of 160 lower body negative pressure tests were performed simulating +2G vertical acceleration, 80 at ground and 80 at altitude. Beta-blockade caused a modest impairment in orthostatic tolerance. Five of the 80 lower body negative pressure runs at ground level were marked by intolerance, all of which were in beta-blocked subjects. Of the 80 altitude runs, 30 were terminated for intolerance, of which, 18 included beta-blockade. In a modest exercise protocol meant to be no more stressful than the exertional requirements of piloting an aircraft during adverse conditions, neither beta-blockade or altitude appeared to limit performance. Quantitative performance on a computerized cognitive battery clearly demonstrated impaired performance during lower body negative pressure stress at altitude. Monitoring of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and stroke volume was necessary for quantitative analysis of hemodynamic responses to these stressors. These parameters demonstrated progressive decrements in systemic vascular resistance in intolerant subjects, implicating a defective peripheral autonomic nervous system response. Moreover, monitoring of systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure, and transcranial Doppler middle cerebral artery flow velocities allowed prediction of impending cognitive and hemodynamic collapse. These data implicate the synergistic deleterious effects of beta-blockade and altitude in the potentiation of intolerance to orthostatic stress. These findings may have most relevance to the personnel of unpressurized aircraft who are being treated with beta-blocking drugs for hypertension.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was requested to study the feasibility of establishing regional air-cargo airports to relieve congestion at major airports in the immediate area. The study was to include the impact of an air freight and cargo operations facility to alleviate congestion and thereby increase capacity at the major airports in the Washington, D.C., area. This area includes Washington Dulles International Airport, Washington National Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Airport. Air traffic delay is a serious problem, and it is expected to worsen because of the widening gap between the capacity of major airports and the traffic these airports are required to handle. Both the quality and cost of air service are strongly tied to aviation system capacity.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration allows civilian airmen with aphakia to fly with waivered certificates. This study analyzes the distribution of aphakia in the civil airman population by type (unilateral, bilateral), class of airman medical certificate, and gender for a 4-year period (1982-85). Medical records were evaluated for all certified airmen during the study period who were carrying pathology codes for aphakia and artificial lens implant. The percentage increase in the prevalence of aphakia was higher for bilateral, second-class certificate holders, and male aphakics. The incidence of total and unilateral aphakia declined during the last 2 years of the study period. Aphakia has become increasingly prevalent in the civil airman population. The increased application and modification of surgical procedures for cataract extraction, coupled with possible visual complications from these procedures in flight operations, strongly suggests continued specialized aeromedical certification and clinical research review.

AB - The potential need for testing workers in the aviation industry for job-related alcohol abuse requires the development of a testing strategy based, in part, on selection of alcohol test instruments appropriate to the specific goals of the Federal Aviation Administration. The extensive availability of test instruments with varying capabilities and limitations makes selection of alcohol test instruments difficult technologically, with a considerable potential for choosing test instruments of inappropriate character. The considerations outlined herein are intended to assist in the selection process. Selection requires careful analysis of three important factors: the intended situation or purpose; the performance domains that are particularly relevant for that situation or purpose; and how any particular method fulfills the requirements. Three critical performance domains (specificity, sensitivity and precision) that all alcohol detection methods should possess are identified. The study also discusses boundary conditions, such as location/portability, calibration and legality, upon which selection of a potential alcohol detection method would be merited.

AB - A survey was conducted to determine if training in high-altitude physiology should be required for civilian pilots; what the current status of such training was; and, if required, what should be included in an ideal curriculum. The survey included a review of Aviation Safety Reporting System and National Transportation Safety Board accidents/incidents where high altitude was a contributing factor, current Federal Aviation Regulations, the Airman's Information Manual, and military training courses. In addition, representatives of pilot and flight attendant unions, airlines, airframe manufacturers, the armed services, National Business Aviation Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, flight schools, and universities were interviewed. And, an expert in the field was identified and asked to write a discussion paper for inclusion in the report. The survey determined that there is a need for such training. It was also found that current training practices are not uniform and sometimes do not even address those subjects required by Federal Aviation Regulations. The report contains recommendations for subjects to be included in a core curriculum and additional subjects that may be included for a more complete knowledge of high altitude physiology issues relevant to civilian flight.

AB - This handbook covers the state of the art of asphalt paving operations including plant operations, transportation of materials, surface preparation, laydown, and compaction. It is aimed at the field personnel who are responsible for these operations, both contractor personnel who do the work and agency personnel who oversee and inspect the work. The preparation of this handbook was financed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the National Asphalt Pavement Association and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was prepared by a study committee appointed by the National Research Council. The work was performed under the overall guidance of the Transportation Research Board's Executive Director, Thomas B. Deen, and Director for Special Projects, Robert E. Skinner, Jr. The handbook is being technically approved and distributed as a general guide for asphalt paving construction not only by its financial sponsors, but also by the American Public Works Association and the National Association of County Engineers. The handbook is arranged in three parts. Part One discusses (1) the purpose and organization of the handbook, (2) project organization (project documents, preconstruction conference, ongoing communication, project records, and safety), and (3) mix design and the job mix formula. Part Two examines the types of asphalt plants, aggregate storage and handling, the asphalt cement supply system, drum mix plant, surge and storage silos, emission control, and batch plant. Part Three addresses mix delivery, surface preparation, mix placement, automatic screed controls, joint construction, compaction, and equipment and mat problems.

AB - This report contains two studies: (1) "The Moderating Effect of Equity on the Relationship between Participation in Decision-Making and Job Satisfaction;" and (2) "Perceived Environmental Uncertainty and Participation in Decision-Making in the Prediction of Perceptions of Fairness of Personnel Decisions." In the first study, moderated multiple regression analyses on data collected from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic controller specialists indicated that equity perceptions moderated the relationship between participation in decision-making and level of job satisfaction. Specifically, the correlation between participation in decision-making and job satisfaction scores was higher among subjects high in equity than those low in equity. These results suggest that when individuals perceived their pay, promotional opportunities, and performance ratings as being unfair, participation in decision-making may have had less effect on job satisfaction than when individuals perceived them as being fair. In general, the success of managerial efforts to improve job satisfaction by implementing participation in decision-making efforts may be limited when subordinates perceive their personal work situation as unfair. Extending research on the effects of participation in decision-making (PDM) and perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU) on job attitudes, the second study investigated the hypothesis that PDM and PEU scores would account for variance in perceptions of the levels of fairness in personnel decisions. As hypothesized, data collected from 357 FAA personnel indicated that perceptions of participation in decision-making and environmental uncertainty accounted for unique variance in perceptions of levels of fairness in personnel decisions. Although limited by the possibility of method variance, these data suggest the importance of information in the development of equity perceptions.

AB - The present study of 92 civilian Federal Government employees in a 2-month, full-time training program tested the hypothesis that exchange ideology would moderate the relationship between procedural justice perceptions and satisfaction with the training experience. Exchange ideology refers to the relationship between what the individual receives and gives in an exchange relationship. At one end of its dispositional continuum, employee effort is based on organization reinforcements - a strong exchange ideology. At the other end of the continuum, employees put forth effort without regard to what they receive from the organization -- a weak exchange ideology. The data indicated that perceptions of procedural justice accounted for greater variance in satisfaction among trainees with a strong exchange ideology than among those with a weak exchange ideology. These results suggest that the effect of fairness on satisfaction with a training experience appears to be dependent on the individual's exchange ideology.

AB - The essays in this technical report represent presentations made as part of a symposium entitled "Selection of Air Traffic Controllers: Complexity, Requirements, and Public Interest." The symposium was presented at the 98th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, August 10-14, 1990, in Boston, MA. The presentations address the diverse process of valid selection for a highly demanding occupation in the career Federal civil service: the air traffic control specialist. Although the military services and a growing number of colleges and universities provide training in air traffic control, the Federal Aviation Administration has up to now maintained fairly strict and restricted access to most of the required selection and training for this highly visible job whose occupants are perceived to hold the nation's air traffic and safety in their hands. Each of the accompanying reports discusses a different component of the selection process for air traffic controllers. Reports include: Overview Of The National Airspace Human Resource Management Planning Process; Employing Air Traffic Controllers; Procedures for Selection of Air Traffic Control Specialists; Evaluation Issues in the Selection of Air Traffic Controllers; and Discussion of Selection of Air Traffic Controllers: Complexity, Requirements and the Public Interest.

AB - The State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI) is a self-report inventory which measures anxiety, curiosity, and anger (Spielberger, 1979). The three 'trait' scale scores are determined by the frequency of each emotion as stable personality constructs. The Multiplex Controller Aptitude Test (MCAT) is the primary selection test completed by air traffic control specialist (ATCS) applicants. The STPI was given to 1,284 students who entered the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy nonradar screen program between October 1986 and September 1987. Men and women ATCS trainees exhibited less anxiety and anger than normative groups of college students and Navy recruits. Also, in most comparisons, the ATCS sample indicated greater curiosity. ATCS pass rates were reduced within each MCAT score level for the groups of entrants with anxiety or anger scores above the nonnative levels. Personality trait profiles differed significantly for groups when they were categorized by both self-expected job performance levels and job satisfaction, but not aptitude score levels. Analyses indicated significant relationships between anxiety and lower job performance self-expectations and between curiosity and higher self-expected job satisfaction. FAA Academy entrants have a group profile indicating relatively low levels of trait anxiety and anger. Personality factors can impact a) the predictive validity of the MCAT in determining a student's aptitude for learning air traffic control principles/procedures and b) potentially, organizational goals such as increasing employee job satisfaction.

AB - A survey of aircraft checklists and flight manuals was conducted to identify impediments to their use and to determine if standards or guidelines for their design were needed. Information for this purpose was collected through the review of checklists and manuals from six Part 121 and nine Part 135 carriers, review of National Transportation Safety Board and Aviation Safety Reporting System reports, analysis of an Air Line Pilots Association survey of air carrier pilots, and by direct observation in air carrier cockpits. The survey revealed that some checklists and manuals were difficult to locate and were poorly designed for use in the cockpit environment, the use of checklists by flight crews was not always well defined, the use of checklists interfered with other flight operations, and flight operations often made it difficult to use checklists effectively. The report contains recommendations for the formatting and content of checklists and manuals, their use by flight crews, and areas of research relevant to checklist design.

AB - A study was conducted to determine the linkages between the job tasks and competencies of first-level supervisors in the Federal Aviation Administration. A sample was drawn from each of nine job groups (Flight Service, Terminal, En Route, Regional Office/Headquarters Air Traffic, Aircraft Certification, Security, Airway Facilities, Flight Standards, and Other) for a total sample of 2,412 first-level supervisors. Mail surveys were distributed in April, 1990. Respondents were asked to: (1) rate the relative importance of each of 50 tasks, (2) rate the relative time spent on each task, (3) identify up to three competencies needed to successfully perform each task, and (4) provide organizational location and demographic information. A total of 1020 surveys were returned for a response rate of 42%. After eliminating unusable and unreliable respondents, the total sample for analysis was 853. Comparison of population and respondent demographics indicated that the results were representative and thus could be generalized to the agency population of first-level supervisors. Statistically significant differences were found between job groups on the Time Spent, Importance, and Competencies variables using multivariate and univariate analysis of variance. Considering the statistical and practical significance of the results, it was concluded that the task make-up of the job varies among the job groups but that the competencies required for the different jobs are quite similar. Applications of the results to selection, performance assessment, and training/development were discussed and recommendations for program changes were provided.

AB - Four currently available representative types of infant life preservers were tested to assess the donning times and flotation characteristics for infant subjects (6 months to 2 years old). Two of the four devices tested were fixed-foam recreational devices and two were inflatable, dual-chambered devices that met Technical Standard Order C-13d requirements. The parent received videotaped donning instructions prior to the timed donning trials. Donning times were recorded from the time the unwrapped device was handed to the parent until the last connection or adjustment was made. The device that was most quickly donned was an inflatable type with a vest attached to the top of the upper chamber (median donning time was 28.8 seconds). This infant life preserver also exhibited good body support with the head well above the water. The two fixed-foam devices were designed to have approximately one-third of the buoyancy of the two inflatable types and relied on assistance from an adult to maintain the infant in a safe flotation attitude. It appears that the fixed-foam infant life preservers would provide more thermal protection than the inflatable life preservers.

AB - This study evaluates the content validity of the Initial Qualifications Course provided to flight service specialists (FSS) by the Federal Aviation Administration Academy. The purpose of this course (FAA Academy Course 50232) is to predict the student's probability of attaining certification as a full performance level controller in field facilities. Results of analyses of the FSS position in automated flight service stations (AFSSs) are reviewed and summarized, and the linkage between job analysis and specifications of training content is described. A content validation study, using a panel of full performance level specialists from field facilities, is then described. The panel reviewed the graded examinations and laboratory simulations against the available job function descriptions and identified knowledges and skills required to perform those functions. The panel indicated whether a knowledge or skill was represented in the reviewed graded instrument. The proportion of knowledges or skills represented by an instrument was then calculated for each rater; the average of these proportions across raters provided an overall index of the degree to which the knowledges and skills were represented in the graded instruments. Three job functions are taught in the FSS Initial Qualifications Course: (a) flight plan processing; (b) orienting lost aircraft; and (c) weather analysis. Overall, eight of the ten graded components of FAA Academy Course 50232 appeared to adequately sample the knowledge and task domains associated with these AFSS job functions. This content validation study and associated review of job analyses and course development indicate the course was constructed with reasonable competence and bears a manifest relationship to the job of flight service specialist. The evidence provided by this study provides a basis for using the FSS Initial Qualifications Course on an interim basis for making personnel decisions about specialists.

AB - It is accepted that in the winter the load-carrying capacity of pavements increases dramatically because of freezing of the pavement structure. This is more striking in asphalt concrete pavements because of the stiffening of the asphalt at low temperatures. In the spring, the pavement structure below the asphalt layer thaws and can become saturated with water from the melting ice lenses, reducing the strength of the base, subbase and subgrade. In the spring of 1986, CRREL conducted Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) measurements at an airfield in Wisconsin, which had pavements that were primarily asphalt concrete, to determine the change in the load-bearing capacity of these pavement structures in a seasonal frost area during thaw weakening periods. In addition to FWD measurements, surface and subsurface pavement temperatures were measured at selected sites. This report gives a general description of the airfield and the pavement structure and a comprehensive analysis of the FWD measurements.

AB - Expanded civil aircraft medical emergency kits have been mandated on U.S. carriers since August 1986. Airlines provided the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports on medical kit usage and outcomes of the associated medical emergencies; 1,016 inflight medical events during the period August 1, 1986, through July 31, 1987, were available for review. Physicians responded to the emergencies in over 63 percent of the occurrences; the two most prevalent presenting situation were chest pain and syncopal episodes. Nine passengers died on board aircraft, and at least three deaths occurred post-landing. A minimum of 89 of the total cases resulted in flight diversions. The sphygmomanometer (739 cases) and stethoscope (734 cases) were the most frequently used kit items; orophatyngeal air ways were utilized in 14 cases. Since standardized reporting formats are not required, evaluation of response capability remains incomplete. Although an additional year of medical emergency kit usage remains to be reported, mandatory reporting of use to the FAA has not been required since July 1988.

AB - The Department of Transportation Emergency Medical Equipment Requirements Rule of January 9, 1986, mandated a period of 24 months (August 1986 - July 1988) during which all air carriers flying under Federal Aviation Regulation, Part 121, would monitor medical emergencies and use of the prescribed medical kits. The reporting airlines were to provide descriptions of how the medical kits were used, by whom, and the outcome of the medical emergency. During the two-year monitoring period, a total of 2,322 reports of medical emergencies were documented; these included 33 inflight deaths, with only one of these representing a crew member (secondary to aircraft structural failure and resultant physical trauma). In the 2,293 actual uses of the medical kit, a physician was the provider in over 85% of the cases. The most common presenting symptom was pain, with unconsciousness, impaired breathing, nausea and/or vomiting, and various myocardial diagnoses the most common presenting sign (in descending order of frequency). High frequency recurrent complaints about kit adequacy were not noted during the two year monitoring period; there were scattered references about the poor technical quality of the most frequently employed equipment. The medical kit content might selectively be expanded to include analgesics, antiarrhythmics, antiemetics, and bronchodilators.

AB - This study tests whether mild hypoxia that is typically encountered in civilian aircraft causes temporary visual field defects in elderly persons or temporarily increases pre-existing defects in persons with glaucoma. The central 24-2 program on the Humphrey automated perimeter was used to test visual fields in three groups of subjects: six with glaucoma, 12 age-matched controls over 44 years of age, and six normal subjects under age 36. Visual fields were tested at ground level and at 10,000 feet in an alternating sequence. A repeated measures design of multiple analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Altitude was found to have no effect on the visual fields of subjects with glaucoma, age-matched normals, and younger subjects. We found no evidence to suggest a change in the present Federal Aviation Administration standards, which allow a special issuance certificate to persons with glaucoma who wish to obtain medical clearance to operate civilian aircraft. Nor have we found any evidence that should discourage glaucoma patients from flying as passengers.

Since the initial implementation of the EECP), there have been complaints about aircraft noise and overflights, principally from areas in central and northern New Jersey. These concerns largely have focused on the operations by jet aircraft arriving at or departing from the New York-New Jersey airports over areas which, up to the time of the changes, were subject to less overflight. Controversy about the impacts of the EECP on New Jersey has led to a statutory requirement (the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990, Section 9119) for the FAA to prepare and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the effects of the changes in aircraft flight patterns over the State of New Jersey caused by implementation of the EECP.

THE EFFECT OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURE ON CARBON MONOXIDE TOXICITY PY - 1990/12 SP - 18 p. AB - Laboratory rats were exposed to: (a) experimental concentrations of carbon monoxide in air at ambient temperature, (b) elevated temperature atmospheres from 40 deg C to 60 deg C, and (c) selected carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations at the elevated temperatures in (b). The incapacitating potency of each of the environments was evaluated by measurement of time-to-incapacitation (ti) as a function of CO concentration and/or temperature; incapacitation was defined operationally as loss of ability to walk inside a motor-driven, rotating cage enclosed in an exposure chamber. Comparison of data from the combined (CO + elevated temperature) exposures and exposures to CO and elevated temperatures alone indicated that incapacitation occurred earlier when CO inhalation was combined with a whole-body, elevated temperature environment than was observed for the same exposure parameters applied individually. No evidence for a synergistic effect was noted. An empirical equation was derived that allows the calculation of a predicted ti for combinations of CO and temperature within the ranges utilized in the experimental exposures.

TIMES TO INCAPACITATION FOR RATS EXPOSED CONTINUOUSLY TO CARBON MONOXIDE, ACROLEIN, AND TO CARBON MONOXIDE-ACROLEIN MIXTURES PY - 1990/12 SP - 25 p. AB - Laboratory rats were exposed to experimental atmospheres of (a) carbon monoxide (CO) in air, (b) acrolein in air, and (c) to mixtures of CO and acrolein in air. The toxic potency of each of the three types of environments was evaluated toxicokinetically by measurement of time-to-incapacitation (ti) as a function of toxic gas concentrations. Regression equations were derived that related the observed ti's to the concentrations of individual gases. Comparison of the combined-gas-exposure data with results obtained from the individual gas exposures indicated that there was no evidence of synergistic action, i.e., that the effect of the combination was never greater than that predicted by the sum of the two individual gas effects. Evidence did exist for an inhibitory or antagonistic effect of undefined mechanism when acrolein was present in the mixture at concentrations of lesser toxic potency than that of CO. An empirical equation was derived that allows the calculation of a predicted ti for combinations of CO and acrolein concentrations within the ranges utilized in the experimental exposures.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration sponsored a two-day meeting in December 1989 as part of a continuing program to address issues of human factors and personnel performance in aviation maintenance and inspection. This meeting focused on issues of information exchange and communications. The primary goal was to consider means of ensuring that the exchange of information within the industry responsible for the maintenance of the U.S. air carrier fleet is accurate, efficient, and responsive to the particular needs of this industry. Presentations representing the full spectrum of interests in commercial aviation were given. Presentations also covered related efforts from other fields as well as new technologies having possible application to aviation maintenance. Eight recommendations were made to the Federal Aviation Administration regarding effective communications methodology among the various members of the maintenance industry. Specific recommendations address the expedited development of a central database to support aviation maintenance, data standardization, electronic transmission of maintenance information, improved safety and trend analyses, government and industry programs considering information exchange, and specific human factors that should be incorporated into new procedures and systems.

AB - Over the next two decades, the Federal Aviation Administration's plan for new automated systems will change the air traffic control specialist's (ATCS) job, as many of the current controller's tasks will become automated. The purpose of this paper was to review the findings from current research on selection of ATCSs that may guide the design of selection systems for future controllers. To accomplish this, two lines of research were presented: 1) projected changes in job tasks resulting from planned automation, and 2) the current ATCS selection system. A study completed in 1987 estimated that 48 of 337 job tasks of the enroute controller would be substantially changed with implementation of the Initial Sector Suites (ISSS). In light of the projected changes, the current selection system was evaluated in terms of the methodologies used for selection and the utility and validity of those methodologies. The current job is a highly complex set of tasks and demands high levels and active application of certain cognitive abilities, such as spatial perception, information processing, reasoning and decision making. Evaluation of the changes projected in the job over the next two decades suggested that a similar performance-based selection system could maintain utility through implementation of the ISSS. However, implementation of the more advanced automation may significantly change the cognitive skills and abilities required for successful performance. Thus, work toward selection for the advanced automated environment should begin immediately.

AB - Four different pavement test sections were subjected to freeze-thaw cycling in CRREL's Frost Effects Research Facility (FERF). The test sections, each 610 cm in length, consisted of 1) 15.2 cm of asphalt concrete pavement over a clay subgrade, 2) 15.2 cm of asphalt concrete over 10.2 cm of crushed gravel over a clay subgrade, 3) 5.1 cm of asphalt concrete over 17.8 cm of crushed gravel over 20.3 cm of clean sand over a clay subgrade, and 4) 5.1 cm of asphalt concrete over 25.4 cm of crushed gravel over 12.7 cm of clean sand over a clay subgrade. Thermocouples were imbedded throughout the pavement structure and subgrade. During the thawing periods, deflection measurements were made at four locations in each test section using a Dynatest Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). The results of the deflection measurements are presented here. An analysis was done to quantify the subgrade strength based solely on FWD measurements. It was also shown that a relationship existed between thaw depth and FWD measurement in the subgrade.

To accomplish this a simulation was developed and performed at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center. The simulation used scenarios constructed from records of live air traffic at five adjacent Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) sectors. Nine full performance level air traffic control specialists from the Atlanta ARTCC sectors simulated participated as subjects. Four delay levels were employed corresponding to: current equipment with and without satellite link, and VSCS with and without satellite. Three levels of communications workload were used based on 70 percent, 90 percent, and 110 percent of reference values for the actual sectors. VSCS delays were not found to have any statistically significant impact on any measure. Satellite delays were found to be associated with a statistically significant increase in one kind of communication disruption (step-ons) at the highest level of communications workload used in the study.

AB - Federal Aviation Regulations permit the routine use of contact lenses by civilian pilots to satisfy the distant visual acuity requirements for obtaining medical certificates. Specific information identifying the prevalence of both defective distant vision and contact lenses in the civil airman population is required to guide future medical certification decisions, policy changes, and education safety programs to aviation personnel. A descriptive, retrospective epidemiologic study was performed of active airmen by 5-year intervals for a 20-year period (1967-1987) using FAA databases and publications. The percentage of airmen who use contact lenses quadrupled during the study period. When stratified by class of medical certificate and age, the prevalence rates for airmen with first-class medical certificates and older airmen showed the largest increases. The increasing use of contact lenses and the variety of design, materials, and applications which may be employed by the pilot population mandate ongoing review for adverse changes and safety consequences.

AB - A series of dynamic impact tests were conducted using a prototype seat with an energy absorbing mechanism as part of the seat pan. The seat frame was designed to represent a typical commuter aircraft passenger seat. Tests were conducted in an orientation simulating a vertical impact with a 30-degree nose-down aircraft attitude. The impact severity for these tests ranged from 15 to 33 Gs. Seat pan stroke and occupant lumbar reaction forces were measured. Results indicate the axial force measured in the lumbar spine of a fiftieth percentile Hybrid II dummy can be limited to a peak value less than 1,500 pounds during vertical impact tests of 33 G with a seat pan stroke distance of 6.3 inches.

AB - Two concepts for improved aircraft in-flight smoke evacuation were analyzed and tested. The concept definition and evaluation efforts involved an additional ventilation outflow valve on the aircraft underside along with either increased ventilation air volume from the engine compressors or a supplemental ram air supply. Subsequent test aircraft modification involved addition of a pressure controlling outflow valve on the top of the fuselage and upgraded engine bleed air volume flow for cabin air-conditioning. Ground and flight tests were conducted on a test B757 with buoyant and nonbuoyant theatrical smokes generated continuously in various places in the passenger cabin. Buoyant smoke could be localized only when generated in the vicinity of the upper lobe outflow valve. Nonbuoyant smoke could be localized only when generated in the vicinity of an outflow valve, whether the valve was on the top or bottom of the fuselage. The buoyant smoke was formulated to have the same type flow behavior as a plume from the visible flames of a burning surface. The nonbuoyant smoke might be more representative of a smoldering material.

AB - This study was designed to determine the relationships among experimental tests, the tests currently used to select entrants into the FAA's Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) Academy Nonradar Screening Program, and Academy success. A battery of paper-and-pencil tests, including the Directional Headings Test (DHT) which was developed at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute and subsequently modified for this study, and the Dial Reading Test (DRT) was administered to 1,255 students who entered in 1987. Scores on the current selection measures, the Multiplex Controller Aptitude Test (MCAT) and Abstract Reasoning Test (ART), were obtained from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The pass, fail, and withdrawal rates for the sample were compared to performance levels on the experimental and OPM tests. Several Academy performance criteria and test results were intercorrelated and stepwise multiple regression analyses were conducted to predict overall Academy success and final grades. Results demonstrated that the DHT and DRT could be used to assess the potential of entrants to successfully complete the Academy Screen. Even though the current ATCS applicant group differs from those entering the Academy a decade ago on several dimensions (e.g., education and experience), the multiple correlation of the DHT, DRT, and MCAT scores with Academy success remained relatively unchanged. Results suggest that there are other test measures which, when combined with the MCAT, would be better predictors than the existing battery of selection tests.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has seldom assessed the satisfaction of pilot "customers" with the services provided by its air traffic facilities. Most available information about pilots' satisfaction with air traffic control (ATC) services is anecdotal; thus, decisions affecting the users have been based on management's perceptions rather than on an objective measure of the flying public's satisfaction with the services provided. The purpose of this study was to assess user satisfaction with the services provided by one air traffic facility, the Montgomery County, Texas Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS). The study also provides the FAA with a model for assessing user satisfaction with other ATC services. Overall, pilots who responded to the survey were very satisfied with the performance of the specialists at the Montgomery County AFSS, and were slightly less satisfied with the services provided by the facility. Private pilots were more satisfied than were airline transport pilots with most of the services. The pilots' perceptions of how the FSS weather briefers performed their jobs affected ratings of satisfaction with the facility's services. A significant area of dissatisfaction to pilots was the amount of time they thought was required to reach a pilot briefer, especially during inclement weather.

AB - An experiment was conducted to evaluate the relation of type and degree of color vision deficiency and aeromedical color vision screening test scores to performance of color-dependent tasks of air traffic control (ATC) specialists. The subjects included 37 normal trichromats of which 6 had mild color abnormalities. Those subjects with color vision deficiency included 18 simple anomalous trichromats, 22 extreme anomalous trichromats, and 31 dichromats; both protan and deutan types were included. Simulations of ATC color tasks concerned color coding in flight progress strips used at en route centers, color weather radar systems used at flight service stations and en route centers, and the aviation signal light indicator light and aircraft lights as pertinent to ATC tower operations. Errors were rare among normals and those with mild color abnormalities in simulated normal operating conditions. Error frequency in the simulated ATC tasks was significantly higher among simple anomalous trichromats, and those with more severe deficiencies. The aeromedical screening tests were generally acceptable in terms of selecting individuals that did not make errors on the ATC tasks. These findings support the requirement that air traffic control personnel be normal trichromats. Recommendations for improvement of job-related color vision screening are discussed.

AB - The identification of risk factors for adverse cardiac events is valuable to the certification of airmen. This study examines the importance of right bundle branch block (RBBB) as a risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI), atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Using a non-concurrent prospective design, 433 Class I airmen between the ages of 35 and 60 years who had an RBBB on their electrocardiogram (ECG) in 1970 were matched to 338 control Class I airmen who had no abnormalities on their 1970 ECG. Using the longitudinal database maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the medical records of these airmen were screened for MI, ASHD, and CHD through the end of 1985. Questionnaires were sent to airmen with incomplete data on the computerized database. The first occurrence of any of these outcomes was considered an adverse cardiac event. In the case group, 24 cardiac events occurred (3.93/1,000 person-years) compared with 9 events in the control group (1.87/ 1,000 person-years). The relative risk was 2.012 with 95 percent confidence intervals of .994 to 4.484. The findings suggest an increased risk of adverse cardiac events but are of borderline statistical significance.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1990/05 SP - 148 p. AB - The results of an analysis of two rigid layer pavement systems are presented. The outcome of the study resulted in the development of a design procedure which can account for the materials properties of the stabilized materials layer. The study employed the use of elastic layer theory and regression analysis to predict the interior stress under aircraft loadings. Equivalent interior stress is used as the design criteria such that a single-layer rigid pavement on subgrade is equated to a two-layer system with a cement-treated base course and a portland cement concrete surface. The comparison of the developed procedures to the existing procedures shows both allowable decreases and increases in the thickness of the portland cement concrete layer. The design procedure is an iterative process and has been computerized using IBM Basic. Two programs, the CTBDES and the CTBEVAL, are included in the report.

Twenty-six tests were conducted with Monsanto Skydrol 500B-4 and Chevron Hy-Jet IV-A fire resistant phosphate ester-based hydraulic fluid. The testing was conducted to determine the conditions necessary for ignition and self-sustained burning of these fluids and to attempt to simulate what probably happened in the wheel-well fire. The testing determined that under certain conditions these fluids will ignite and continue to burn after the ignition source is removed.

CHANGES IN DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ACADEMY ENTRANTS AND BIODEMOGRAPHIC PREDICTORS OF SUCCESS IN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER SELECTION AND ACADEMY SCREENING PY - 1990/03 SP - 20 p. AB - A biographical questionnaire (BQ) was completed by 3,578 air traffic control students who entered the Federal Aviation Administration Academy between October 1985 and September 1987. The demographic characteristics of these recent Academy trainees (from a more stabilized poststrike selection process) were compared with two previous groups of Academy entrants. The impact of biodemographic characteristics on success in air traffic control specialist (ATCS) training was evaluated for all entrants, and then for gender and minority status subgroups. Also, results were obtained from the aptitude tests that were used to select the Academy entrants. Pooled within-groups correlations between the discriminating variables and the canonical discriminant function were calculated to determine the characteristics related to Academy pass/fail status. Some of the variables that were significantly related to Academy performance included high school math grades, personal performance expectations, age, and the number of times an ATCS applicant had taken the qualifying aptitude tests. The most consistent and important predictor of success was the average grade in high school mathematics courses, while other predictors had varying significance depending on the demographic subgroup. While the age of Academy students (despite the age-30 limitation) bears a strong and consistent relationship to Academy success, other biodemographic factors can be used to improve recruitment and selection of ATCSs.

AB - Training needs of first-level, middle-level, and upper-level managers within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were assessed through the analysis of two current agency surveys: the biennial Job Satisfaction Survey and the new, annual Survey-Feedback-Action Program. Areas of analysis included the identification of areas of strong and weak performance among managers, comparisons of perceptions of management at different levels within an organization, supervisory skills among managers, differences between ratings of male and female managers, and the relationship between responses to job context and management items. Results of the analyses indicated that the relative weak areas of performance among FAA management were in communication and performance management. Differences in perceptions of management among employees at different organizational levels suggested a need for additional study of potentially dysfunctional communication patterns in large facilities to enhance development of training in communication skills. Integration of these results with the study of mid-level managerial functions and competencies is also necessary for application to training. The job satisfaction surveys served to provide a first step toward improved systematization of management development and training.

AB - While midair collisions between aircraft are extremely rare occurrences, "near midair" incidents are more common. The present study sought to evaluate the gains in conspicuity that might be realized if flashing or color were added as redundant cues to indicate the presence of unexpected, nontracked aircraft entering controlled airspace and to examine the extent to which increased taskload and fatigue might influence the expected gains. Sixty-four subjects monitored a simulated air traffic control task over a 2-hour period for possible conflict situations (their primary task) under either high or low primary taskload conditions. They also monitored for occasional intrusions by light aircraft identifiable on the basis of target shape alone or with color and/or flashing added as redundant cues. Flashing as a redundant cue was found to be superior to color in all aspects tested; unlike color, detection of flashing targets was unaffected by screen location and by changes in primary taskload. Flashing was also least affected by monitoring fatigue. It was concluded that the superiority of flashing over color in attracting attention to objects in a display must be weighed against its possible potential for distraction. A practical means of accomplishing this in operational situations is through the use of touch sensitive displays to both acknowledge/confirm target location and to deactivate flashing.

VOLUME II: LABORATORY AND FIELD STUDIES. FINAL REPORT PY - 1990/01 SP - v.p. AB - Because coal tars are resistant to gasoline and jet fuel, they have been used for many years as a protective coating on asphalt pavements for airport parking areas, ramps, taxiways and runways. Applications include both coal tar emulsions and rubberized coal tar emulsions, applied with sand to provide skid resistance and stability to the seal coats. Volume I of this report describes the results of a state-of-the-art study conducted during the first year of the project. The report describes the results of contacts with industry and user agencies, site visits to airports, and the results of experimental work conducted by industrial and governmental agencies, and results of the testing done by the research team during the first year of the project. Volume II of the report includes the results of an experimental laboratory and field investigation conducted at the University of Nevada at Reno. The focus on the University program was to develop test procedures that would measure workability, scuff, adhesion and fuel resistance properties of coal tar emulsion seal coats. This program developed a method for designing seal coat formulations test procedures that could be used for quality assurance purposes. Volume II includes the test data generated in the study, including measurements made on field test sections.

AB - This document contains the results of a study conducted in 1987 to identify the number of jobs and the income and sales (total output) created by civilian aviation in Washington. An airline passenger survey and transient general aviation surveys were done at Tri-Cities Airport (Pasco) and transient general aviation surveys were done at Renton Municipal and Boeing Field/King County International. Surveys were also sent to 2,140 businesses throughout the state. Results from these surveys, and multipliers from the Washington State Input-Output Study updated to 1987, were used to estimate the economic benefits of aviation in the state. Some of the findings are as follows: Direct benefits from the civilian aviation sector accounted for 105,533 jobs, $3.8 billion in income and $14.0 billion in sales. An estimated 3.7 million non-resident airline passengers visited Washington and spent $781.2 million in the state. Approximately 1.6 million non-resident general aviation visitors spent a total of $297.4 million in the state. Indirect benefits, representing non-aviation jobs, income and sales that would be lost to the state if aviation were no longer available, totaled 115,900 jobs, $2.0 billion in income and $5.8 billion in sales. Induced benefits, created from the recycling effects of direct and indirect economic activity, amounted to an additional 201,174 jobs, $3.3 billion in income and $10.3 billion in sales. Total benefits of aviation from direct, indirect and induced sources amounted to 422,607 jobs, $9.1 billion in income and $30.1 billion in sales in 1987.

AB - The recent literature pertaining to ozone contamination of airliner cabins is reviewed. Measurements in airliner cabins without filters showed that ozone levels were about 50 percent of atmospheric ozone. Filters were about 90 percent effective in destroying ozone. Ozone (0.12 to 0.14 ppmv) caused mild subjective respiratory irritation in exercising males, but 0.20 to 0.30 ppmv did not have adverse effects on patients with chronic heart or lung disease. Ozone (1.0 to 2.0 ppmv) decreased survival time of influenza-infected rats and mice, and suppressed the capacity of lung macrophages to destroy listeria. Airway responses to ozone are divided into an early parasympathetically mediated bronchoconstrictive phase and a later histamine-mediated congestive phase. Evidence indicates that intracellular free radicals are responsible for ozone damage and that the damage may be spread to other cells by toxic intermediate products: antioxidants provide some protection to cells in vitro from ozone but dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins by humans has only a weak effect, if any.

AB - When the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) established a mandatory action intended to improve access to, and opening of, Type 3 emergency exits, the Northwest Montain Region identified a need for a study to evaluate the proposed changes against existing minimum requirements of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). The results indicate that the proposed CAA configuration and the alternative configuration were both more effective than the minimum configuration required by the FARs as measured by evacuation flow rate. There were no significant differences in the exit preparation time among the four seating arrangements.

AB - At the request of Scott Aviation, performance tests of the crew portable protective breathing equipment (CPBE) device were conducted at ground level and 8,000 feet altitude. The first tests at ground level measured contaminant leakage, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, inhalation/exhalation pressures and internal-external dry-bulb temperatures; replications at 8,000 feet were performed for all the variable except contaminant leakage. For ten male subjects, the device proved satisfactory for all measures tested; compliance with Federal Aviation Administration Action Notice A-8150.2 could not be established for internal CPBE temperature since no wet-bulb values were obtained. Devices were also tested on nine female subjects; the findings were successful for all measures except contaminant leakage. A new set of tests was conducted after changes in neck seal material and opening size were made by Scott Aviation, using only one male and five females with small neck circumferences and one male with a large neck size. These tests proved successful for all but two devices on subjects with unusually protruding larynxes, for which a further reduction in neck seal opening size afforded adequate protection for these individuals, as well as an acceptable comfort level for a large individual. It is concluded that the Scott CPBE device with a 1/16 inch thick neoprene foam neck seal, having a 2.5 inch diameter opening, performs as required by Action Notice A-8150.2 for the parameters measured.

PHASE 1. EVACUATIONS IN SMOKE PY - 1989/11 SP - 33 p. AB - The effects of Passenger Protective Breathing Equipment (PPBE) on the time required for simulated emergency evacuations through type III and Type IV overwing aircraft exits were studied in two quasi-independent experiments, one in clear air and another in smoke. Two different types of PPBE, the Dupont PELS and the Sabre Industries Sabre, were used in both experiments. Eight groups of 20 subjects participated in each experiment; each group of subjects evacuted with/without PPBE. The order of PPBE presentation condition was counterbalanced to allow analysis of evacuation experience, i.e. learning. The results obtained supported the conclusion that exit hatch opening size was the most important factor in determining the time required to evacuate through these exits, followed next by the effects of smoke, and finally by the wearing of PPBE. It was further concluded that because the PPBE effects were isolated to the time required to cross the exit hatch opening, the effects of PPBE were actually dependent on exit hatch opening size. The effects of smoke were seen to result from the necessity of using tactile information to control egress in the impowerished visual environment afforded subjects. These results were discussed in relation to passenger ergonomics and aircraft design.

VOLUME 2. APPENDIXES D, E, AND F PY - 1989/11 SP - 289 p. AB - At the request of the Director, Southwest Region, the Technical Center conducted a series of dynamic, real-time, air traffic control simulations off selected aspects of the D/FW Metroplex Air Traffic System Plan. Using D/FW controllers as subjects, the simulations provided an opportunity to evaluate proposed changes in area flow patterns and traffic management and to experience simultaneous approaches to the four parallel runway configurations under consideration for D/FW. The results of these simulations demonstrated that, even when faced with up to twice their normal traffic load, the controllers could maintain a smooth and safe flow of traffic using the new configurations proposed for the D/FW area. The D/FW Evaluation Team declared that the 'parallel arrival routes, separate altitudes for high performance turboprops, increased departure routes, and stratified sectors all proved to be valuable controller tools'. In addition, simulation of the four simultaneous parallel approaches led uhe Evaluation Team to 'enthusiastically endorse the concept of four simultaneous approaches to the D/FW airport' and to affirm that 'in each and every case the concept proved to be safe' even though frequently challenged by the unlikely conditions of 30 degree blunders without communications.

VOLUME 2. APPENDIXES PY - 1989/11 SP - 266 p. AB - At the request of the Atlanta (ATL) Facility, the Technical Center conducted dynamic real-time simulations of selected aspects of the Atlanta Tower's Airport Enhancement Plan. Atlanta controllers, who served as subjects, evaluated traffic flow to a three runway configuration with both a third parallel runway, 3000 feet south of existing runway 9R and a 30 degree converging runway. Large numbers of blunders (deviations of inbound aircraft away from their assigned localizer paths) were introduced to exercise the proposed system. In over 90 blunders during approaches to the third parallel runway, 5 resulted in closure distances between aircraft small enough to merit detailed analysis. The smallest horizontal distance involved 30 degree blunders across the 3000-foot separation with four of these also simulating a complete loss of communications. The overall simulation results demonstrated the controller's ability to maintain an orderly flow of traffic to both the triple parallel and converging runway configurations. When repeatedly challenged by the unlikely combination of 30 degree NORDO blunders, 94 percent were managed without incident. The decision on runway separation distances for new construction or runways in Atlanta should not be based solely on the results of this simulation. Additional relevant data is now available which could affect the results, including navigation data from Chicago O'Hare, and automation and radar data being collected at Memphis, TN and Raleigh-Durham, NC.

The current standard is 2 nautical miles (nmi) and the proposed new standard is 1.5 nmi. Four full performance level air traffic controllers participated in 12 hours of simulated air traffic control activity in which separation standards were altered in a balanced fashion after each 1 hour block of simulation. Data were collected on multiple airspace and operator performance variables. Also collected were workload and observer estimates. The goal was to determine if system performance could be improved without compromising safety. Results indicated an increased frequency of landings using the 1.5 nmi standard indicating a finite increase in airport capacity. There were no indications of reduced safety or increased operator workload. Since the data were generated on a small sample, results should be considered indicative rather than conclusive.

VOLUME 3. INDIANAPOLIS DOWNTOWN HELIPORT DATA PLOTS PY - 1989/10 SP - 436 p. AB - During the summer of 1987 heliport environmental data were collected at the Indianapolis Downtown Heliport and at New York's Wall Street Heliport. The purpose of this data collection activity was to obtain measures of rotorwash in the heliport environment due to maneuvering helicopters, and to obtain pilot perceptions and observations concerning maneuvering and parking separation criteria. Ten wind vector transmitters were situated at various locations around the heliport in order to gather information to describe the rotorwash induced wind speed and direction changes. Pilot interviews were also conducted at these heliports. This volume (Volume 3) provides the plots generated from the wind sensor data collected at Indianapolis Downtown Heliport. The results of this study will be considered in future modifications of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Heliport Design Advisory Circular.

AB - An updated version of an 18-inch internally lighted wind cone was evaluated. The original model was evaluated at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center. The results of that evaluation, as detailed in Technical Note DOT/FAA/CT-TN85/4 (February 1985), revealed that the original model of the internally lighted wind cone did not provide adequate wind direction and speed information under low velocity (10 knots or less) wind conditions. The new model was installed in close proximity to the standard externally lighted wind cone at the Atlantic City International Airport, N.J., to permit a comparative evaluation by FAA and general aviation pilots. Results of th testing, accomplished during taxi and flight operations under wind conditions of 10 knots or less, revealed that the updated model still does not provide adequate wind direction and speed information. Participating pilots preferred the standard externally lighted wind cone.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1989/07 SP - 174 p. AB - The subject of polymer concrete (PC) has generated a lot of interest among researchers during the past decade. This is due to the many advantages that polymer concrete pavement offers compared to regular portland cement concrete. The advantages of polymer concrete, when compared to portland cement concrete, include quick curing and setting, reduced moisture sensitivity and permeability and improved mechanical properties resulting in reduced pavement thickness to support the same load. These advantages will lead to attractive life cycle cost benefits. Material properties and mix designs for PC with epoxy, methylmethacrylate (MMA) and polyester as the binder material have been investigated and are presented in part I of this report. Part II contains pavement thickness design charts, developed for various aircraft, quality control methods, construction procedures and cost analysis. It has been shown in this study that increased material cost of PC can be offset by the reduced thickness of the pavement. In order to develop life cycle cost information, it is necessary to obtain field performance data of PC pavement, especially in the composite design mode.

AB - A series of flight tests were performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center at the Miami/Tamiami, Florida Airport, to compare the course quality of an instrumented landing system (ILS) with a collocated Microwave Landing System (MLS). The Technical Center's test bed MLS was transported to and collocated with the commissioned category 1 ILS on runway 9R at Tamiami. The flight data that was collected indicate that the MLS has less scalloping than the ILS and the MLS azimuth is unaffected by overflight interference.

AB - At the request of the Microwave Landing System (MLS) Program Office, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center conducted an operational demonstration and flight test of the MLS at Miami/Tamiami, Florida Airport. The demonstration/flight test was conducted in conjunction with an MLS seminar jointly sponsored by U.S. Department of Transportation, FAA, and Transport Canada Aviation Group. The Technical Center's MLS test bed, consisting of a 1.5 degree beamwidth elevation station and a 2 degree beamwidth azimuth station, was transported to, and temporarily installed at the Miami/Tamiami Airport on runway 9R, collocated with the commissioned instrument landing system (ILS). Additionally, an E-Systems preproduction model precision distance measuring equipment (DME/P) transponder was also installed adjacent to the runway 9R localizer equipment shelter. On March 29, 1989, seven 1-hour demonstration and data collection flights were flown for over 60 aviation, industry, and U.S. and international Government attendees. By careful siting of the MLS on runway 9R, proportional MLS signal coverage was also obtained in the approach regions of runways 9L and 13. By utilizing Technical Center designed and fabricated MLS area navigation (RNAV) computer on board the demonstration aircraft, precision approaches were flown not only to runway 9R, but also to runways 9L and 13. This demonstrated the tremendous flexibility and operational capability of MLS. The MLS signal-in-space on runway 9R met category 2 ILS tolerances. No degredation of the ILS performance due to the MLS collocation was detected during this demonstration.

The Mode S Performance tests will provide a performance baseline and site-adaptation optimization effort for each Mode S configuration (terminal, en route, and multi-sensor). System level accuracy and resolution tests will be conducted using live test aircraft and precision trackers. These tests have not been previously accomplished due to the lack of multiple sensors and precision trackers at the contractor's facility. A stress test effort will also be conducted to characterize the performance of the Mode S sensor beyond its specified requirements. This plan addresses the National Airspace system requirements and test objective as outlined in the Mode S Master Test Plan. This plan also identifies the organizational responsibilities, resources, coordination efforts, and success criteria to develop a set of test procedures to accomplish the above tests.

AB - Two types of crewmember protective breathing equipment (PBE) were performance tested for compliance with Action Notice A-8150.2 at ground level and 8,000 feet altitude. PBE #1 was a hood with oral-nasal mask, which used potassium superoxide to remove carbon dioxide and produce its oxygen supply. PBE #2 was a hood only, which contained lithium hydroxide to absorb carbon dioxide and compressed oxygen cylinders to supply breathable air. The parameters tested were PBE oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, temperature and breathing resistance-pressure. Five units of each PBE type were subjected to testing; for within-PBE comparisons, each type of unit was worn by the same human subjects at both altitudes. Relatively little difference in PBE performance was obtained at the different altitudes for both types of PBE. Oxygen partial pressures were somewhat reduced at the higher altitude for both types of PBE, carbon dioxide partial pressure was slightly greater at ground level for PBE #2, internal temperature was higher for PBE #2 than PBE #1, and exhalation pressure was greater at ground level than at 8,000 feet for PBE #1. The results indicate that both types of PBE performed adequately for the intended purpose at either altitude, but further testing would be necessary to certify PBE to meet additional requirements, such as use at altitudes above 8,000 feet.

AB - State-trait anxiety scores were used prior to the 1981 strike of air traffic control specialists (ATCS) to estimate perceived levels of job stress in field studies of this occupational group. The present study assessed the relationship between anxiety, as measured by the State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI) and post-strike ATCS trainee success at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy (FAA) and during field training. The STPI was administered to students who entered the FAA Academy between June 1984 and September 1985. Academy test scores were obtained for 1,790 students in the enroute option. Criterion data included the field training status of the Academy graduates as of July 1988. Statistical analyses determined the relationships between ATCS student scores on the STPI measures and (a) normative data and (b) Academy and field performance. ATCS students reported significant lower state (current level) and trait (proneness) levels of anxiety than did either college students or military recruits. Individuals who were unsuccessful at the Academy, as well as those who were unsuccessful in the field, had higher overall anxiety scores. Trainees who had relatively high scores (for ATCS) on a combined index of the trait and state measures of anxiety exhibited significantly higher percentages of Academy failures/withdrawals, percentages of option switches in the field, and overall field attrition than did trainees with low scores. Results support the operation of some personality-related self-selection among ATCS applicants regarding anxiety, and the importance of this characteristic for ATCS job success.

AB - This study compared correlations between Office of Personnel Management (OPM) selection test scores for air traffic control specialists (ATCS) and scores from the Federal Aviation Administration Academy's second-stage screening program with measures of field training performance. Field training performance measures were collected for 3,185 en route and 1,740 terminal ATCS developmentals. Baseline data were also collected from over 125,000 applicants who took the OPM ATCS selection battery and over 9,000 entrants to Academy programs. Separate analyses were conducted for developmentals assigned to en route centers, visual flight rules (VFR) towers, and terminal radar facilities. The multiplex controller aptitude test (MCAT) predicts field training performance better for en route developmental than any other OPM test. MCAT is not predictive of field training performance for terminal developmentals, but scores on the occupational knowledge test are predictive. For both en route and terminal developmentals, Academy laboratory performance scores are more predictive of field training performance than are academic test scores; for developmentals at VFR towers, the average Academy block test score predicts about as well as the laboratory performance scores. Adjusting correlations for restriction in the range of scores on selection procedures revealed that while the OPM rating and the Academy course grade predict some measures of developmental training performance equally well, the Academy performance measures, particularly the laboratory performance scores, are better predictors of supervisor/instructor ratings and training status than are OPM scores. It was concluded that any analyses of training performance must be conducted separately for developmentals in each option because of the disparate relationships between predictors and criteria.

VOLUME 2. WALL STREET HELIPORT DATA PLOTS PY - 1989/05 AB - During the summer of 1987 heliport environmental data were collected at Indianapolis Downtown Heliport and at New York's Wall Street Heliport. The purpose of this data collection activity was to obtain measures of rotorwash in the heliport environment due to maneuvering helicopters, and to obtain pilot perceptions and observations concerning maneuvering and parking separation criteria. Ten wind vector transmitters were situated at various locations around the heliport in order to gather information to describe the rotorwash induced wind speed and direction changes. Pilot interviews were also conducted at these heliports. Volume 1 of this report provides a summary of the results of this activity. Volume 3 provides the plots generated from the wind sensor data collected at the Indianapolis downtown Heliport. This volume (Volume 2) provides the plots generated from the wind sensor data collected at New York's Wall Street Heliport. The results of this study will be considered in future modifications of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Heliport Design Advisory Circular.

AB - This study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of the Puritan-Bennett portable crew protective breathing device for contaminant leaks. O2, CO2 levels, inhalation/exhalation pressure, and inhalation temperature. Tests were conducted in the facilities of the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, OK, (test chamber and altitude chamber). The duration and workload profile are described in FAA Action Notice A-8150.2. The test sequence followed an iterative process in which problems were identified, modifications made to correct deficiencies, and the device retested until problems could be solved. The test sequence was as follows: First, the neck seal material was not elastic enough and a more suitable material was identified and substituted; Second, the size of the opening of the neck seal had to be reduced to protect the smaller subjects; Third, identification of increased CO2 resulting from the occasional inversion of the exhalation valve was found and was solved by improving the valve support design; Fourth, leaks encountered at locations other than neck seals were overcome through improved quality control for more impermeable seams and hardware seals. Thus, with adequate quality assurance, the final version of the Puritan-Bennett crewmember portable protective breathing device, as tested at CAMI, would meet the requirements of FAA's Action Notice A-8150.2 regarding contaminant leak protection O2 concentration, CO2 concentration, inhalation/exhalation pressures and inhalation temperature.

PHASE I - LABORATORY INVESTIGATION. PHASE II - RUTTING TESTS. FINAL REPORT PY - 1989/05 SP - 325 p. AB - The results of a research effort executed at Central State University, Manufacturing Engineering Department on the development of theoretical models for low-volume airport pavement stabilization of clay-silt systems are documented. This study is considered very significant because it identifies a non-traditional method of soil stabilization for improving the subgrade strength of poorly graded clay-silt, considered one of the most difficult soil types to stabilize. The research (Phase I) focuses on: (1) Identification of a chemical additive capable of increasing the load bearing strength of clay-silt soil; (2) Additive application to a clay-silt soil system leading to increased bearing strength; (3) Development of mathematical models for soil strength prediction; and (4) In Phase II, field validation of the test results through studies of pavement rutting. Among several effective non-traditional organic additives tested in this research, the two-part Epoxy system, Bisphenol A/Epichlorohydrin resin plus a Polyamide hardener gave the best result as measured by the dry CBR test. The choice of the dry CBR test performed to ASTM specification was motivated by a need to capture optimum moisture content as a variable in addition to percent additive, clay-silt ratio, temperature and dry density, using a full factorial experimental design. The statistical regression models developed support the hypothesis that only additive percentage, moisture content and temperature are significant variables influencing the strength of the clay-silt soil system tested. In Phase II the rutting validation study confirmed the effectiveness of the chemical stabilizing agent identified for strengthening a clay-silt soil at the 4% level of additive application. Based on the results of the rutting test conducted on a Tire Force Machine at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, the stabilized pavement will sustain an aircraft load of 10,000 lbs applied through 1000 wheel load passes while meeting the 1/2 in. rutting criteria.

A STUDY OF PASSENGER ENERGY EXPENDITURE DURING AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION PY - 1989/03 SP - 39 p. AB - In an earlier study, workloads were determined for passengers during an emergency evacuation. The evacuation tests were conducted in an orderly manner and were suggested as representative of a moderate workload. The current study is a continuation and amplification of that study and utilizes similar techniques in determining workload. In this study, passengers were required to avoid the aircraft aisles and to traverse over seat backs to the exit in order to simulate a maximum effort which might be anticipated in an emergency. Thus, maximum workload could be estimated more realistically. This information is necessary to formulate qualification requirements for passenger protective breathing equipment (PPBE). Recommended values proposed in the first study for work profile and characteristics of the PPBE should be modified. The subject population also should include one or two individuals who meet or exceed the weight of the 95th percentile male.

AB - This report contains the Fiscal Years 1989-2000 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forecasts of aviation activity at FAA facilities. These include airports with FAA control towers, air route traffic control centers, and flight service stations. Detailed forecasts were made for the four major users of the National Aviation System: air carriers, air taxi/commuters, general aviation and the military. The forecasts have been prepared to meet the budget and planning needs of the constituent units of the FAA and to provide information that can be used by state and local authorities, by the aviation industry, and by the general public. The overall outlook for the forecast period is for continued economic growth, rising real fuel prices, and moderate inflation. Based upon these assumptions, aviation activity by fiscal year 2000 is forecast to increase by 31.0% at towered airports (commuters, 51.8%; air carriers, 34.6%; general aviation, 27.5%; military, 0.0%), 32.0% at air route traffic control centers (commuters, 55.2%; air carriers, 33.7%; general aviation 30.0%; military, 0.0%), and 7.8% in flight services performed. Hours flown by general aviation are forecast to increase 14.9% and helicopter hours flown, 82.6%. Scheduled domestic revenue passenger miles (RPM's) are forecast to increase 73.6%, with scheduled international RPM's forecast to increase by 104.9%; and regionals/commuters RPM's forecast to increase by 158.7%.

AB - A series of 55 light-airplane accidents was examined in an effort to demonstrate the role of seats in the genesis of injury in seat occupants. Case selection attempted to include only those events in which significant but not extreme accelerations occurred. Ten of the 55 cases involved joint failure of seats and restraint systems. The majority of the observations were provided by aviation medical examiners who were typically very highly motivated practitioners of medicine with special interests and accomplishments in aviation. The other cases were reported by Federal Aviation Administration accident investigators. No reliable marker of energy level was found in the data collected to control the finding that large accelerations tend to injure people and damage seats as well as most other structures regardless of the other interrelationships that might be involved. The existence of seat damage does little, by itself, to define the seat's role in injury causation. Interpretation of injuries established by clinical and autopsy observations suggest that the large majority of injuries are caused by mechanisms which can proceed independently of seat failure. Restraint systems likely play the more important role.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1989/02 SP - 100 p. AB - This report documents the current status of the states' role in the national air transportation system. It covers the following topics: the structure of state aviation agencies; aviation generated tax revenues at the state level; state aviation program expenditures; state activities to enhance airport system capacity and utility; and state programs to document aviation's contribution and impact. This report is based on an extensive survey of the 50 states. The written survey was complimented, in nearly every case, with one or more telephone conversations between the National Association of State Aviation Officials Center for Aviation Research and Education staff and the Director or staff of the state aviation agency.

TIMES-TO-INCAPACITATION FOR RATS EXPOSED TO CARBON MONOXIDE ALONE, TO HYDROGEN CYANIDE ALONE, AND TO MIXTURES OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN CYANIDE PY - 1989/01 SP - 27 p. AB - Laboratory rats were exposed to experimental atmospheres that contained: (a) carbon monoxide (CO) in air; (b) hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in air; and (c) mixtures of CO and HCN in air. The toxic potency of each of the three types of environments was evaluated toxicokinetically by measurement of time-to-incapacitation as a function of the toxic gas concentrations. Regression equations were derived that describe those relationships for exposure to CO or HCN alone. Analysis of the data from the combined-gas exposures, and comparison of that data with the results obtained from the exposures to each gas alone, lead to the conclusion that the toxicity of the combination is definitely greater than would be produced by either gas alone. There was, however, no evidence for a synergistic action--in which the effect of the combination would have been greater than that predicted from the sum of the two individual effects. An empirical equation was derived that allows calculation of a predicted time-to-incapacitation for any combination of CO and HCN concentrations that are within the ranges utilized in the experimental exposures.

AB - Future levels of air traffic control automation will incorporate computer-aiding features designed to alert the controller to upcoming problem situations by displaying information that will identify the situation and suggest possible solutions. Concerns have been expressed that reliance on such aids may lead to a reduced capacity to detect and respond to infrequent failures of the automation. The present study employed a simulated air traffic control monitoring task with a computer-aiding feature designed to detect possible aircraft conflict situations. The ability of subjects to identify occasional failures of the computer-aiding feature in detecting problem situations was compared to detection efficiency for these same situations when no computer aiding was provided. The hypothesis that alertness would be lower and detection less efficient with computer aiding than when no aiding was employed was not supported. Applications and limitations of the findings to the problem of complacency in automated systems are discussed.

AB - During late fall 1987 and early spring 1988 flight tests were conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center's National Concept Development and Demonstration Heliport. The purpose of these tests was to measure pilot perception of helicopter tip clearances for parking and taxiing maneuvers and to measure pilot performance during these maneuvers. Over 100 parking and taxiing maneuvers were conducted using a UH-1H helicopter. The parking procedures were conducted under head, tail, and crosswind conditions, both with and without an obstacle in place. The taxiing procedures were carried out with a centerline, with only side markings, and with no ground markings. A ground-based laser tracker system was used to track the taxiing procedures. Pilot subjective data in reference to these maneuvers were collected via a post-flight questionnaire. Pilot interviews were conducted at heliports across the country. These interviews gathered pilot views concerning rotor tip clearances for parking and hover taxiing maneuvers, ground markings for parking operations, and hover taxiing heights. This report documents the results of this activity. It described the data collection and analysis methodology and addresses objective as well as subjective issues. It provides statistical and graphical analysis of pilot performance and perception data and pilot subjective data.

VOLUME I - DEVELOPMENT. FINAL REPORT PY - 1988/12 SP - 81 p. AB - This study addresses the development approach and capabilities of a Pavement Performance Monitoring System (PPMS). The PPMS is a management tool to provide guidance towards future R&D efforts, establish R&D priorities, analyze pavement performance, identify potential causal factors, and develop statistics of airport pavements performance. The PPMS is developed in the microcomputer environment (IBM compatible) using PC/FOCUS as the DBMS. Different report output formats and their applicability are described in this report. An automated database of airport pavements performance indicators, materials specifications, design methods, traffic loadings, and environmental conditions was developed based on limited data collected during this study for selected pavements. The problems of data availability, data accuracy, and amount of data required to evaluate the effectiveness of FAA design guidelines and construction specifications are highlighted. For exercising full capability of PPMS, recommendations are made with regard to additional data collection and system hardware requirements for future enhancements.

PHASE I: LABORATORY AND FIELD INVESTIGATIONS. FINAL REPORT PY - 1988/12 SP - 64 p. AB - The objectives of this study were to determine the essential characteristics of sealants for joints in Portland cement concrete (PCC) airport pavements that should be incorporated in specifications and select best candidate sealants for field evaluation. Laboratory and field investigations of sealants were performed for data needed to meet these objectives. Major factors that sealants must be resistant to are: chemicals (jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil), physical (elongation, compression, intrusion), and environmental (thermal, sunlight, weathering). In laboratory specification conformance tests, only 3 of 18 (17%) of the sealants passed the tests. In field inspection of sealants and discussions with airport personnel, there was no one clearly outstanding performing seal that was identified; however, several airports favored the Dow Corning 888 silicone seal. There is a strong indication of material or specification (or both) deficiencies. Sealants selected for evaluation in Phase II have the following material compositions: silicone, polyurethane, coal tar/polyvinyl chloride, and chloroprene.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration medically certifies, for a variety of flying privileges, individuals who have a medical deficiency or disease, provided it can be determined that such action does not compromise air safety. This descriptive epidemiological study presents the point prevalence of pathology among 685,552 active airmen as of January 1, 1988, by major body system. The study also presents other selected pathologies of interest within the major body system. Cardiovascular, eye and abdominal pathologies represent the most prevalent medical conditions among active airmen (7.5, 6.4 and 6.3 percent, respectively). Hypertension is the most frequent occurring cardiovascular condition. Prevalence of pathology among active civil airmen, while still considerably less than among the general population, is increasing due to recent emphasis on relaxation of regulatory requirements when consistent with safety.

AB - Recently, the FAA started a flight measurement project to examine the issue of minimum required VFR airspace. Test data were collected objectively in a manner similar to what is done to define the minimum airspace for a precision approach. Heliport approach and departure flight profiles were recorded using a variety of subject pilots flying several different helicopters. Data were analyzed statistically to determine the mean, standard deviation, and 6 sigma isoprobability curves. Results of this effort are documented in FAA/CT-TN87/40, Heliport Visual Approach and Depature Airspace Tests. An analysis of the statistical distribution of these data is contained in FAA/CT-TN88/44, Analysis of Distributions of VFR Heliport Data. These test reports are not likely to be the last word on this topic but they should serve to focus the discussion on specific issues in a way that is constructive. This report is intended to focus discussion on how the data should be interpreted, some of the historical issues involved, and the direction to be taken in future work.

AB - The performance, perceptions, and characteristics of Airway Science hires were compared with those of traditional hires. As of May 12, 1987, a total of 197 Airway Science candidates had been selected into FAA occupations. The demographic characteristics of Airway Science and traditional hires tended to differ, although these differences were more marked for Air Traffic Control Specialists and much less so for Electronics Technicians. Findings for two of the eight project objectives were noteworthy. First, there was considerable evidence of the academic community's interest in and support of the Airway Science curriculum. Second, lower performance on the Air Traffic Control Specialist Initial Qualification Screen program (Terminal/Enroute) was found for Airway Science hires. Few strong, consistent findings were observed for the remaining Airway Science project objectives for which data were available. Two limitations associated wtih the project evaluation at this time were described. First, greater numbers of both Airway Science hires (particularly Airway Science graduates) and traditional hires are required for a full examination of the project's components. In addition, more time is needed to track the attitudes, perceptions, and performances of project participants, most of whom are still in the early stages of training. Differences between the samples may be expected to emerge over time.

It is submitted that auditory startle, with its unexpectedness, pronounced autonomic reaction, fear-like subjective experience and frequent behavioral disruption, approximates the response pattern to be expected in the initial shock phase of sudden traumatic emergencies. By studying the time course of performance recovery following startle, as well as individual differences in response/recovery rate, a better understanding can be gained of some of the variables related to extreme reactions displayed by individual in real-life emergency situations. Research studies on performance impairment/recovery following startle are reviewed. These studies included those dealing with initial reaction time to the startle stimulus itself, disruption and recovery rate of perceptual-motor (tracking) performance following startle, and the time-course of performance recovery in information processing tasks after exposure to startle. Data are also presented showing a relationship of several individual difference variables to performance response/recovery following startle. These variables include autonomic response to the startle stimulus and level of task proficiency prior to startle.

AB - An operational test and evaluation of enhancements to the 11-station Low Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS) at Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado, was conducted during the period August 3 to September 4, 1988. Enhancements included a 12th remote station for gathering wind data, a more sophisticated wind shear microbust detection (WSMD) algorithm, a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP 11-73 computer, a DEC VT-240 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Display, and an LLWAS message display format, the latter two for local controller use in the air traffic control (ATC) tower cab. Two sets of objectives were associated with this LUWAS evaluation: meteorological objectives, which stressed determining the effectiveness of the WSMD algorithm in establishing the presence of hazardous wind shears on or near the airport and reducing the false alarm rate; and human factors objectives, which were concerned with evaluating the usefulness and effectiveness of the CRT display, the display message, and the local controller's message to pilots. This report discusses the methodology and dual scientific analyses carried out, and provides detailed results with conclusions and recommendations. Based on the conclusions, it was recommended that the WSMD algorithm remain as an operational constituent of the Denver LUWAS and that human factors considerations be further explored in improving the controller LUWAS interface.

The technique is proposed as a method which may be used to predict the relative level of safety and collision risk for TCA design configurations and air traffic loadings. For the first time, a strong relationship was found between near midair collision reports and midair collisions for annual operations within the fifty states. Operations, airports and airspace area were found to relate to these criteria of safety and provide useful interactive predictor equations.

USER'S GUIDE - ISSUE 2 PY - 1988/08 SP - 46 p. AB - Over the past 8 years, the FAA and the USAF have developed a number of user-friendly emissions and dispersion models for air quality assessment purposes. The major result of this effort is the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) which was completed in 1985 and released to the general public. Since that time, major modifications have been made in the EDMS system to enhance its usability and incorporate an integral dispersion model into its code. The approach of this guide is to provide hands-on instructions on how to use the model. The mechanism for doing this is an example problem which is introduced early in this document. Four short sections precede the example problem instructions. The first shows how the EDMS evolved from the earlier FAA and USAF mainframe models. The next three sections describe the hardware and software required to run Section 5 provides the hands-on instructions to produce: 1) an emissions inventory of all sources at an airport/airbase; and 2) an estimate of the concentrations produced by these sources at four airport locations. An inexperienced user should be able to process the example problem in less than 3 hours.

VOLUME 1. SUMMARY PY - 1988/08 SP - 39 p. AB - During the winter and spring of 1987 flight tests were conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center's Concepts Development and Demonstration Heliport at the Atlantic City International Airport, NJ. The purpose of these flights was to examine and validate the current heliport approach/departure surfaces criteria as defined in the heliport Design Guide and to recommend modifictions to these surfaces, if appropriate. The flight activities were conducted using aircraft representative of those in the civilian world. Data were collected using approach surfaces of 7.125, 8.00, and 10.00 deg for straight as well as curved path procedures. Also, departure surfaces of 7.125, 10.00, and 12.00 deg for straight and curves path procedures were used. All maneuvers were tracked by ground based tracking systems. This report documents the results of this activity. It describes the flight test and evaluation methodology and addresses technical as well as operational issues. It provides statistical and graphical analysis of pilot performance along with a discussion of pilot subjective opinions concerning the acceptability and perceived workload, safety, and control margins associated with the procedures flown. The results of this work will be considered in the future modifications of the FAA Heliport Design Advisory Circular, AC 150/5390-2.

AB - This is one of three reports describing the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS). EDMS is a complex source emissions/dispersion model for use at civilian airports and Air Force bases. It operates in both a refined and a screening mode and is programmed for an IBM-XT (or compatible) computer. This report--MODEL DESCRIPTION--provides the technical description of the model. It first identifies the key design features of both the emissions (EMISSMOD) and dispersion (GIMM) portions of EDMS. It then describes the type of meteorological information the dispersion model can accept and identifies the manner in which it prepocesses National Climatic Center (NCC) data prior to a refined model run. The report presents the results of running EDMS on a number of different microcomputers and compares EDMS results with those of comparable models. The appendices elaborate on the information noted above and list the source code.

AB - On June 1-3, 1988, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hosted an international conference on aging airplanes. The conference was held in Arlington, Virginia, and was attended by approximately 400 representatives of airlines, manufacturers, aviation industry groups, and civil airworthiness authorities of other countries, and the general public. The conference was held to exchange views and hold listening sessions and brainstorming panels to explore ideas and suggestions that will contribute to the safety of the aging fleet. After the plenary session, the conference broke up into four panels: (1) Airframe; (2) Nondestructive Inspection; (3) Human Factors in Inspections; and (4) Engines. This report is a consolidation of all of the presentations given by keynote speakers, a narrative summary of the four panel discussions, and remarks made at the closing session. This report does not include any final conclusions or recommendations of the FAA.

AB - This report was prepared in response to the FY 1988 Appropriations Conferees direction in House Report 100-498, which included the following statement: Joint Civil Military Use of Airfields. The conferees direct the Federal Aviation Administration to study the technical feasilbity of joint civil military aviation use at El Toro Marine Base, California; Selfridge Field, Michigan; and Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. This study should consider airfield, terminal, and access issues, and any previous studies conducted by Federal, State, regional or local authorities that evaluate the short- and long-term importance of using these facilities to alleviate the shortage of civil airport and airspace capacity. The FAA shall report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than March 31, 1988, and, if joint-use is determined to be technically feasible, the FAA shall recommend those steps that are necessary to implement joint-use agreements. The report was prepared by the FAA with the cooperation of the Department of Defense. FAA specialists in airport planning and air traffic control reviewed prior studies and visited each airfield, meeting the local officials, transportation planners, and representatives of the military. The FAA assessed the civil demand at each airfield and described a possible approach to meeting that demand through joint use.

Up until now, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has had access to only rudimentary helicopter noise prediction tools to use in airport planning. This is in sharp contrast to the modeling of fixed-wing aircraft noise in which the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) has evolved to become the most widely accepted civil airport noise exposure model. HNM is now embarking on the same research and development path and under the auspices of the same group that developed INM.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1988/04 SP - 267 p. AB - Existing rigid and flexible overlay pavement design methods are empirical, and they use specified level of cracking or visual deflection as the defined failure condition. The existing empirical designs are based on tests run 30 years ago, and current analytical models provide greatly improved abilities to examine the overlay pavement structure. Emphasis by many agencies on life-cycle cost analysis and more sophisticated maintenance and rehabilitation strategies require methods of predicting pavement performance rather than simply developing safe designs. A layered-elastic analytical model was selected to evaluate stresses from applied loads in the pavement structure. Pavement performance was measured in terms of a structural condition index (SCI) which related the type, degree, and severity of pavement cracking and spalling on a scale of 0 to 100. Models were developed to represent the effect of cracking in base slabs under the overlay, to account for fatigue damage of previous traffic on the base pavement, and to account for the effects of substandard load transfer at slab joints. The predicted performance of rigid overlays and pavements using this analysis was checked against the results of full-scale accelerated traffic tests conducted by the Corps of Engineers and against current overlay design methods and was found to provide reasonable agreement. The design methodology for rigid overlays uses the layered-elastic analytical model and the analysis of fatigue cracking in the base slab to predict rigid overlay deterioration in terms of a SCI. Predictive models for reflective cracking are not currently available so that application of the methodology to flexible overlays is more limited. The proposed design approach for flexible overlays is to (a) prevent cracking in an uncracked base slab to avoid reflective cracking from base slab cracks, (b) minimize further cracking in an already cracked base slab to reduce future reflective cracking, and (c) check asphalt tensile strain and subgrade vertical strain.

AB - A computer model was developed and utilized for calculating the benefits of passenger protective breathing devices and other fire safety improvements based on an analysis of accidents involving fire occurring from 1966 to 1986. The results of exercising this model on 20 past accidents indicate that the lives saved is very sensitive to assumption. It was determined that seat cushion fire blocking (FB) would have saved almost half the lives. Floor proximity lighting (FPL) is much less effective than FB, saving 3 to 4 percent of fire deaths. Protective breathing equipment (PBE), assuming no donning delay and 100 percent usage by passengers is more effective than FPL. However, a 15 second donning delay of PBE may have resulted in a net disbenefit.

AB - A research project to investigate the degree, if any, that base pavement support influences the compactibility of an asphaltic concrete overlay is summarized. As a secondary objective, the study enabled a comparison of the FAA Eastern Region in-place air voids compaction standard with the FAA National percent Marshall density compaction standard. Field data were collected on three paving projects in FAA's Eastern Region. Nondestructive testing (NDT) was used to quantify the stiffness of base pavements prior to overlay. After overlay construction, the unit weights of the asphalt overlays were determined at the same locations whwere NDTs were performed, and in-place air voids and percent Marshall densities computed. Statistical techniques were employed to investigate correlations between stiffness and asphaltic concrete density. Although a mild correlation between stiffness and density was found at one project, no general trends were detected for the other projects or from regression analyses on combined data bases. While this may suggest that base pavement stiffness is not a primary variable in affecting overlay compaction on airport pavements, the effect of stiffness may be masked by other external variables, such as temperature, rolling, mix properties, and quality control. Finally, apparent inconsistencies were observed between FAA Eastern Region and FAA National density acceptance plans with regard to acceptable quality level and payment.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1988/03 SP - 182 p. AB - This report summarizes a research project to investigate the degree, if any, that base pavement support influences the compactibility of an asphaltic concrete overlay. As a secondary objective, the study enabled a comparison of the FAA Eastern Region in-place air voids compaction standard with the FAA National percent Marshall density compaction standard. Field dita were collected on three paving projects in FAA's Eastern Region. Nondestructive testing (NDT) was used to quantify the stiffness of base pavements prior to overlay. After overlay construction, the unit weights of the asphalt overlays were determined at the same locations where NDTs were performed, and in-place air voids and percent Marshall densities computed. Statistical techniques were employed to investigate correlations between stiffness and asphaltic concrete density (i.e., unit weight, in-place air voids, and percent Marshall density). Although a mild correlation between stiffness and density was found at one project, no general trends were detected for the other projects or from regression analyses performed on combined data bases. While this may suggest that base pavement stiffness is not a primary variable in affecting overlay compaction on airport pavements, the effect of stiffness may have been masked by other external variables, such as temperature, rolling, mix properties, quality control, etc. Finally, apparent inconsistencies were observed between FAA Eastern Region and FAA National density acceptance plans with regard to acceptable quality level and payment. To better quantify the inter-relationship between base pavement stiffness and asphaltic concrete compaction, a designed experiment is recommended to eliminate the effect of outside variables. It is further recommended that the FAA Eastern Region and National density acceptance plans be re-evaluated to assure consistency.

In the first phase of the project, various identification techniques including bar-code, magnetic stripe, optical character readers, and micro-wave transponders, were reviewed. Bar-code was selected because of its low cost and because of the off-the-shelf availability of all of the necessary components for a system. During a March, 1986 meeting of airline security officials, the representative of United Airlines (UAL) volunteered his carrier to host a UBDS demonstration. UAL's station at Green Airport near Providence, R.I. was selected because of its proximity to TSC and its scale of operations which allows collection of a substantial volume of data while incurring costs for only a single gate. Although it was recognized at the start that integration of the UBDS with UAL's Apollo reservations system would provide the most realistic operating environment, the lead-time for such integration was estimated at more than one year, which excluded it from further consideration. Instead a stand-alone system was designed consisting of miniature terminals placed at each ticket counter position linked to bar-code label printers through a micro-computer and concentrator. As each passenger with bags to check appeared at the counter, the agent was supposed to enter the passenger's last name and initial along with the number of bags. This action created a computer record of the passenger together with a sequence number. The latter plus a code for the flight number was automatically printed on bar-code labels, one to be scanned as the passenger boarded the aircraft and the other(s) for the baggage tags in case it was desired to identify and remove a bag. At the gate, a scanner terminal was installed for use by the flight attendant while the ticket coupons were being collected from boarding passengers. At any point in the boarding process, pressing a single function key of the gate terminal would cause a list of passengers who had checked baggage but who had not yet boarded to appear on the display.

AB - The report describes results of tests conducted by the FAA Technical Center to evaluate the LOFF system. Simulation and flight test were used to measure system performance under operational conditions. The LOFF system is the first implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) by the FAA to track aircraft. It uses aircraft derived position as determined by Loran, transmitted by VHF data link for use by air traffic controllers. A converter unit was installed in the Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) to process incoming LOFF messages and convert them into a radar data format. Results of this conversion are input to the Enhanced Direct Access Radar Channel (EDARC) which presents the aircraft as a conventional radar target. The system provides coverage in areas not currently served by radar, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Simulated inputs were used during testing to determine accuracy of the LOFF converter, to measure timing delays, and to relate aircraft position in latitude/longitude to a displayed position as seen by the controller. Flight tests were conducted to determine VHF coverage using the system, to measure Loran accuracy in the area, to compare dynamic performance with nondynamic performance of the EDARC system, and to provide an overall evaluation of the operational system. Overall results of the LOFF test program were favorable. The system performs in a predictable and reasonable manner and is comparable to that of radar, although there is a slight difference in accuracy between the two.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration's Advanced Automation Program Office has recognized the need for monitoring and assessing the National Airspace System's operational performance and for long term planning during the life-cycle of the Host Computer System. The asessment of the operational performance involved the acquisition and analysis of field measurement data, while the long-term capacity planning entails execution of a Host Computer System analytical model using current and project traffic and other system loads. The procedures document defines the activities to be executed in: (1) measuring and monitoring operational performance, (2) measuring projecting system workloads, (3) predicting system performance using an analytical performance model, and (4) analyzing and reporting current and predicted future performance of the Host Computer System.

AB - This report contains the Fiscal Years 1988-1999 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forecasts of aviation activity for FAA facilities. These include airports with FAA control towers, air route traffic control centers, and flight service stations. Detailed forecasts were made for the four major users of the National Aviation System: air carriers, air taxi/commuters, general aviation and the military. The forecasts have been prepared to meet the budget and planning needs of the constituent units of the FAA and to provide information that can be used by state and local authorities, by the aviation industry, and by the general public. The overall outlook for the forecast period is for continued economic growth, rising real fuel prices, and moderate inflation. Based upon these assumptions, aviation activity by fiscal year 1999 is forecast to increase by 33.4 percent at towered airports, 33.5 percent at air route traffic control centers, and 11.7 percent in flight services performed. Hours flown by general aviation are forecast to increase 6.1 percent and helicopter hours flown, 33.3 percent. Scheduled domestic revenue passenger miles (RPM's) are forecast to increase 75.8 percent, with scheduled international RPM's forecast to increase by 81.3 percent, and regionals/commuters RPM's forecast to increase by 16.9 percent.

AB - Trained men in two age groups, 30-39 and 60-69, each performed at the Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB) in four separate full-day sessions with and without alcohol (2.2 mL of 100-proof vodka per kg of body weight) at ground level and at a simulated altitude of 12,500 ft. Subjects breathed appropriate gas mixtures through oxygen masks at both ground level and altitude. Mean breathalyzer readings peaked near 88 mg and did not differ between age groups or altitude conditions. Younger subjects performed better than older subjects; performance of both age groups was significantly impaired by alcohol, but these adverse effects were greater for the older subjects. No significant effects on performance were obtained due to altitude or to the interaction of altitude with alcohol. These results and those from several other studies suggest that prevalent views regarding the nature of the combined effects of alcohol and altitude on blood alcohol levels and on performance need to be redefined.

AB - In an air traffic control environment such as the National Airspace System the control function is based on stereographic representations of aircraft positions in a plane tangent to a sphere with a center collocated with the center of an ellipsoidal model of the geoid. The variation of the dilation (i.e., the discrepancy between the length of an infinitesimal arc on the model surface and the image of the arc in the plane) over the control jurisdiction of an air traffic control facility is one of many factors that adversely affect the ability of the facility to maintain separation standards. Techniques are disclosed for selecting a tangency point and a radius for the spherical support of the stereographic plane that minimize the variation of the dilation over the control jurisdiction about a predetermined constant. The constant can be viewed as a specification of the scale of the map that is the stereographic image in the plane of the portion of the surface of the earth model underlying controlled airspace.

AB - Operational monitoring situations, in contrast to typical laboratory vigilance tasks, generally involve more than just stimulus detection and recognition. They frequently involve complex multidimensional discriminations, interpretations of significance, decisions as to appropriate action, implementation of action, and evaluation of consequences. A simulated air traffic control (ATC) task was developed to study the effects of prolonged monitoring on a number of such behaviors embedded in the context of the task. All subjects performed the task under relatively high visual taskload conditions for a single 120-min. session. The results revealed that time to detect aircraft at the same altitude increased significantly over the monitoring period as did omission errors for this type of event. Detection time for the more readily detectible alphanumeric changes involving loss of altitude information showed no evidence of impairment, nor was any impairment found for any of the other task behaviors that were measured. The findings are discussed with reference to previous studies suggesting that complex monitoring primarily affects attentional processes and that the rate of decline in attention appears to be related to the degree of information processing required for event detection.

The states' role in planning, promoting, and effecting capacity expansion also depends on many variables. This publication shows what states are doing and suggests what more can be done. It defines state involvement in the national system of airports, presents seven case studies illustrating a wide range of capacity expansion experiences, provides an overview of the literature on the link between airports and economic development, and examines how airports are financed.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Civil Aviation Security maintains records of aircraft hijackings, bombing attacks, and other significant criminal acts against civil aviation worldwide. These records include actual and attempted hijackings; explosions aboard aircraft, at airports, and at airline offices; and other selected criminal acts against civil aviation. These offenses represent serious threats to the safety of civil aviation and, in those incidents involving U.S. air carriers or facilities outside the United States, are often intended as symbolic attacks against the United States. Hijacking incidents are viewed within the context of the Federal criminal statute (49 USC 1472(B)) which defines air piracy as any seizure or exercise of control, by force or violence or threat of force or violence, or by any form of intimidation, and with wrongful intent, of any aircraft. There is no attempt made in this report to differentiate between an act of air piracy and an attempted act of air piracy. The information contained in this publication is derived from a variety of government and media sources; however, in many cases specific details of a particular incident may not be available, especially those occurring outside the United States. While the Federal Aviation Administration makes every effort to provide complete and accurate information, it is not always possible to verify accounts of some events used in this publication. This edition summarizes events which occurred during 1988 and places the events in perspective within a 5-year period.

AB - Male beagle dogs were subjected to various hot air temperature/humidity combinations in an attempt to develop a safe temperature/humidity index for dogs being transported by aircraft. Only those environments in which all exposed dogs could maintain a rectal temperature less than 108 deg F during six hours of continuous exposure were considered safe. Results from experiments provided data to formulate an equation used in defining the tolerance index. Increasing the environment's humidity serves as a catalyst in decreasing a dog's tolerance to heat. In order to offset the effects of an increase in air temperature (starting at 85 deg F with a 90 percent relative humidity), relative humidity would need to be decreased by four percent for every 1 deg F rise in temperature. Changes in rectal temperature and behavior (barking and excessive movement) in relation to the exposure environment are presented and discussed.

AB - Incapacitation in the general aviation flight environment is a matter of concern since the likelihood of accident is greater due to a lack of redundant pilot skills in most instances. The purpose of this study was to appraise the adequacy of medical standards in minimizing the risk of sudden incapacitation. This study considered National Transportation Safety Board data and post-crash medical data received by the Medical Statistical Section of the Civil Aeromedical Institute during the time period of 1975 to the present, as well as other related literature to estimate the probability of incapacitation in general aviation. Data for the years studied indicated that approximately three accidents per thousand (15 per 1,000 fatal accidents) are known to result from the incapacitation of the pilot from all causes. Results further suggest that the likelihood of incapacitation increases with age. The occurrence of incapacitation for obvious medical reasons is less than would be expected based on general population morbidity/mortality data; however, the need for continued vigilance in certification and education regarding flying with known or suspected medical problems is emphasized.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1987/08 SP - 137 p. AB - The pavement pressuremeter is a new tool which is used to obtain the moduli of the base course and the subgrade soil. These moduli are necessary in the design, evaluation, and repair of airport pavements. The test consists of opening a 1.35 inch diameter, 5 feet deep hole in the pavement and lowering a 9 inch long cylindrical probe at the testing depth. The probe is inflated radially and a stress strain curve is recorded in situ. No drilling rig is necessary. Current practice makes use of the cyclic triaxial test to obtain the moduli. The pavement pressuremeter has major advantages over the cyclic triaxial test: it is much less expensive, much less time consuming, almost nondestructive and yields comparable moduli. This was shown at three airports, one on sand, two on stiff clay. The pavement pressuremeter tests were performed and the moduli were calculated. Samples were obtained (with great difficulty in the sand) and cyclic triaxial tests were performed to get the moduli. Falling weight deflectometer tests were also performed and provided measured deflections. These deflections were predicted while using the pavement pressuremeter moduli and then the cyclic triaxial tests moduli. Comparison of predicted and measured deflections showed that the pressuremeter predicted as well if not better the deflections in clay and in sand. This study shows that the pavement pressuremeter is a tool which can be used advantageously for the prediction of pavement deflection and is ready to be used progressively for the design of new pavements, the extension of existing pavements, the evaluation of existing pavements and the design of pavement overlays.

AB - As a result of several airplane accidents, the attention of the aviation industry focused upon smoke and toxic gases as causal factors of passenger incapacitation and failure to evacuate an aircraft before fire and heat rendered the environment uninhabitable. Under these conditions, providing passengers with a short-duration supply of breathable air sufficient to accomplish evacuation would enhance chances of survival. This report presents a summary of the history and events pertinent to the Civil Aeromedical Institute's evaluation of the feasibility of providing smoke/fume protective breathing equipment for passenger use. The summary includes descriptions of research undertaken, reports produced, and responses to request for information for the period of November 1965 to February 1987.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1987/06 SP - 50 p. AB - Findings from a six-year field and laboratory program of frost-action research in four principal areas are summarized. Research on the first topic, frost-susceptibility index tests, led to selection of the Corps of Engineers' frost design soil classification system as a useful method at the simplest level of testing. At a much more complex level, a new freezing test combined with a CBR test after thawing is recommended as an index of susceptibility to both frost heave and thaw weakening. Under the second topic, a soil column and dual gamma system were developed and applied to obtain soil data used in improving and validating a mathematical model of frost heave, the objective of the third research topic. The model was effectively improved, a probabilistic component was added, and it was successfully tested against field and laboratroy measurements of frost heave. A thaw consolidation algorithm was added, which was shown to be useful in predicting the seasonal variation in resilient modulus of granular soils, the objective of the fourth topic. A laboratory testing procedure was developed for assessing the resilient modulus of thawed soil at various stages of the recovery process, as a fundtion of the applied stress and the soil moisture tension, which increases as the soil gradually desaturates during recovery. The procedure was validated by means of appropriate analyses of deflections measured on pavements by a falling-weight deflectometer. Frameworks for implementing findings from the principal research topics are outlined.

AB - Pilot judgment errors have long been recognized as an important factor in aviation accidents. Previous studies have demonstrated that specialized training procedures can significantly reduce the number of decision errors made by newly certified private pilots during in-flight tests. However, the subjects in these studies were all college-age students enrolled in full-time aviation training programs that were taught by highly motivated instructors. The present study examined the utility of revised judgment training materials with typical private pilot applicants in conventional flight school settings at ten fixed base operations within the Federal Aviation Administration's Eastern Region. The performance of a sample of subjects who received judgment training was compared with that of a control group drawn from the same fixed base operations. The behavioral test of judgment was in the form of an observation flight administered by observers who were uninformed of the details of the experimental design. Students and instructors also completed a critique of the program materials. The results of the study suggest that improvements in pilot decision making skills can be achieved in the less formal instructional climate that characterizes many conventional flight school programs. The revised judgment training program and instructional materials are acceptable to the user community, and most participants found them to be very useful.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1987/04 SP - 84 p. AB - Despite the growing popularity of the crack and seat technique, little guidance is available for use in evaluating and designing overlays for cracked and seated airfield pavements. Towards solving this problem, a case study was undertaken to compare in-situ characteristics and overlay requirements of three different pavement sections at Suffolk Municipal Airport, Virginia. Nondestructive testing (NDT) was used to determine the in-situ pavement properties and visual surveys were conducted to assess the condition rating of the pavements. The results of the NDT testing program were used to predict and compare the PCC layer moduli and to design AC overlays. The results of the study indicate that: (1) while the use of the crack and seat technique appears to be effective, reflective cracking is not eliminated; (2) the strength of the PCC layer is significantly reduced after cracking and seating and hence, thicker AC overlays are required; and (3) a greater degree of cracking before placing the overlay would have been helpful. The use of a modified FAA flexible pavement procedure for the design of AC overlays is recommended as an interim procedure. NDT testing as a construction quality control device during breaking of the PCC is also recommended.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1987/04 SP - 59 p. AB - Asphalt concrete (AC) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements were investigated to determine the consequence of overlay separation on pavement behavior. Available methods of detection and rehabilitation of layer separation were addressed. Stresses and strains resulting from aircraft loading in an AC pavement section were computed by layered elastic theory. Layer slippage and consequent separation generates large tensile strains at the bottom of the slipped layer, resulting in reduced fatigue life. Horizontal tangential loads due to braking or turning generate high tensile strains at the top of the overlay just outside the wheel imprint which are likely to be critical even when layer sepration is not present. A pavement where interlayer slippage has occurred should be repaired by removing the slipped layer and replacing it with a well-bonded layer. A finite element model was used to evaluate PCC pavement response to load, and Westergaard/Bradbury equations were used to determine curling stresses. It was fond that loss of bond adversely affects maximum pavement tensile stress (thus fatigue life) and maximum paavement deflections. It is also believed that curling stresses may cause debonded thin overlays to separate from the underlying slab, causing extremely high stress in the overlay if a load is applied. Bond can be obtained only if good construction techniques are followed. Detection of bond loss may be possible using corner deflections determined by nondestrucive testing (NDT).

AB - A nationwide survey of aviation business operators (users) was conducted to assess their perceptions of, and satisfaction with, the performance of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) avionic and maintenance airworthiness inspectors (AWIs). User ratings on 21 items were analyzed and comparisons were made for each FAA region, type of aviation business activity, and FAA district office within each region. A criterion based on other research concerning consumer satisfaction with services was used to identify positive aspects of AWI performance and areas of performance in need of improvement. Overall satisfaction with AWI performance was fully acceptable and within the range of levels reported in the literature for higher ranking professional/technical services. Users felt very positively about AWI knowledge of FAA regulations and policies, AWI courtesy and thoroughness. Areas that could be targeted for improvement included: the consistency and clarity of the technical interpretations, the frequency of visits, and reliance on AWIs for counseling in either regulatory or technical areas. Written comments provided by respondents were placed in general information (5.5 percent), favorable (24.1 percent) and unfavorable (70.1 percent) categories. Comments that indicated shortcomings focused on the same areas that received low item ratings. These analyses will provide FAA management with an opportunity to pinpoint high-rated and low-rated facilities and determine what features of the facilities/inspectors/procedures differentiate the less from the more successful. Corrective action plans based on the data can then be devised and implemented.

All exposed dogs safely tolerated four hours of continuous cold exposure as evidenced by maintenance of rectal temperatures within an acceptable normal range. Heart rate, respiration rate and behavior (barking and excessive movement) showed no deleterious change during exposure. No significant differences between males and females were found for rectal temperature, heart rate and respiration rate. However, the males displayed more barking and excessive movement than females of the same age. The microenvironment air temperature in the simulated transport crate was increased significantly by the presence of the dog during exposure to freezing temperatures. Results indicate that no harmful stress was encountered by the dogs exposed to freezing and subfreezing temperatures for four hours.

VOLUME II--EVALUATION OF ASPHALT-RUBBER CONCRETE. FINAL REPORT PY - 1987/03 SP - 239 p. AB - Asphalt-rubber concrete and an asphalt concrete control were tested in the laboratory and materials characterizations were generated, including Marshall Stability, resilient modulus, fatigue and fracture properties, creep compliance, and permanent deformation properties. The characterization parameters and an airport runway model for a municipal airport were input into the modified ILLIPAVE computer program for analysis of rutting and cracking damage and the relative lives of the materials in each of four climatic zones. An economic evaluation was then performed comparing the costs and service lives of each material in each zone. A cracking index of 0.2 was chosen as a comparative level. The asphalt-rubber concrete passed the entire design period of 20 years for all climatic zones without reaching this comparison level. The asphalt concrete reached this level in 10 years or more. A rut depth of 0.7 inch was chosen as the critical rutting level. For all four climatic zones, the asphalt concrete control reached the critical rutting level before the asphalt-rubber concrete; but both materials reached the critical level within the 20-year design period. Rutting was chosen as the expected critical failure mode for both materials in all zones. An equivalent uniform annual cost per square yard over the life of the pavement for the construction cost of each pavement was determined. The material with the least equivalent uniform annual cost was selected as the most cost-effective. Only in the dry-no freeze zone was the asphalt concrete more cost-effective than the asphalt-rubber concrete. In the other three zones, the low or medium (optimum) binder content asphalt-rubber concrete was the most cost-effective material.

These studies are examining the prospect of substituting a takeoff procedure of equal stringency for the level flyover certification test presently required. It was initially assumed that equivalency could be established between the takeoff and level flyover procedures via adjustment equations involving propeller helical-tip Mach number and noise propagation distance to account for differences in airspeed and altitude respectively. However, as test results became available, it was found that the propeller helical-tip Mach number adjustment equation did not adequately account for the measured noise level differences between the takeoff and level flyover procedure. After applying the adjustment equations, the takeoff noise levels were 3 to 4 decibels higher than the level flyover noise levels. This effect is believed to result from unsteady propeller blade loading when the aircraft is in a pitch-up position during a takeoff/climbout as opposed to level flight. The test aircraft was a Piper Cherokee Lance (PA-32R-300) equipped with a two-blade speed propeller. The objective required a series of flights ranging from level flyover to a takeoff/climbout performed at Vx (speed for best angle climb). Noise level versus propeller inflow angle was addressed by a series-to-series variation of aircraft speed at constant power and revolutions per minute (RPM). Since airspeed is a component of the helical-tip Mach number (MH) and given the generally strong influence of MH on noise levels, additional series of overflights were necessary to empirically relate MH to the noise levels actually produced by the Lance. The MH issue was addressed through a series-to-series variation of propeller RPM at constant power and airspeed.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1986/10 SP - 108 p. AB - The objective of this study was to develop criteria and guideines for recycling portland cement concrete (PCC) airport aprons. Included in this study are all aspects of the recycling process including breakup and removal, steel reinforcement removal, crushing, screening, stockpiling, mix design, testing, placing, finishing, and performance. Recycling of PCC requires some specialized equipment such as pavement breakers and electromagnets for steel removal; however, all of the other equipment and procedures are those commonly used in the construction industry. Based on the regression experimental design procedure and laboratory tests conducted on pavement samples for six airports of widely varying age and conditions, it has been conclusively shown that aged PCC pavements can be recycled into new surface courses that meet strength requirements and have the same cyclic load carrying (fatigue) characteristics as those constructed with virgin materials. The optimum values for proportions that should be used in recycle mixes are: water/cement ratio - 0.46, coarse aggregate content - 58 percent, and virgin sand content - 42 percent. Because the fines generated from the crushing of the old pavement degrade the strength of recycled concrete, their use is not recommended for recycled heavy duty airport pavements.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1986/09 SP - 94 p. AB - Airports for light aircraft must often be built in areas where base course material is inadequate or economically unavailable. Sand grids may provide an economical solution in these cases. Previous work with sand grids has identified optimum grid-cell geometry based on ultimate bearing capacity. Past observations also suggest the nature of sand-grid behavior for small stresses and strains. From these a model was formulated for analyzing the performance of sand grids in pavement systems and spot-checked using field data from a full-scale, accelerated-traffic sand-grid test section.

AB - Few data are available concerning the effects of sleep loss on vestibular responses, although these responses are significant products of motion in aviation environments. This study assessed periodically throughout a period of approximately 55 hours of sleep loss the ocular nystagmus and motion experiences of men exposed to both simple (angular acceleration) and complex (Coriolis) vestibular stimulation. The effects of an alerting drug administered after 54 hours of sleep loss on those responses were also examined. Control and sleep-deprived groups each comprised 10 young men. Angular accelerations and Coriolis stimulation were accomplished in an enclosed Stille-Werner rotating device. Nystagmus and motion experiences (turning, diving and climbing) were recorded throughout each session. Tests were given at 0900 and 1300 on each of three successive days. Subjects ingested 10-mg of d-amphetamine at 1200 on Day 3. During simple stimulation, the sleep-deprived group showed regular declines across sessions in slow phase and duration measures of nystagmus but fast phase ocular frequency and measures of experienced turning resisted declines until the final predrug session; response latencies increased with sleep loss. Declines during rotation for ocular output and measures of perceived displacement during rightward head tilts (climbing sensation) were obtained for the sleep deprived, but both nystagmus and sensations were unaffected by return (leftward) movements of the head (diving sensation). D-amphetamine had no consistent effect on either the ocular or subjective responses of control subjects, but significantly increased nystagmus and elevated (but not significantly) measures of turning experiences for the sleep-deprived.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1986/07 SP - 52 p. AB - A field survey of steel fiber-reinforced concrete airfield pavements found the most serious performance problem to be permanent, early age curl of slabs and associated cracking. An examination of possible causes of this curl indicates it is probably due to the use of large slabs and thin sections. This study recommends slab sizes which should minimize this problem in the future. Other identified performance problems unique to this type pavement include loose surface fibers and nonfunctioning contraction joints. The design criteria for fiber-reinforced concrete were reviewed, and new criteria are proposed that are compatible with the Corps of Engineers change in portland cement concrete design criteria. A new method of overlay design was also proposed.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1986/07 SP - 72 p. AB - A mixture design procedure is developed to allow the use of ashpalt-rubber binders in concrete for flexible airport pavement. The asphalt-rubber is produced by reacting asphalt with ground, scrap tire rubber to produce the binder for the asphalt-rubber concrete. The report includes procedures for laboratory preparation of asphalt-rubber binders using an equipment setup that was found by researchers to produce laboratory binders with similar properties to field processes. The rubber-asphalt concrete mixture design procedure includes adjustments to the aggregate gradation to permit space for the rubber particles in the ashpalt-rubber binder as well as suggested mixing and compaction temperatures, and compaction efforts. While the procedure has been used in the laboratory to successfully produce asphalt-rubber concrete mixtures, it should be evaluated in the field to ensure that consistent results can be achieved in a production environment.

AB - This study presents comprehensive data reflecting pertinent denial rates regarding the medical and general attributes of those airline pilots denied medical certification in calendar years 1983 and 1984. The overall annual denial rate of this group is 4.7 per 1,000 active airline pilots. Age-specific denial rates for airline pilots increase to the highest rate at age interval 55-59. The most significant causes for denial are cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric and the miscellaneous category. The importance of these causes for denial, particularly above age 45, is again recognized. Denials for cardiovascular reasons account for 33% of all denials in this airline pilot group. Reasons/cases for denial and age-specific denial rates are changing. Denial rates of older pilots have decreased while rates for younger pilots have increased when compared with previous studies' rates. This could be attributed to changes in the interpretation of Federal Aviation Administration regulations, certification policies, and pilot's concerns regarding the economic status of their employer. On the basis of these and previous findings, pilots should be educated to report history or symptoms of any disease during their periodic medical certification examinations.

ESTABLISHING HEAT TOLERANCE LIMITS FOR RATS AND MICE SUBJECTED TO ACUTE EXPOSURES TO ELEVATED AIR TEMPERATURES PY - 1986/05 SP - 12 p. AB - Experimental animal subjects are used most commonly to assess the toxicity of thermal decomposition products (smoke) from burning materials. Nascent smoke is obviously quite hot, therefore the design of smoke toxicity assay systems must provide for adequate cooling of the gases prior to exposure of the animals. This research has addressed the question of how much cooling is required. Rats and mice were exposed to elevated air temperatures over the range of 38 deg C to 110 deg C. The exposure duration required to produce hyperthermic collapse (physical incapacitation) was measured for each temperature. A graph of time-to-collapse as a function of exposure temperature was constructed for each species and statistically derived equations were fit to each data set. Times-to-collapse ranged from 60 minutes at 40 deg C to less than 4 minutes at 110 deg C for the rat. For the mouse, they ranged from approximately 60 minutes at 40 deg C to 2.5 minutes at 90 deg C. The significance of these findings as they relate to smoke toxicity testing is discussed.

TIMES TO INCAPACITATION AND DEATH FOR RATS EXPOSED CONTINUOUSLY TO ATMOSPHERIC ACROLEIN VAPOR PY - 1986/05 SP - 26 p. AB - Acrolein, an organic aldehyde, is extremely irritating to the respiratory passages at very low concentrations. It is known to be present in the smoke from certain materials used in aircraft cabin interiors and could contribute to an individual's failure to escape from a burning aircraft. In order to assess acrolein's ability to produce physical incapacitation in a mammal, laboratory rats were exposed continuously to measured atmospheric concentrations of acrolein vapor until they expired. The exposure time required to produce lethality was measured, as was the time at which physical incapacitation occurred. Incapacitation was defined operationally as loss of the ability to walk in a motor-driven wheel, which was enclosed in the exposure chamber. Dose-response curves were generated by equating these two endpoints, time-to-incapacitation and time-to-death, to the atmospheric acrolein concentration via statistically derived regression equations. Experimental results suggest that the acrolein dose that will produce physical incapacitation could be 10 to 100 times greater than has been predicted in the past. The possible relationship between the effective toxic doses of acrolein for rats, and those reported for humans, is discussed.

Title 14, Part 67 - Medical Standards and Certification of the Code of Federal Regulations states that, to be eligible for a Class I, II, or in class medical certificate, a pilot must have "no established medical history of clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus that requires insulin or any other hypoglycemic drug for control." Although procedures exist for appealing medical disqualifications for pilots certificates directly to the Federal Highway Administration (FAA), no insulin-taking diabetic has ever been issued a pilot's license. The only diabetics currently flying aircraft are those who control their disease solely by diet. Recently, a comprehensive review of medical certification criteria including those for diabetic pilots, has been undertaken by the FAA and the medical research establishment. This report complements that review. It is a study of the safety risks associated with the possible certification of insulin-taking diabetics for Class III student and private pilot certification. This information, in conjunction with expert medical opinion and analysis, is expected to be used by the Federal Air Surgeon in deciding whether to recommend changes in the regulations pertaining to certification of insulin taking diabetic pilots. The study includes an analysis of (1) the number of insulin-taking diabetics who would be interested in, as well as qualified to become, private pilots; (2) the expected number of accidents resulting from their certification; and (3) the comparable risk experienced by airmen in normal operation, e.g., night flying versus daytime flying. In addition, a review of literature regarding the risks of diabetic automobile drivers is presented.

AB - This study examined the possible relationship of the coronary-prone Type A behavior pattern to performance of a complex monitoring task. The task was designed to functionally simulate the general task characteristics of future, highly-automated air traffic control systems in which passive monitoring is expected to be a principal job requirement. Thirty-six male subjects, half classified as Type A and half as Type B, monitored the simulated radar display over a two-hour session for infrequent critical changes in alphanumeric targets. In addition to performance, physiological changes and subjective reactions were also assessed. Type A individuals were found not to differ from Type B individuals in either task performance or in subjective reaction to the task. Task-related changes in heart rate, blood pressure and general restlessness failed also to provide any evidence of greater arousal in Type A's than in Type B's. The findings are discussed relative to other studies of Type A behavior and performance and to the specific problem of finding useful predictors of performance in operational monitoring situations.

A combustion/exposure assembly was designed and constructed in which panel sections were pyrolyzed by radiant heat directed onto the upper surface only; the relative toxicity of the evolved gases was measured by determining the effect (time-to-incapacitation) on the laboratory rat. The authors also determined the relative toxicity of gases from the same nine panels when pyrolyzed in the older (and smaller) combustion tube assembly in order to compare the effects of the different pyrolysis modes.

Shift work is a difficult issue for managers because it easily can become emotionally charged. This report offers some new ideas and strategies for managers and controllers that may be helpful in dealing with difficulties arising from shift work, however there is not single simple solution to the problem. Circadian rhythm displacements are recognized and accepted by controllers as part of the job and are usually dealt with effectively on an individual basis. The Federal Aviation Administration's policies regarding shift work are found to be fair, flexible and democratic. No air traffic control safety problems are known to be related exclusively to circadian effects and no medical problems are known to result from rotating shift work. Shift work also offers some positive features, including premium night differential pay and daytime hours for other pursuits.

Over 80% of the final grade for the program is based on these measures. The average scores of the classes on the skills tests, especially on inflight, have increased from 1981 to 1985. The different forms of both the preflight test and the emergency services test appear to be equivalent as intended; however, Form G and Form H of the inflight test are easier than Form D and Form E. The average scores of the classes on the laboratory exercises in preflight and emergency services have been fairly constant from 1981 to 1985; however, the averages on the inflight laboratory exercise have declined steadily. Overall, these classes have performed better on the skills tests and laboratory exercises, except for inflight, than did the reference classes of 1978 and 1979.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Civil Aviation Security maintains a record of aircraft hijackings and other significant criminal acts against civil aviation worldwide. These records include actual and attempted hijackings, explosions aboard aircraft, at airports, and at airline offices, and other selected criminal acts against civil aviation. These offenses represent the most serious threats to the safety of civil aviation and carry with them the greatest potential danger to the commercial air traveler. Hijacking incidents are viewed within the context of the Federal criminal statute (40 USC 1472 (b)) which defines air piracy as any seizure or exercise of control, by force or violence or threat of force or violence, or by any other form of intimidation, and with wrongful intent, of any aircraft. There is no attempt made in this report to differentiate between an act of air piracy and an attempted act of air piracy. The information contained in this publication is derived from a variety of government and media sources; however, in many cases specific details of a particular incident may not be available, especially those occurring outside the continental United States. While the Fderal Aviation Administration makes every effort to provide complete and accurate information, it is not always possible to verify accounts of some events used in this publication. This publication is intended to summarize the significant criminal acts against civil aviation during 1986 and to place the events in perspective within a ten year timeframe.

EVALUATION OF RELATIVE TOXICITY TO RATS OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS FROM TWO AIRCRAFT SEAT FIRE-BLOCKING MATERIALS PY - 1985/11 SP - 13 p. AB - Two fire-blocking layer materials, designed to delay the thermal decomposition of polyurethane foam seat cushions during an aircraft cabin fire, were evaluated for the relative toxicity of their gaseous combustion products. Each material was thermally decomposed under five distinct thermal environments: two contact temperatures in a horizontal hot tube furnace and three flux levels in a radiant heat furnace. The measured toxicological endpoint was time-to-incapacitation (ti) in a laboratory rat; this endpoint is believed to be the most relevant one for assessing smoke hazard in a fire environment. In three of the five test environments, Norfab, an aluminized synthetic fabric, produced shorter ti's (and thus was more toxic) than Vonar, a neoprene foam. However, at the lowest flux level in the radiant furnace system, the Norfab test specimen lost only 13% of the sample weight and did not incapacitate any of the test animals during the exposure period. At 750 deg C (flaming) in the combustion tube assembly, Norfab produced longer and more variable ti's than did Vonar. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was detected in the combustion products from Norfab under all test conditions except the lowest radiant flux level. No HCN was detected in the combustion products for any of the Vonar tests. Since Norfab routinely produced lower concentrations of carbon monoxide than did Vonar under all test conditions, the greater apparent toxicity (shorter ti's) of Norfab would appear to be caused by the cyanide production.

A design consisting of descriptions of the flight scenarios to be used in this study and the order and combination of conditions under which these scenarios would be presented to the pilots flying the simulated approaches was developed for use in initial simulation testing. While adequate for early testing, this ORIGINAL design would have some analytic limitations if used as a means of generating pilot performance data during the actual evaluation. This report describes a new proposed study design and compares the original design and the proposed new design with respect to their abilities to differentiate the influence of visibility conditions on landing decisions and performance of air transport pilots in a 727 full mission simulator. The new design uses only combinations of conditions, other than RVR, which were used in the original design. Every combination of conditions which is presented to a pilot at one RVR is also presented at other RVR's to ensure that the RVR's can be compared under identical conditions. It is essential that this be done if a valid determination of the effects of visibility conditions on pilot landing performance is to be made. The total number of combinations of conditions without regard to RVR is exactly the same as in the original design. This number is 40 (9 normals +3 loc. mis. w. norm. +4 disconnect +4 anomalies) X 2 light levels). When these are combined with RVR's, the result is a total of 200 (5 x 40) test scenarios. Each of the 200 scenarios is identical to one of the original scenarios except for, at most, a change in RVR. Since the reason there are more total scenarios is to increase comparability of RVR's, that number should not be reduced. However the relative frequency of occurrence of some combinations can be increased if desired. Also the order of presentation can be changed.

AB - The present study examined the effect of differing levels of visual taskload on critical flicker frequency (CFF) change during performance of a complex monitoring task. The task employed was designed to functionally simulate the general task characteristics of future, highly automated air traffic control systems in which passive monitoring is likely to be a principal job requirement. Forty subjects, divided into two equal-size groups, monitored displays containing either 8 or 16 alphanumeric targets. Nine critical events were randomly presented during each half-hour of the single 2-h session to which each subject was exposed. CFF thresholds were obtained prior to and following the sessions. Subjects monitored for the occurrence of two types of critical events. The first type consisted of a readily detectable change in an alphanumeric data block; the second kind of event was the occurrence of two aircraft (alphanumeric targets) at the same altitude on the same flight path. The results revealed that the more readily detectable critical events showed no evidence of performance decrement at either level of visual taskload. For the more difficult task of detecting critical altitude events, both CFF and performance showed evidences of fatigue that were confined entirely to the higher taskload condition. The findings are discussed with reference to fatigue and monitoring loads in highly automated air traffic control system concepts.

AB - In 1976, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in conjunction with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and several airline companies, initiated a plan for the certification of rehabilitated alcoholic pilots which has had a surprising rate of success. The program itself and a number of demographic variables are examined for the entire group. This study involves a survey of medical records for over 500 airline pilots who have been medically certified by the FAA after a diagnosis of alcoholism. The program demonstrates an 85% rate of success since 1976. If a pilot experiences a relapse, they are immediately taken off flight duty and recycled back through the program. In no case where there has been a relapse has it been felt that aviation safety was compromised. The success of this program is due to several unique features, such as the cooperation of the pilots' union, airline companies and the FAA to identify and treat alcoholic pilots. This program also includes peer identification and referral and an intensive 2-year follow-up of pilots by all three groups mentioned.

AB - A series of experiments were conducted in an altitude chamber at ground level, 8,000 ft, 14,000 ft and 21,500 ft, both with and without exercise, to evaluate the potential for providing protection from smoke and fumes for airline passengers while wearing a standard continuous-flow passenger mask modified by the addition of a rebreather bag. It was determined that it would provide increased protection for those individuals who had tidal volumes of 1.5 L or less. However, it would not function properly for those individuals who had tidal volumes greater than 1.5L. Either the carbon dioxide levels were too great (above 15 mm Hg partial pressure) or the rebreather bag collapsed. These results indicate that the addition of the rebreather bag to the passenger mask has the potential for providing protection from smoke and fumes, but the system must have appropriately balanced valve resistances and appropriately sized valve openings. This critical balance has not yet been achieved for those individuals with large tidal volumes.

AB - The phenomenon of runway touchdown-zone rubber buildup is a potentially hazardous problem. Rubber buildup covers the runway surface and occludes the surface texture. This results in a reduced wet friction coefficient between the runway pavement and aircraft tires. Methods and equipment are available for evaluating the wet friction coefficient; however, these methods are expensive and require highly trained personnel. Currently, no guidelines have been established for determining the need and effectiveness of rubber removal. Therefore, most airport and airbase managers rely exclusively on visual impressions of rubber buildup in lieu of quantitative measurements. Quantitative evaluation techniques are desirable for evaluating rubber buildup. An extensive literature review suggested that pavement surface texture measurement techniques are indicative of rubber buildup and resultant reduction in wet friction coefficients. A statistically designed field experiment determined that surface texture measurements were indicative of pavement friction levels; however, these relationships lacked the precision necessary for inclusion in performance specifications. Discussed herein is a summary of previous work in developing a rubber removal specification, supporting evidence for the frictional performance criteria proposed in developing a coherent specification for rubber removal contracts, and propsed contract specification criteria for runway rubber removal.

AB - The results of a field study of the performance of high traffic volume airfield pavements is presented. Both rigid (portland cement concrete) and flexible (asphalt concrete) pavements were included in the study. Condition surveys and nondestructive testing were performed on the pavement sections in order to measure present performance and estimate load-carrying capacity. Traffic and material properties data were also collected for each pavement section. These parameters were used to compare thicknesses obtained using the current FAA design procedure and the thicknesses of the existing sections in order to evaluate the adequacy of the current design procedures. In general it was found that the design procedures are adequate; however, further field study has been recommended in order to verify collected data.

AB - This study presents comprehensive data reflecting pertinent denial rates with respect to the medical and general attributes of those airmen denied medical certification in calendar years 1982 and 1983. The study updates previously reported data with respect to medical certification denials. The denial data were obtained from computer files as of July 1, 1983, for calendar year 1982 applicants and July 1, 1984, for calendar year 1983 applicants. The data were summed for the 2 calendar years to provide a large group for comparison with the December 31, 1982, active airman population, the midpoint population date for the denied applicant group. The annual denial rate based on airman applicants is 6.2 per 1,000 airmen. By class of certificate applied for, the annual denial rate per 1,000 applicants is 3.3 for first class, 3.8 for second class, and 8.6 for third class. As anticipated, general aviation and new applicants contribute greatly to total denials. The most significant causes for denial regardless of class applied for are cardiovascular, the miscellaneous pathology category (endocrinopathies, disqualifying medications and administrative denials), neuropsychiatric, and, at a much lower level, eye pathology. The updated data on medically disqualified applicants are consistent with expectations and previous findings, with cardiovascular diseases still the number one cause for denial.

AB - This study seeks to develop a prototype life preserver that, among other attributes, included provisions for increased thermal protection in the event of accidental immersion in cold water. To assess the thermal response of subjects wearing the prototype life preserver and a currently used standard personal flotation device, a laboratory study with 10 subjects was conducted. Two subjects, one wearing the prototype and the other a standard vest, were immersed during each experiment in 12.8 dg C water in a survival tank for 2 hours. Rectal temperature, heart rate and EKG were measured continuously. Eight of ten subjects, while wearing the prototype life preserver, showed a decrease in the rate of cooling when compared to the cooling rate when wearing the standard vest. The mean cooling rate with the prototype life preserver was 1.15 deg C/h and 1.72 deg C/h with the standard device. Differences were statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Differences in heart rate were also shown to be statistically significant. After 20 min of immersion, subjects wearing the prototype life preserver experienced lower heart rates than when they wore the standard personal flotation device.

AB - Recognition of medical risk factors is of paramount importance to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with regard to the agency's primary mission of ensuring air safety. The autopsy reports of 710 pilots involved in fatal general aviation accidents and received by the FAA for the years 1980-82 were reviewed to appraise the age-specific prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis among the autopsied groups and compare findings with those of an earlier study of a similar pilot group. All data were received by the FAA in connection with its responsibilities for medical investigation of accidents. Sixty-nine percent of the autopsies on pilots killed in aircraft accidents indicated some degree of coronary atherosclerosis ranging from minimal to severe. This finding is higher than for a similar group of pilots studied during the years 1975-77. However, only about 2.5 percent of the 1980-82 study group were found to have severe coronary atherosclerosis, compared with 5 percent in the previous study. Prevalence of severe coronary atherosclerosis increased with age from 5.8 per 1,000 for ages less than 40 years to 73.9 for ages 50 years and above, also reflecting lower age-specific rates for severe coronary atherosclerosis than were found in the previous study. Recent emphasis on autopsy format and attention to sudden incapacitation is felt to have resulted in more accurate reporting for recent years. Prevalence of severe coronary atherosclerosis among the recently studied pilot group was less than that observed in an earlier study of a similar group.

AB - This study assessed possible interactive effects of alcohol and a simulated altitude of 12,500 ft. Each of 17 male subjects was trained on the various tasks than comprise the Multiple Task Performance Battery and then performed over a 2-week period in four experimental sessions: ground level with and without alcohol, and at altitude with and without alcohol. Subjects breathed appropriate gas mixtures during oxygen masks at both ground level and altitude. Subjects performed for 3 hours in the morning, had a 1-hour lunch break, and performed again for 3 hours in the afternoon. Alcohol doses were 2.2 mL of 100-proof vodka per kilogram of body weight mixed with three parts of a selected juice. Each 1-hour test block included five 10-minute performance periods with varying workloads and a 10-minute period for controlled breathalyzer measurements. Results showed no differential effect of simulated altitude on breathalyzer readings (peaks averaged .078% at 12,500 ft and .077% at ground level). The best performance occurred at ground level under placebo conditions; the 12,500-ft simulated altitude produced some decrement for the placebo condition scores. Alcohol at ground level resulted in significantly impaired performance during the morning sessions; the addition of altitude to the alcohol condition further depressed performance scores, but to about the same extent that placebo scores were depressed by altitude. Thus, there was no interactive effect of alcohol and altitude on either breathalyzer readings or performance scores. However, the general decrement produced by altitude (with or without alcohol) serves to reduce further whatever margin of safety remains in performance skills following alcohol ingestion.

FINAL REPORT PY - 1985/07 SP - 97 p. AB - This report documents site investigations and design recommendations for airport pavements on expansive soils at three sites. The methods used were developed previously in an FAA-sponsored research project. The design procedure involves soil characterization, determination of surface characteristics and evaluation of soil-pavement interaction. Investigations at three airports are reported; they are Murdo, South Dakota, Mesquite, Texas, and Love Field, Dallas, Texas. Soils data are used along with climatic information to obtain estimates of the equivalent thickness of pavement required for each site. The work at Love Field was somewhat different than the other sites since NMERI was not directly conducting the investigation. Results are reported in the form of pavement thickness required to adequately perform, in terms of surface roughness, on the soil surface characteristics predicted for each site. Recommendations are included for consideration in rehabilitation of each site since all were experiencing surface roughness at the time of the investigations. These results confirm that methods developed for evaluating airport pavements on expansive soils provide useful information for pavement design. This mehtod specifically addresses the expansive soil problem and does not address the effects of traffic or load-induced pavement distress. These aspects are believed to be adequately covered in standard FAA design procedures.

POROUS PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE AS AN AIRPORT RUNWAY OVERLAY. VISIT TO TRANSAQUA, INCORPORATED. PY - 1985/06 SP - 12 p. AB - A process that enhances the hydration of portland cement and improves the strength and durablity of porous portland cement concrete (PPCC) over that produced by conventional mixing techniques is investigated and reported. The material is a no-fines concrete with interconnecting voids capable of draining 20 inches of rain per minute. Its in-place costs and the elimination of sand makes it economical to use. It is claimed that the process dramatically improves the mortar's bond in an aggregate matrix, making the use of PPCC as a pavement friction and drainage course possible. The information to date indicates that PPCC may be useful as an airport runway overlay for rigid pavements. However, little test data are available on the durability of this product in northern regions. It is recommended that certain laboratory tests as well as field tests be conducted.

TIMES TO INCAPACITATION AND DEATH FOR RATS EXPOSED CONTINUOUSLY TO ATMOSPHERIC HYDROGEN CHLORIDE GAS PY - 1985/05 SP - 19 p. AB - Laboratory rats were exposed continuously to measured atmospheric concentrations of hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas until they expired. The exposure time required to produce lethality was measured, as was the time at which physical incapacitation occurred. Incapacitation was defined operationally as loss of the ability to walk in a motor-driven wheel. These two endpoints, time-to-incapacitation and time-to-death, were equated to atmospheric HCl concentration by statistically derived regression equations. The possible relationship between the effective toxic doses of HCl gas for rats and those reported for humans is discussed. These results suggest that HCl, in smoke from natural fires, would be much less incapacitating than previously thought, with concentrations necessary to produce incapacitation in 10 minutes possibly being as much as 10 times greater than those suggested by previous literature.

AB - This study examines the potential interaction of age, sleep deprivation and altitude on performance using laboratory tasks measuring aviation-related psychological functions. Healthy men in two age groups, 30-39 and 60-69 years old, were evaluated for complex (time-shared) performance in the four possible combinations of two altitudes (ground level versus 3,810 m) and two sleep conditions (sleep permitted versus sleep deprived). Following training, performance was evaluated during 3-hour test sessions in the morning and afternoon of each of 4 test days. Complex performance, measured by the Multiple Task Performance Battery, included: monitoring of warning lights and meters, mental arithmetic, problem solving, target identification and tracking. Workload was varied within each hour by changing the tasks performed simultaneously. Results showed that performance was significantly lower in the older group, but age did not interact significantly with sleep deprivation or altitude. There was, however, a significant interaction of sleep deprivation and altitude. When subjects were rested, altitude had no effect. When subjects were sleep deprived, performance was significantly lower in general, and the greatest decrement in performance occurred at altitude. Increasing workload enhanced the interaction of sleep deprivation and altitude. The performance of older subjects tended to be more affected by increases in workload, but decrements induced by sleep deprivation and altitude did not appear to interact with age. These findings provide empirical evidence in support of warnings in the aeromedical literature concerning greater effects of sleep deprivation as altitude increases within the general aviation range.

INTERIM REPORT PY - 1985/04 SP - 54 p. AB - Hydroplaning is the loss of traction between tire and pavement due to the presence of a layer of water. This loss of traction can result in loss of vehicle control. A porous friction surface (PFS) applied over an existing pavement permits the water to drain laterally and vertically away from the tire path, effectively lowering hydroplaning potential. Equipment used to measure pavement drainage (permeability) is discussed with respect to usage on porous friction surface. Background information on hydroplaning, flow theory, and PFS field performance as they are affected by permeability are also presented. Pavement permeability equipment is divided into two groups: static test devices and dynamic test devices. Static test devices measure pavement permeability up to the hydrodynamic pressure range. Dynamic test devices measure pavement permeability in the hydrodynamic pressure range. Two dynamic test devices and four static devices are considered for measuring PFS permeabiity. Permeability tests are recommended to measure PFS permeability for maintenance purposes and construction control. Dynamic devices cited in this report could possibly estimate hydroplaning potential; further research must be done to determine this. Permeability devices cannot be used to accurately estimate friction of a pavement surface, however, decreased permeability of a pavement infers a decrease in friction. A static test device, which has been extensively field tested by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), is recommended to measure PFS permeability.

Aviation human factors research is the study of how these people function in the performance of their jobs as pilots, controllers, or maintenance and ground-support personnel. Increasing automation and system complexity are placing new and different demands on staff of the nation's air transportation system. Concern over human performance in safety has been raised in Congress, industry, and the academic community. Aviation safety areas which have been the subject of recent attention include both the air traffic control and the cockpit aspects of the system. In the past, the development and application of new aviation system technology both in ATC and flight systems has been directed toward increasing the traffic through-put capacity of the NAS. With a few notable exceptions, such as Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), advances in technology have not been applied directly toward the improvement of flight safety. This proposed program is intended to develop and apply advanced behavioral analysis and technology to improve flight safety and promote civil aviation. The successful application of technology to safety problems in any system as complex as the NAS system requires an integrated approach. The FAA currently has an active and integrated air traffic control research and development program, but has not developed a centralized and systematic approach to improving flight crew performance has yet to be developed. The purpose of this Aviation Human Factors Research Plan is to address that need by focusing on cockpit- and pilot-related problems and develop an integrated approach to such problems.

AB - In response to recommendations from the Office of Personnel Management for measures of normal color vision that reflect as closely as possible the functional color vision requirements for an air traffic controller, subtests which simulated air traffic control tasks were developed in three content areas: (1) aircraft colors for fuselage and lights, (2) color weather radar displays, and (3) navigational chart terrain elevations. Previous research performed an item analysis on these subtests using data obtained from 41 persons with normal color vision as determined by their performance on the Pseudoisochromatic Plates Test (PIP) from the American Optical Corporation and 22 persons with defective color vision according to the PIP. The item parameters and the internal consistency reliability estimates obtained were satisfactory; however, minimum passing scores were not established. The purpose of this research is to determine a minimum passing score for each of these tests and for a simple composite of all three.

AB - Two types of shift rotation in the same air traffic facility were investigated in order to determine the relative advantages and disadvantages of nonrotating shift work (steady shift) and rotating shift work. The rotating shift work chosen for comparison was a 2-2-1 pattern often preferred by air traffic controllers, and which consists of a schedule of progressively earlier work periods throughout the workweek, with 9 to 14 hours off duty between 8-hour work periods, and an extended off-duty period of 80 hours between workweeks. Objective differences, as judged by urine biochemistry, between works on the two shift patterns are minimal and statistically insignificant. Generally, however, greater fatigue was reported in connection with the 2-2-1 rotation than with the steady shift, both preshift and postshift. Where prework to postwork changes in subjective fatigue were compared for the two shift patterns, no statistically significant differences were noted. Within the 2-2-1 schedule, there was significantly greater excretion of catecholamines on the day watch as compared to the evening watch; and significantly greater preshift fatigue reported on day shift than evening shift. Despite the observed differences between and within the steady and rotating shift patterns, employee participation in shift pattern choice may have contributed greatly to worker contentment and willingness to accept the observed stressors. A separate addendum clarifies specific biochemical data interpretation difficulties encountered in this study.

A main feature of the project was first time use of all epoxy coated steel in the continuously reinforced concrete pavement. Design problems relating to highway capacity and how best to rehabilitate the aging, 23-year-old concrete highway were addressed and solved simultaneously. With the exception of a 4.2 mile section of the overall project area, which was still in good condition, the existing concrete pavement was removed, crushed to meet standard specification coarse aggregates for concrete, and recycled into the new overlay. Principal features of this innovative project are described.

These projects, located on I-94 near Kalamazoo and on I-75 south of Detroit, totaled ~27 miles in length, and the average costs were $850,000/dual 24' roadway mile. Major state-of-the-art construction innovations from these projects are described. Special attention will be given to the type of materials used and the condition of the current pavement. These facts will determine the final mix design. Several more sections of 30-year-old interstate highway will also be recycled in 1985. Life-cycle cost analyses, completed on 1 specific project, indicate that at a 5% discount rate and determining the major contract maintenance that would be needed for a 35-year life for each alternate, an approximate 15% cost advantage is attained in using concrete over the comparable bituminous design alternates used in this project.

When tested at high or low temperatures, or after accelerated weathering, certain sealants show a reduced ability to withstand joint movement caused by expansion and contraction of pavement sections. The ability of these sealants to withstand vertical deflections caused by heavy trucks on concrete pavement slabs is also affected. This paper presents test results that may explain why some sealants have limited field success even though they may pass extension/compression tests run at room temperature on unaged material.

This paper summarizes these efforts and evaluates the specific details of rigid pavements that affect ride quality, especially joints and joint faulting. The problem is analyzed, and the results of major research efforts in Texas since 1975 are outlined. These results show that root-mean-squared-vertical-acceleration can give an effective summary of rigid pavement roughness for use in evaluation. Attention is also given to construction controls of final roughness or ride quality of pavements. Results from this study are applicable to new construction as well as to long-term monitoring.

Both a normal and a Student's t distribution are considered in the analysis and comparisons are made between estimates resulting from both approaches. Guidelines are provided for estimating the number of deflection measurements for rigid pavements based on findings emanating from this study. Figures are also presented as an alternate method for determining deflection sample size. Deflections measured near the pavement edge are influenced by the temperature gradient in a concrete slab. A method is proposed that predicts temperature in the concrete slab in order to apply a suitable temperature correction.

The concrete overlay, with a thickness of 20-23 cm, was intended to strengthen an asphaltic pavement carrying ~17,000 vehicles/day. Six types of joints were constructed: undoweled joints, joints with evenly spaced dowels, and joints with variably spaced dowels, each sealed and unsealed. Observations show that, on average, only 1 joint in 3 is active. Slab rocking movements, during the passage of a 13-ton axle, were only detectable, until the end of 1981, in 40 of 140 joints with an amplitude of the order of 1/100th of a mm. At the end of 1984, those measurements indicate a different behavior between doweled and undoweled joints, yet without practical consequences, seeing the very low level of those movements in comparison to standard concrete roads. No visible defects resulted from unsealed joints. The high quality asphaltic underlayers and the efficient drainage system for infiltrated water are likely key factors supporting the excellent behavior of all the joint variants.

Fatigue damage caused by traffic load repetitions deteriorates pavement components so that their stiffness properties decay with time. The modulus of elasticity and strength of concrete decrease as traffic imposes load repetitions stressin/straining the concrete. Microcracking occurs, reducing the strength and modulus of elasticity of the concrete slab. The method of analysis proposed herein considers the damaging effect caused on the slab by the repetitive load. The damage is quantified as decay in the stiffness of concrete, amount of cracking, and decay in load transfer efficiency. The computer implementation is based on the ILLISLAB method developed at the University of Illinois. The pavement components are assumed to have a stress- or strain-dependent behavior, and the concrete slab is considered as an orthotropic plate, in the method proposed in this research.

The 33 fibrous concrete sections, 4 continuously reinforced concrete pavement sections, 2 mesh reinforced, and 2 plain concrete sections with doweled reinforcement were rated relative to eachother on a scale of 0-100. All experimental overlay sections had performed quite well in the period from 5 through 10 years, experiencing only limited additional deterioration. Based on relatively good performance through 10 years, the sections will be maintained for further research with another evaluation at 15 years. In general, the thicker, nonfibrous pavement overlay sections performed better than the fibrous reinforced concrete overlays. The additional cost of the fibrous concrete overlays cannot be justified based on the comparative performance of the fibrous and thicker nonfibrous overlay sections.

The test-section consisted of 3 slabs, each with a length of 30 m and width of 7.5 m. To avoid the stressing actions within the expansion joints, the stressing steel was arranged in the diagonal direction. The length was kept reduced to keep the expansion joints as simple as possible. The structural design was based on fatigue theory making use of the Palmgren-Miner rule. However, the test-section was located on an urban road designed for the northern access road to the Y-tunnel that carries about 70,000 vehicles/day on 4 lanes. Lastly, the paper provides a discussion of some economic aspects of the project.

Analysis models used in RPEDD1 include a self-iterative procedure to determine in-situ moduli of pavement layers using a layered elastic theory, a self-iterative procedure for determination of non-linear strain dependent moduli of granular layers and subgrade, and a procedure to predict fatigue life and existing structural capacity. A methodology was developed to ensure uniqueness of the estimated in-situ moduli. Deflection basins measured by FWD or Dynaflect can be analyzed by RPEDD1 in a few iterations to determine unique values of pavement moduli. The guidelines given for application of the structural evaluation system provide a rational approach to rehabilitation design.

The research was conducted to help investigate the cause(s) of premature deterioration on segments of concrete highway pavement in Florida. This paper describes a portion of one phase of the continuing research, including the test road facility itself, and some of what was learned from the first group of FWD drops on that road.

This cracking reduced the stiffness of the slab and the strength of the subbase so that structural cracking developed under traffic loading. Visual assessment of the structural condition of the pavement was based on a load transfer constant which, in turn, correlated with deflections and relative vertical movements at the joints. To relate the visual condition to pavement response and, eventually, to performance, an analytical model was used to calculate pavement response in terms of vertical movement and deflections. Experimental overlay sections using PCC, continuously graded crushed stone, and asphaltic concrete, were built to calibrate the analytical model, and these sections were trafficked by road users; a mobile accelerated traffic simulator was also used to evaluate the relative performance of each section. This paper discusses the findings on some of the concrete overlay sections and data is extrapolated to include preliminary predictions of the performance of those overlays not yet tested by the traffic simulator.

RISC is the result of coupling finite element plate theory with multilayer elastic layer theory, and consists of a 2-layer rigid slab resting on a semi-infinite 3-layer elastic solid foundation. The specific features of RISC are described. Model verification includes comparison with known solutions whenever possible; however, as the RISC model is an extension beyond the scope of existing theories, qualitative comparisons are also included. The pavement design program uses RISC for stress analysis; however, the input requirements have been drastically simplified for the convenience of the user. The output includes the expected design life.

Among the main properties of concrete that vary with CAT are the modulus of elasticity, the coefficient of contraction and expansion, and tensile strength; these properties, in turn, influence the performance of concrete pavements. However, the selection of CAT is often left to the contractor without having evaluated the consequences of using an aggregate whose properties were not considered during the design stage. To illustrate the variation of CRCP performance with the 2 CATs most often used Texas (crushed limestone and siliceous river gravel), typical values of the physical properties of concrete produced with these 2 aggregates were selected from lab results. Three different approaches were used to estimate thickness equivalencies between limestone and siliceous river gravel CRCPs and are described. Results of theoretical analyses from this research indicate that, for the 2 CATs tested, generally less distress was observed in limestone CRCP. Findings developed could be used to determine approximate equivalent thicknesses for the 2 aggregate types considered here if there is no need for detailed analysis. By using recommended thickness equivalencies, the designer has enough information to estimate costs of construction of a CRCP section when permitted to employ either limestone or siliceous river gravel coarse aggregate.

This benefit has been quantified to show greater life expectancy for existing pavements and also to design more cost effective new concrete pavements. This paper describes research performed to support this structural benefit to mainline pavement, which was conducted in 2 phases. Field measurements were undertaken in 1976 on a new pavement. These measurements established the structural benefit of the concrete shoulder and provided a baseline condition for further studies aimed at testing these benefits over the service life of the pavement. In 1982, the 1976 sites were retested. The new data substantiated the findings of the original research. Using field data from the 1982 study and results of theoretical analysis, procedures showing the benefit of concrete shoulders in pavement design and service life expectancy were established.

Bending stresses in concrete slabs were calculated, assuming a sinusoidal settlement profile of the subgrade. These proved to be dependent on the quotient of settlement amplitude and the square of the half wavelength, as well as on slab dimension, slab stiffness, and modulus of subgrade reaction. To determine the fatigue life, these stresses were combined with those of the traffic loading and those following from a thermal gradient. A nomograph was derived for the practical case of a highway pavement that relates the thickness of the slabs to the settlement amplitude and the half wavelength. Critical values for the settlement characteristics were also calculated to keep the slabs from losing contact with the subgrade. From calculations, it followed that for concrete pavements, differential settlements with half wavelengths that are sometimes the slab's length are acceptable. However, settlements occurring over small distances must be avoided as they could quickly lead to premature cracking.

Since then, several new practices in pavement construction and performance experience have occurred for which existing design procedures do not apply, such as: 1) pavements with undoweled transverse joints; 2) lean concrete subbases under concrete pavements; 3) concrete shoulders; 4) modes of distress, primarily due to erosion of pavement foundations, which are unrelated to existing design criteria; and 5) triple axles. To incorporate these items, a revised design procedure has been developed by the PCA. The main aim of this paper is to explain the basis for the design criteria and development of the design procedures. A few examples are also presented to show the mechanics of the design procedures and the effects of using/not using doweled joints, concrete shoulders, and special subbases.

Conventional structures with undoweled slabs over a lean concrete subbase have demonstrated good performance. The structure consisting of thick slabs placed over an untreated porous subbase does not entail any application problems; its performance has been the subject of many studies. The gritting of fresh concrete combined with partial surface bearing on projects in 1984 may be regarded as an operational technique. Concrete compacting is being carried out effectively. Completed pavements are checked regularly to evaluate their performance. This paper serves to review the techniques and structures used since the early 1980s, and outlines the latest technical and technological developments in the field.

Analysis is based on application of the approximate closed-form probabilistic solution (Taylor Series Expansion) to Westergaard free edge slab theory. The methodology developed was used to formulate reliability-based solutions that interrelate either slab thickness and the desired traffic coverage levels. Implementability of the approach is illustrated by a study involving ranges of in-situ material variability, foundation support, and aircraft load ranges. Results clearly demonstrate the key importance of the "design reliability level" upon design thickness.

One of the most frequent is plastic shrinkage cracking, which has occurred in certain areas of the pavements at the recently constructed Gaborone International Airport (GIA) in Botswana. To place the problem in proper context, this paper first deals with concrete aircraft pavement design and construction with particular reference to the principles and methods adopted for the pavements at GIA. The paper then introduces the principles and types of cracking that can occur, followed by a detailed analysis of the causes of the plastic shrinkage cracking at GIA. Lastly, the remedial measures undertaken are described and procedures suggested by which such cracking may be minimized in the future.

The equivalency between the base-subgrade and the composite subgrade (CS) is evaluated on the basis of equal maximum tensile stress. It is found that the CS modulus (CSM) is not only a function of the base and subgrade properties, but also a function of the concrete layer thickness and load configuration. A regression equation for determining the CS modulus of elasticity as a function of pavement geometry and number of wheels of the gear load is given. Results of the study are in good agreement with conventional approaches of the FAA and PCA modifications of the procedure for determining CSM.

It is shown that most U.K. pavements are on low concrete block pavement subgrades and that relatively few designs can be used for most projects. A design method is introduced, developed by the Cement & Concrete Association, that produces cost effective pavements for light traffic roads. The British Ports Association design method for heavy paving, for both new pavement design and for strengthening existing pavements, is also described. Various civil engineering materials are discussed, and a technique for assessing the suitability of granular subbase materials is suggested. The use of Geoweb materials is assessed, and general conclusions are drawn indicating that U.K. concrete block paving (CBP) design methods are well established and that CBP is being regarded as an orthodox solution for many categories of pavement.

Thus, thinner FRC sections may be used in place of plain or conventional RC sections. FRC provides a major advantage over plain concrete for rehabilitation and expansion projects where vertical alignment, overhead clearances, or drainage profiles must be maintained. This advantage may offset the additional cost and control required to reduce the curling, corner cracking, and shrinkage cracking that have plagued many projects. These problems are generally attributable to the thinner slab sections and higher cement and fly ash contents associated with FRC. Future work may show that shorter, thicker slabs and a revised mix design are required.

Factors studied include the type, thickness, and laying pattern of the blocks; the choice of bedding and jointing sands; the thickness and quality of the subbase; and the effects of variations in subgrade strength. The derivation of a new methodology for the design of block pavements is next described. This method is suitable for both roads and heavy duty industrial pavements. For illustrative purposes, selected design nomographs are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of block paving compared both with other forms of concrete paving and with conventional flexible pavements are also discussed. A range of successful applications of block pavements is then described, including pavements both in North American and around the world.

Three different types selected from the South African catalog of pavement design are analyzed on the basis of present worth of costs. These are: a heavy-duty concrete pavement, one with a bituminous base, and one with a crushed-stone base. The last 2 pavements are supported on stiff cement-stabilized subbases. It is shown that the concrete pavement is more economical than bituminous base pavements, especially when road user delay costs are considered. However, a pavement with a high quality crushed-stone base that is kept well sealed is the most economical of the 3 types studied. This type of pavement can presently be constructed with confidence to carry very heavy traffic only in areas where the climate is relatively dry and there is experience with good quality pavements.

Improvements in diamond saw blades and grinding equipment during the past 20 years have made diamond grinding the most cost effective method to restore riding quality and skid-resistance to a structurally sound concrete pavement. The data contained in this paper is based on actual restoration work by various agencies, and was written to help the reader understand diamond grinding and how it is used in the Concrete Pavement Restoration process. Also included are criteria for determining when diamond grinding is needed, cost effectiveness of the grinding process, and tips on achieving longevity of skid-resistance.

The use of silica and other admixtures makes it possible to deliver high strength concrete at a reasonable cost. This paper discusses the rehabilitation and resurfacing of the thin pavement design utilized widely throughout Norway. The focus is on pavement profilers used in milling down the pavement on a test track, and driving research conducted directly on the milled surface prior to a new milling or resurfacing being performed. Results show that, to ensure future maintenance needs, 30-70 mm should be added to the design thickness of the pavement, depending on future traffic. When the surface develops londitudinal rutting, it is removed and the cross-section can be restored by grinding down with a pavement profiler.

Concrete pavements make up a significant portion of the pavement system, which, in the U.S., is composed of highways, civil airports, and military airfields. This paper discusses the status of existing concrete pavements. Lacking specific data regarding the condition of the existing concrete pavements, the discussions were made assuming that they have performed about the same as the total pavement system. Rehabilitation of the existing pavement system is generally agreed to be the major pavement construction program for the foreseeable future, and the role of concrete pavements in effecting the rehabilitation is examined.

AB - The FAA Rotorcraft Task Force (ROTAF) and subsequently the Rotorcraft Program Office have developed a Rotorcraft Master Plan to enhance the National Airspace System over the next two decades to permit helicopters to employ their unique capabilities to the maximum practical extent; to provide for an adequate system of Visual Flight Rules/Instrument Flight Rules (VFR/IFR) heliports; and to improve safety by upgraded certification criteria while promoting the use of advancing technology. It is expected that there will be an increasing demand for urban-area rotorcraft operations both between and within major metropolitan areas. There will continue to be a Federally funded program to assist communities in heliport planning and construction. Use of larger rotorcraft in urban areas will require considerable research and development in noise reduction because until adequate sound suppression measures are implemented, heliport development will be inhibited at many locations. The air traffic control system will require refinement for accommodation of helicopter growth.

VOLUME 5 - SUMMARY OF VALIDATION STUDIES. FINAL REPORT PY - 1984/09 SP - 48 p. AB - This report summarizes a research project that was conducted to investigate the use of Marshall properties for acceptance purposes. Since the Marshall properties are physically related, they can be expected to be statistically correlated. It is therefore necessary to determine whether correlations exist amoung the properties, and how such correlations should be considered when developing acceptance plans. The research consisted of 3 major phases; a laboratory analysis, field data collection and computer simulation analyses. A laboratory analysis was conducted to establish whether correlations are present among asphalt content, gradation, and the Marshall values for stability, flow and air voids. Another aspect of the laboratory analysis investigated 3 methods for determining maximum specific gravity (MSG) for air voids determination. Field data were also collected from 5 paving projects. Finally, computer simulation was used to evaluate the performance of 7 methods for determining the payment factor for the Marshall properties. It is recommended that ASTM D-2041 be used to establish MSG values for both the job mix formula and for field quality control testing. It is also recommended that the quality index approach be used to estimate individual PWL values for each of the Marshall properties. These PWL values can then be used with a payment schedule to determine individual payment factors for the 3 properties. The overall Marshall payment factor is then the average of the 3 individual factors.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration medically certifies individuals who have a medical deficiency or disease for a variety of flying privileges, provided it can be determined that such action does not compromise air safety. During recent years, for example, standards have been relaxed with respect to contact lens use and medication allowed for control of hypertension. This descriptive epidemiologic study presents the point prevalence of pathology among active airmen as of January 1, 1984, by major body system and for other selected pathologies of interest within the major body systems. Data were obtained from active computer files maintained by the Aeromedical Certification Branch of the Civil Aeromedical Institute in connection with the certification program. Cardiovascular, eye and abdominal pathologies represent the most prevalent medical conditions among active airmen (5.9%, 4.4% and 4.0%, respectively). Hypertension is the most frequently occurring cardiovascular condition. Of particular interest is the current certification of 263 airmen who have undergone coronary artery bypass. Some 324,986 active airmen (45%) require correction for some visual deficiency. Of this total, 20,355 are contact lens wearers. History of kidney stones is the most common genitourinary/ abdominal finding. Prevalence of pathology among active civil airmen, while still considerably less than among the general population, is increasing due to current and past emphasis on relaxation of regulatory requirements when consistent with safety.

VOLUME 4 - COMPUTER SIMULATION OF MULTIPLE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA PY - 1984/08 SP - 105 p. AB - This report presents the procedures and results of a computer simulation analysis conducted to investigate the performance of 7 methods for determining the payment factor for a lot of materials when 3 correlated acceptance properties, i.e., the Marshall stability, flow and air voids, are used for acceptance purposes. The methods investigated were based upon triple numerical integration of the 3 properties, multiplying the individual property values, averaging the individual property values and using the smallest individual property value. Marshall test results from 15 runway paving projects were analyzed to determine mean, variance and correlation values obtained in field construction. Computer simulation was used to investigate the performance of the various methods for determining the payment factor for multiple acceptance properties. Simulation was used to generate Marshall test results for using population values from the 15 field projects. The mean square payment error (MSE) for each method was used as the norm and the minimum MSE as the criterion for choice among the methods. It is recommended that the average of the 3 payment factors for the individual Marshall properties be determined using the quality index approach currently employed by the FAA Eastern Region for density acceptance purposes. The payment factor for the Marshall properties can then be calculated as the average of the 3 individual property payment factors.

AB - The rapid growth in air transportation volume with the associated increase in payload has led to faster rates of airport pavement deterioration. Overlays using engineering fabrics are often used as a rehabilitation technique. Although it is generally believed that the engineering fabrics will retard reflection cracking, no rational mechanistic design method is yet available that permits the effective use of these fabrics. In this report, a survey of available mechanistic models for reflection cracking as well as geotextile system is reviewed. A first generation design program (EFRON), has been developed based upon a two-dimensional finite element program to determine the stress patterns in the overlay. A three-dimensional computer program (RISC) is used to estimate existing pavement life. The fatigue cracking resistance of the fabric reinforced overlay system is evaluated by conducting laboratory beam fatigue testing on asphaltic overlays over concrete base. Three types of fabrics, as well as a control with no fabric, were used in the tests. Both thermal and loading fatigue cracking are simulated by applying external vertical and/or horizontal forces to produce joint movements equal to that of the full-scale pavements under field conditions. The results of the laboratory fatigue testing demonstrated the effectiveness of the engineering fabrics in retarding the formation of reflective cracking. Furthermore, the comparison of these results with EFRON program analysis indicated the full capability of EFRON to model the laboratory performance and hence its potential to predict the performance of overlays of actual runway. The verification of the accuracy of the EFRON Program for runway overlays will be covered in Phase III of this study.

An historical review of controller selection research includes an international overview, US research from 1941 to 1963, contributions of the Civil Aeromedical Institute and the Office of Aviation Medicine and adjustments following the PATCO strike. A section on job analysis and characteristics of air traffic controllers is followed by six chapters on measurement of air traffic controller performance. These include terminal, enroute and flight service station training program assessment, controller skills tests, dynamic paper-and-pencil simulations for proficiency measurement and criterion measurement in selection research. Research leading to FAA's 1981 ATC selection tests includes chapters on development of the new Multiple Controller Aptitude Test and Occupational Knowledge Test, personality assessment of ATC applicants, studies from 1972 through 1978 to validate the new selection tests, conformity of the new experimental battery to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Requirements and recommendations for adoption of the new battery and further research. An overview of projected developments in ATC systems technology from now to the year 2000 is used to project changes that will occur in the air traffic controller's future role and function.

AGE, BIOGRAPHIC FACTORS, AND SELECTION TEST PERFORMANCE RELATED TO ACADEMY TRAINING SUCCESS PY - 1984/06 SP - 21 p. AB - The August 1981 strike of air traffic control specialists (ATCS's) and their subsequent firing led to the air traffic strike recovery program, which included the unprecedented hiring and basic training of over 8,000 ATCS applicants in a 2-year period. A new selection procedure was also implemented which included a job-related aptitude test and a test to determine the level of prior knowledge of ATCS's procedures for assigning extra rating points in the selection rating process. This report presents three studies that provide comparisons of prestrike and poststrike characteristics of ATCS trainees. Results indicate that Academy pass rates for the poststrike selection procedure were higher for all rating ranges; the overall pass rate for those selected from the new procedure was 63 percent versus 56 percent from the old procedure. Findings also showed a linear relationship between age at entry and pass/fail status at the end of initial screening; overall pass rates were higher for those with aviation experience than for those with no experience, but a similar decline in performance with age was evident. Since the strike, the biographic composition of the population applying for positions as ATCS's has changed. Two-thirds of the poststrike applicants have no prior experience in aviation. The most important biographic predictor of minority pass/fail status was age, with high school physical science grades second. For nonminorities, the most important predictors of pass/fail status were high school math grades and age, in that order. The several sets of findings have relevance both to selection and to recruitment practices for ATCS's.

AB - To provide a basis for a series of studies on shipping crates and environmental conditions that may be encountered in air transport of dogs, this research seeks to establish a suitable tolerance endpoint for heat/humidity stress in dogs. The authors monitored the heart rate, respiratory/panting rate and rectal temperature of 10 male beagle dogs exposed to an air temperature of 95 deg F (relative humidity of 93 percent) for less than 24 hours. Of the first six animals, two died during exposure, two died after being removed from the test chamber and two survived a 24-hour exposure. Based on observations from these 6 dogs, a rectal temperature of 108 deg F was tentatively chosen as the tolerance endpoint for subsequent tests. Of four additional animals tested, two were removed from the environmental chamber when their rectal temperature reached 108 deg F and the other two finished the test with a rectal temperature not exceeding 102.7 deg F. No ill effects were noted in any of the surviving six animals during a 7-day post-observation period. These and subsequent findings indicate a rectal temperature of 108 deg F can be safety tolerated and can serve as a tolerance limit for additional studies of heat and humidity effects on dogs.

AB - Two apspects concerning evaluation by the Marshall method of bituminous airport pavement construction were addressed. Results from field Marshall and extraction test were analyzed to identify correlations among the Marshall properties--stability, flow, and air voids--and asphalt content and aggregate gradation. This was done to evaluate the implementation of a multiple price adjustment system based on Marshall properties, and for the development of mathematical models for estimating each property from the percent asphalt content and aggregate gradation. Data were obtained from 5 airport paving projects; however, 2 of these had such small tonnages that there were not sufficient data to prove meaningful. A moderately low negative correlation exists between stability and air voids, while no statistically significant correlation was found to exist between stability and flow. The flow and air voids correlations were not consistent among the two projects considered, with one suggesting a moderately low negative correlation, and the other no statistically significant one. The mathematical models developed for stability, flow, and air voids from extracted asphalt content and aggregate gradation were not good predictors of those properties. This is probably due primarily to the relatively high sampling and testing variability associated wit the field extraction tests.

AB - The laboratory phase of a three phase research effort conducted to field validate a multiple price adjustment system for bituminous airport pavements using the Marshall properties, stability, flow and air voids, is presented. The purpose of the laboratory phase was to identify whether correlations exist among the Marshall properties within individual tests. To consider the use of these properties in a multiple price adjustment system, it was first necessary to identify these correlations. The experimental design consisted of 4 different aggregate gradations and 6 different asphalt contents for a total of 24 combinations. A total of 12 relicates were tested for each combination for a total of 288 Marshall test specimens. A number of statistical analyses were conducted on the laboratory test results. An analysis of variance was conducted to determine whether time, i.e., order of testing, had an effect on the results. Correlation coefficients among the Marshall properties, i.e., stability with flow, stability with air voids and flow with air voids, were calculated for each of the 24 combinations. The results of the annalysis indicate correlations that are consistent enough to violate an assumption of statistical independence among the properties. The results indicate that the effect of correlations among the properties should be taken into consideration in developing a multiple price adjustment approach based on the Marshall properties.

VOLUME 3 - STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THREE METHODS FOR DETERMINING MAXIMUM SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE MIXTURES PY - 1984/05 SP - 86 p. AB - Five repliates of asphaltic concrete at five asphalt contents were produced and tested to compare maximum specific gravities determined by individual constituents, by solvent immersion, and by ASTM D-2041. The effects of variations in asphalt content on the maximum specific gravities obtained by the three methods were also considered. A statistically significant difference was found to exist between the solvent immersion and ASTM D-2041 methods and individual constitituents methods. The difference varies witt asphalt content. Since the solvent immersion and ASTM D-2041 methods provide statistically different results, it is not appropriate to allow the use of both methods in the same specification unless separate acceptance limits are used. It is recommended that the solvent immersion mehtod be eliminated from use since the ASTM D-2041 procedures are much more commonly used. To avoid the use of a correction factor to convert the ASTM D-2041 values to equivalent individual constituents values, as is currently done, it is recommended that the maximum specific gravity for job mix formula determination be established by the ASTM D-2041 method.

AB - Studies were conducted at the 110a BFI sanitary landfill near Jedburg, Berkeley and Dorchester counties, South Carolina to determine what bird species actively fed at the landfill and to measure the effect an overhead wire barrier system had on bird populations and behavior. The control study was conducted during 2 December 1983 - 5 January 1984, and the experimental observations were done during 7 January - 3 February 1984. The main species at Jedberg were Ring-billed Gulls, Fish Crows and Common Crows. The wire system reduced the mean number of gulls and crow by as much as two-thirds, but did not affect the hour to hour variation in gull and crows soaring over the BFI land-fill when compared with the Dorchester County-SCA landfill. This study showed that a wire barrier system effectively reduced the numbers of gulls and especially crows feeding and loafing at Jedburg.

AB - Portland International Airport established its bird hazard reduction program in November 1978. At that time, bird control was a fairly new area to public airports in the U.S. Many concepts were available for hazard reduction, but there was not many tried-and-true programs in existance. PIA was recognized by the FAA as having one of the worst bird strike hazard problems in the country by strike reports that they received and by aircraft damage reported. The hazard reduction program produced dramatic results. A year's average total for strikes after the programs inception has been consistently less than an average 2-3 months total prior to its implementation. Aircraft damage has been almost nil for five years. Dealing with a bird strike hazard means dealing with a problem that will probably never be eradicated, but can definitely be controlled with proper identification of causes and solutions.

AB - The Red-wing Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is the most abundant bird in North America today. It is often joined in roosting assemblages by Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula), Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater), and Starling Sturnus vulgaris). The combined populations of these 4 species exceed 500 million birds during the winter roosting season and increase to over 1 billion birds after the young are fledged in summer. In spite of their abundance, they are involved in only about 6% of the bird strikes to aircraft, less than 1/7 the number of strikes caused by the less abundant gulls (Larus spp.). However, the rather infrequent collisions between aircraft and blackbirds or Starlings can be catastrophic, even though these species have less than 10% the weight of most gull species. Because blackbirds and Starlings are prolific and well adapated to modern land-use practices, attempts to eradicate populations at airports through killing will provide only temporary relief. The key to reducing blackbird and Starling activity in the vicinity of airports lies in the elimination of preferred roost sites through habitat modifications and in the reduction of food supplies through changes in agriculture.

Between 17 September 1978 and 7 March 1980, data were collected on the occurance of Ring-billed Gulls, Herring Gulls, Turkey Vultures, American Crow and European Starlings at a Maryland land fill. Control procedures involving pyrotechnics were implemented on 6 January 1979. The effectiveness of control procedures on the various species is discussed. The results demonstrate that gulls can be prevented from concentrating at a landfill as can the other species but persistence and dedication on the part of bird control personnel are required in order to succeed.

AB - On behalf of Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI), we assessed the effectiveness of fine parallel overhead wires in deterring herring and ring-billed gulls from landing at an active sanitary landfill in Niagara Falls, N.Y. BFI was responsible for design and installation of the wire effectiveness from January to December 1983. The study design consisted of alternating periods with and without wires over the active portion of the test landfill, plus control observations at two other landfills. Overhead wires at 12m (40 ft) spacing deterred most herring gulls from feeding. Ring-billed gulls were largely deterred by wires at 12m spacing when limited garbage was present, but penetrated wires at 12m spacing when attracted by large amounts of garbage. Wires at 6m (20 ft) spacing deterred most ring-billed gulls in late spring even with large amounts of garbage present. In summer, when peak numbers of gulls visit landfill sites in the area, numbers of feeding ring-billed gulls were substantially reduced by wires 6m apart, but the deterrent effect was less marked than at other seasons. A large proportion of gulls feeding under the wires in summer were young of-the-year.

AB - By special provisions of landscape management it was possible to reduce the number of birdstrikes on German military airfields; on civil airports the birdstrikes situation has been improving slowly over the past few years. Agricultural use and pasturing on airfields/airports has been forbidden on grassland areas. Special methods of grass mowing have practical e.g. long-grass-procedure and/or use of growth inhibitors. Large areas have been afforested with small/low woods with a high density; heater and swamp/bog areas have been promoted. So an exchange of large birds against small size birds could be reached. In the airport surroundings it was necessary to eliminate all areas attractive for birds; especially with respect to artificial lakes detailed provisions and landscape management has been carried out to minimize birdstrike risk during approach and climbing.

AB - Gulls may visit airports to utilize the open space for loafing or other activities. They are more likely to do so if there are attractive feeding areas nearby. One of the more important food attractions, particularly for ring-billed gulls, is that provided by areas in which large volumes of edible refuse (domestic or industrial) are exposed. If gulls can be prevented from feeding in such areas they are much less likely to loaf on neighbouring areas, including airports. Recent work has demonstrated the efficiency of widely space suspended, very fine wires and fine nylon monofilaments in discouraging gull feeding in areas over which the wires (lines) are stretched. The technique does not impose an easily visible physical barrier such as traditionally used at fish hatcheries. The few birds that penetrate under the fine wires (lines), when disturbed, appear to have no difficulty flying up and out through the wires. That is in contrast to more than 80 percent of birds that will not penetrate the wired area from above to get at the food.

AB - One of the primary functions of the Air Forces Bird/Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Team is to assist bases worldwide with their bird hazards. Due to the wide variety of environments of bases, as well as the diverse missions of the aircraft, in-depth staff assistance proves to be a real challenge. Coupled with these difficulties is the added problem of personnel reassignment which does not allow for corporate memory to exist for an extended period of time. To combat these problems, the BASH Team has written a BASH Guidance Package, as base self-inspection checklist, and the Handbook on Bird Management and Control. In addition to these publications, the Team provides on-site assistance for specific and more difficult situations. Each of these items are described in more detail.

AB - Airport designers and planners, when considering the natural environment within and around the airport have two options. Those options are; to create as stertile an environment as possible thereby excluding fauna, or to create an aesthetically pleasing environment, a pride to both city and traveller, with all the attendant problems of pest control required for safety; In effect an artificial ecological island. Design considerations can be devised to include landscaping models which exclude some mammals and meet aesthetic requirements. Technological means to eliminate or repel mammals from airports such as trapping, chemical repellents, removal of attractants, aversive conditioning, and mechanical or electronic scaring devices are now available and their relative value has been reviewed.

AB - Once the site is selected the design of the airport including its drainage system, its buildings, and its ground cover can, and should be, carried on in a way that minimizes the attraction to birds, and other species. Agriculture on leased land on the airport as well as on adjacent land can provide bird attractions almost as great as those provided by disposal areas for food wastes and sewage treatment products. All of those attractions should be reduced to the lowest possible level, by design. Even after all the desirable steps in airports site selection and design have been accomplished there is still a need for the design and utilization of an effective wildlife control organization with proper equipment, staff and motivation to be ready to deal with unexpected bird visitors or other pest species attracted by the large open space of the airport which cannot by design alone, be rendered completely unattractive to birds.

AB - This report is a review and analysis of literature pertinent to the use of airport lands for agriculture in the conterminous United States (U.S). The paper is based on articles that (1) either document bird utilization of 85 crops or rate the appropriateness of 15 farming activities for airports and (2) identify the North American bird species that utilize these crops and activities. Our review show that 57 crops were documented as utilized by at least one species; no reports of bird use were found for 28 crops. According to three bird-aviation authorities, only one farming activity (i.e., non-pasture stock farming) is suitable for practice within two miles of the airport center. Altogether, 69 species of birds are reported to damage or utilize agriculture in the U.S. Although numerous reports have designated gulls as the most hazardous species to air traffic, this review indicates that certain species of blackbirds, waterfowl, and gallinaceous birds pose greater hazards-at least on conjunction with airport agriculture.

AB - During 1 April - 24 June 1983, daily bird-scaring operations were undertaken by a private contractor at Quinted Sanitary Landfill Site (SLS) to help reduce hull numbers at nearby CFB Trenton. We made independent bird observations each week during the same period both at Quinte SLS and at two control SLS's where no bird-scaring operations took place. The effectiveness of individual visits to Quinte SLS by the bird-scaring personnel was usually of short duration; about 30 minutes after departure of the brid-scaring personnel gull numbers increased to those prior to the scaring operations. Prior to bird-scaring operations, gull numbers at Quinte SLS were most likely similar to those at the control SLS's. The frequent (2 or more a day) bird-scaring visits to Quinte SLS resulted in a large reduction in gull numbers, as compared to gull numbers at the control SLS's and the number of gulls that was most likely present before the scaring program. The long-term, cumulative effect of the persistend harassment of the gulls was a large drop in gull numbers, despite the fact that individual bird-scaring visits had only limited success.

AB - Cattle Egrets (Bubuluc ibis) have become established in the U.S. as a well-known species since their immigration from South America in the early 1950's. They have shown themselves to be well-adapted to new environments, and have expanded into most parts of North America. The Air Force has recorded several bird/aircraft strikes with Cattle Egrets, resulting in thousands of dollars in damage and aircraft down time. Behavioral aspects of the birds such as reproduction and feeding, combined with large populations, make Cattle Egrets a particularly bad problem in some areas. One particular Air Force location required extensive measures be taken in order to eliminate a roost site adjacent to an active airfield runway. These methods could provide some insight into dealing effectively with Cattle Egrets near airports.

AB - Research has shown that all types of resuse disposal facilities (landfills, open dumps, etc.) that handle putrescible wastes have the potential to attract birds. Birds are attracted to these sites principally to scavenge for food. When solid waste disposal facilities are located in the vicinity of airports the probability of bird strikes is increased. Accordingly, solid waste disposal facilities located in the vicinity of an airport may be incompatible with safe flight operations. Those conditions that are not compatible must be eliminated, to the extent practicable. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have developed guidelines for identifying and eliminating airport bird hazards associated with solid waste disposal facilities. FAA Order 5200.5 is directed towards airport owners and managers to promote safe airport operations. This paper is an overview of the bird hazard problem due to solid waste disposal facilities including a discussion of the Federal guidelines and programs to promote proper land use near airports with respect to these facilities.

AB - Ten healthy female pilots, 20-49 years old and weighing more than 110 pounds, were tested for tolerances to hypoxia, orthostatic stress and physical work at 1 and 3 days after donating about 450 mL of blood on one occasion, and 6 mL on a second separate occasion. Testing included consecutive 30-min seated exposures to each of four oxygen-nitrogen mixtures (equal to air breathing at 6,000, 8,000, 10,000 and 12,400 ft of altitude), 5 min of quiet standing, and seated pedal ergometry graded to produce a heart rate of 140 beats per min. At 1 day after blood donation as compared to controls: functional incapacitation occurred in 6 subjects starting at 10,000 ft altitude; psychomotor performance during hypoxic exposure was decreased; transient orthostatic instability occurred; and work capacity was decreased. At 3 days after blood donations as compared to controls: functional incapacitation occurred in 3 subjects at the end of exposure to 10,000 ft altitude; psychomotor performance remained decreased; orthostatic stability improved; and physical work capacity remained decreased. These findings indicate that, in the complete absence of adverse symptoms at ground level, a pilot may return to flying between 1 and 3 days after blood donation with the recommended initial precaution that cabin altitude be limited to no more than 6,000 ft; physical activity be minimized immediately before as well as during flight; and orthostatic stress exceeding the equivalent of short-duration level turns at greater than 30 deg of bank angle be avoided. Until complete restoration of the pilot's in-flight physiological tolerances has occurred, the presence of a copilot and onboard availability of supplemental oxygen are also recommended.

AB - Continuing medical education (CME) serves to maintain or increase the knowledge, interpretive proficiencies and technical skills that a physician uses in his/her practice of medicine. Resulting improvement in professional performance is frequently difficult to measure, particularly in aerospace medicine, but CME is required for relicensure and/or for medical society membership in 70% of states. The Civil Aeromedical Institute first received American Medical Association approval for Category I CME credit for attendance at Federal Aviation Administration seminars in January 1973. We began preparing 21-item annual performance reports for each aviation medical examiner (AME) in 1979 to attempt to isolate the causes of, and to reduce, computer rejection of about one-fourth of all medical certification input because of omissions or procedural errors. There was little improvement in error rate through 1982. We are presently conducting special sessions and open-book tests for new AME's, lecturing to military flight surgeons and encouraging regional flight surgeons to review reports of physical examinations, from new and frequent-error AMEs. We conducted a special analysis of 1983 AME performance data to determine the relationships between errors and omissions and number of exams performed, recency and frequency of seminar attendance, and pilot or military flight surgeon experience. Errors were significantly reduced with recent and frequent seminar attendance, larger volume of exams, and pilot and military flight surgeon experience.

AB - Airline pilots are required to obtain a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medial examination at 6-month intervals and must meet specific requirements for a first-class medical certificate. If the medical standards are not met, the application for first-class certification is denied. This study examined the medical records of airline pilots medically disqualified by the FAA over a 20-year period. Date of birth, employer, date of disqualification and reason for disqualification were recorded for each pilot. The data represent the final action taken on each pilot for a particular examination. During this period, 842 airline pilots were medically disqualified. Cardiovascular diseases represent the highest cause for denials, with age being a major factor in the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Denials for cardiovascular reasons account for 50% of all denials in this group. FAA medical certificate denial is minimal before age 45 but increases rapidly thereafter, with cardiovascular diseases responsible for more than half of this dramatic rise in incidence of denials. Maintenance of high standards of safety requires close cardiovascular supervision as pilots get older.

AB - Currently, more than 15,000 active airmen are certified to fly with a diagnosis of hypertension. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) blood pressure standards for certification of airmen are considered to be quite liberal; however, recent FAA policy further liberalized medications and dosages allowed in certification of airmen. Since limited information is available concerning the recorded blood pressures of airmen, a systematic sample of active pilots was extracted from automated medical files maintained by the Civil Aeromedical Institute for descriptive purposes as well as to compare with a sample of air traffic controllers, given the continuing interest in the relationship of stress in air traffic control work. Distributions of blood pressure by age were compared by using conventional non-parametric techniques for 10-year age intervals. Data were also compared with general population findings. Prevalence of hypertension is greater in the general United States population than found with any of the groups reported here. Prevalence of borderline and definite hypertension is seen to increase with age for all groups studied. Prevalence of any degree of hypertension is lower for airline pilots than either the all-airman group or the air traffic controller group. Of the three airman groups, prevalence of hypertension is highest for the air traffic controllers, but the influence of more liberal waiver and retention criteria for air traffic controllers is an important reason for the excess.

The survey was conducted at a random sample of airports across the nation throughout the months of July, August, and September, 1981 by the Federal Aviation Administration with the assistance of the Civil Air Patrol. The survey data provide information regarding the magnitude and characteristics of general aviation including: type and source of information services, trip length in time and distance, pilot age and certification. Estimates are made of total 1981 general aviation operations, fuel consumption and aircraft miles flown.

AB - This study employed auditory startle to simulate the principal components (unexpectedness, fear and physiological arousal) that are common to many types of sudden emergencies and compared performance recovery following startle with recovery following a nonstartling stimulus. The subject's primary task was to monitor a simulated air traffic control radar display. Performance recovery following the emergency (a radar failure signaled by either a loud or low level noise) was assessed in terms of response time and error rate on a secondary information processing (serial reaction) task and also in terms of subsequent performance on the radar monitoring task. Although the high intensity noise was clearly startling, while subjects exposed to the lower intensity noise showed only a surprised reaction, subsequent performance of the two noise exposure groups differed significantly in only two respects: the variance of initial response times was greater in the startled group, and this group had a higher frequency of incorrect responses on the serial reaction task during the first minute following stimulation. A comparison of these findings with those from other studies of simulated emergencies suggests that recovery time for simple perceptual-motor responses during the initial shock phase of an emergency is quite rapid and this appears to be independent of whether or not the emergency is startling and emotionally arousing or simply surprising and unexpected. If the shock phase evokes heightened emotional-physiological arousal as in the case of startle, information processing ability may be impaired for approximately 30-60 seconds following the stimulus event.

AB - Fifteen healthy men in each of three age groups, 20-29 years, 40-49 years, and 60-69 years, were evaluated regarding complex performance in two altitude conditions (ground level vs. 3,810 m) which were administered during performance testing. Performance was measured during a 3-hour test session with the Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB), which involved time-shared performance of several flight-related tasks presented in different combinations to vary workload. MTPB tasks consisted of monitoring of warning lights and meters, mental arithmetic, problem solving, visual target identification and tracking. Heart rate decreased slightly at the 3,810 m altitude in the 60-69 group, but increased significantly at altitude in the two younger groups. Both epinephrine and norepinephrine excretion rates were highest in the 20-29 group and lowest in the 40-49 group. Epinephrine excretion rate was significantly higher at altitude in all age groups, but that was not the case with norepinephrine excretion rate. Urinary 17-ketogenic steroid excretion rate and fatigue check list responses yielded no significant effects of either age or altitude. Complex (time-shared) performance of MTPB tasks decreased with age. Age related decrements occurred in monitoring tasks, information-processing tasks, and a tracking task involving psychomotor coordination. Performance differences occurring as a function of age were evident predominantly at moderate and high workload levels. There were no important effects of altitude on performance. Physiological and biochemical responses had little relation to performance. Implications of these findings for future research relating age to pilot performance are discussed.

AB - This bibliography was developed as part of a research task concerning the impact of shift work on employee job satisfaction, productivity, perceived job difficulty and subjective health. Some selectivity was exercised in the choice of references for inclusion: the search covered the years 1950 through 1982; there was an emphasis on human versus animal studies; and the focus of the selected article or study had to be on the effects of an actual alteration in sleep/work hours. The latter criterion involved the exclusion of a large number of citations concerning the assessment of circadian effects of physiological responses and performance. However, an included reference by Holly et al (1981) provides a rather extensive bibliography that is more specifically focused on circadian influences on physiological and psychological variables. Since time zone changes during flight are equivalent to rapid shifts in work/sleep hours, references on this topic were included. Of the citations, approximately 8% are from the 1950s, 20% are from the 1960s, and slightly over half are from the 1970s. Significant improvements in the quality of the research analyses have been observed over this time period, with the increased use of multivariate techniques illustrating the highly complex nature of individual responses to alternating work schedules. However, it is also apparent that there has been some duplication of effort and investigators need to be more aware of the available world-wide literature.

AB - This study of 46 living adult females is part of a long-range research program designed to establish valid analytical relationships between readily measured body dimensions and mass distribution characteristics of living populations. Presented in this report are data describing the mass distribution characteristics of primary and composite body segments. The report also contains sets of regression equations which can be used to predict segmental volumes and moments of inertia from anthropometric data. The data base is derived from both classical anthropometric measurements and from stereophotogrammetric techniques. Subjects were representative of a general United States population as defined by the 1971-74 Public Health Service, Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES). The data obtained describe segment and segment composite volumes, centers of volume, intersegment cut centroids, principal inertial axes, and surface anatomical landmarks with respect to anatomical axes developed for each segment. Experiments designed to test the validity of research techniques and controls, and to measure the differences between stereophotometrically derived values and values obtained by direct measurement techniques are also described here. It is anticipated that these data will be useful as design criteria for anthropomorphic test devices used in safety research, design and performance evaluation of safety restraint systems, and development of body prostheses.

AB - This study was conducted to determine the degree of respiratory and visual protection given to the female crewmember by various crew oxygen mask/goggle combinations. The acceptance criteria for the mask/goggle combinations were for 10 of 12 tests subjects to maintain a contaminant ratio of 0.05 or less in the oxygen mask and/or simultaneously 0.1 or less in the goggle while wearing eyeglasses. Of the 23 mask/goggle combinations tested with female subjects, 8 failed to meet the acceptance criteria for adequate protection. Comparison tests on anthropometric data from male and female subjects suggest that the failures may be due in part to size differences in cranial and facial dimensions.

AB - In studies of the 1974-76 accident experience of U.S. general aviation pilots with static physical defects, all the significantly increased rates and ratios were for visual defect categories--blindness or absence of either eye, deficient distant vision, deficient color vision with no operational limitations, and contact lenses. A 1979 study was limited to accident airmen with 19 visual deficiencies. The 1,140 pilots with aphakia and 173 with artificial lens implants had significantly higher rates, but the monocular pilots and contact lens users did not. The present study examined the 1980-81 accident experience of 4,169 monocular pilots, 1,299 with amblyopia, 969 with aphakia, 285 with lens implants, 118 with a history of diplopia, 1,269 with a tropia, 2,601 with hyperphoria more than 1 diopter, and 2,711 with esophoria or exophoria more than 6 diopters by class of medical certificate held. Numbers were too small for statistical treatment, but first and second class medical certificate holders, who often have more accidents per 1,000 airmen, consistently had progressively lower accident rates per 100,000 hours. They fly more. Monocular, aphakic, lens implant, and amblyopic accident airmen had higher accident rates than did the total airman population. Bases were found to question the value and adequacy of phoria and field of vision testing.

AB - Guidance is provided on the use of the standardised International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) method designed to evaluate airport pavement strength. The method applies only to pavements with bearing strengths of 5700kg and above. The method of reporting pavement strength for pavements of under 5700kg bearing strength remains unchanged. Using the standardised method described it is possible to express the effect of individual aircraft on different pavements by the aircraft classification number (ACN) while the load carrying capacity of a pavement can be expressed by the pavement classification number (PCN). The system is structured so that a pavement with a particular PCN value can support, without weight restrictions, an aircraft which has an ACN value equal to, or less than, the pavement's PCN value. The report details methods of determining ACN and PCN values.

AB - The conclusions of this study are: the anticipated excess of sulphur has not materialized and may not materialize in the near future. The price of sulphur is much too high, except in localized areas, to be an economical substitute for asphalt. Those installations of SEA in place perform as well as conventional asphalt paving and no particular advantage has been noted. However, these installations have not been in place long enough to give an indication of long or short life and continued monitoring is needed. It is recommended that two applications of SEA be investigated: The use of SEA for airport apron pavement where fuel spillage is a problem. This use has been investigated only briefly at the Corps of Engineers Waterway Experiment Station and no data is available. The use of SEA as a binding agent for porous friction courses (PFC). Because of the higher stability of AEA, its use in PFC could solve the problem of ravelling and loss of bond of this type surface treatment.

AB - The Radar Training Facility (RTF), part of the Federal Aviation Administration Academy, is designed to identify, as early as possible, air traffic control specialists (ATCS) who do not demonstrate sufficient potential to perform at radar tasks at the journeyman level. An extensive initial validation effort involving design evaluation, implementation evaluation and formative evaluation was performed to determine if the system was adequately designed from an educational point of view, if the measures employed were reliable, if the program had a proper concurrent relationship with nonradar Academy measures, and if the difficulty level was appropriate. While the program was not pass/fail during the study, a score of less than 70 was used to calculate experimental pass/fail rates. Data from the initial validation effort indicated that the system was educationally sufficient, reliabilities were low to moderate, the RTF program had a proper concurrent relationship with nonradar measures, and the difficulty level was approximately correct. Information from data collected appeared to be asymptotic, and it was recommended that the program could begin pass/fail. The data for this study were collected prior to the air traffic control specialist's strike. Following the strike, the Academy radar phase was sequenced out of the basic training curriculum to a later point (after the developmental ATCS had successfully checked out at the field facility in a nonradar position). Since the data were collected while the Academy radar phase immediately followed the Academy nonradar phase, application of these results from basic trainees to ATCS developmentals with several months of field experience should be done with this consideration in mind.

AB - The current air traffic control specialist (ATC) selection procedure requires that all applicants pass the Office of Personnel Management air traffic control aptitude test. In addition to the test scores, applicants may also receive points for certain types of aviation-related prior experience or substitute college-level education in lieu of general experience requirements. The Civil Aeromedical Institute has had a long-standing involvement in efforts to update and improve ATCS selection procedures. As part of this continuing task, all incoming ATCS students are given an opportunity to voluntarily take a battery of research tests upon arrival at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy for basic training. Included in this battery is a biographical questionnaire (BQ) designed to elicit responses about background experiences, including high school education and activities, college education, military experience and pre-FAA ATC experience. After a new pass/fail training program was implemented at the Academy in 1976, biographical data on trainees were examined to determine the relationship between biographic variables and Academy success rates. A new set of 21 questions was added to the BQ in May 1980, and responses to the revised BQ were analyzed to determine the underlying factor structure of the questionnaire and the relationship of those factors to success or failure at the Academy. Further research examined the relationship between various types of military experience and performance at the Academy.

EVALUATION OF THERMAL DEGRADATION PRODUCTS FROM AIRCRAFT AND AUTOMOBILE ENGINE OILS, AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC FLUID, AND MINERAL OIL PY - 1983/04 SP - 16 p. AB - A malfunctioning seal in the gear-reduction box of a turboprop aircraft engine could allow oil to enter the turbine's compressor section, which is the source of bleed air used to pressurize the cabin. Oil, or its degradation products, could have a deleterious effect on crew and passengers. A series of tests sponsored by the National Transportation Safety Board had examined the possibility that contaminated bleed air might contain toxic products identifiable by chemical analysis, but none of the gases for which they analyzed were present in toxic concentrations. However, the approach did not eliminate the possible presence of an additional component with significant animal toxicity. The research reported here examined the toxicity of thermal degradation products from aircraft lubricating oils and some related products. Rats were exposed to smoke from these products and relative toxicity evaluated in terms of time-to-incapacitation and time-to-death. The carbon monoxide (CO) content of the smoke was measured and this information, in conjunction with the animal response times, was the basis for concluding that the decomposition of these oils did not produce any chemical species, other than CO, in quantities sufficient to contribute to the total toxicity.

Much field experimentation on expedient types of pavements is in progress by some Federal and State agencies, but a theoretical base has not yet been developed for predicting performance. It is shown that well developed specifications exist for membrane encapsulated soil layer systems, but none exists for sand-filled cellular systems. Present experimentation points to certain problems that must be corrected before sand-filled systems can be used for civil aircraft pavements. Recommendations are offered that could provide a predictive methodology.

AB - At the request of the (then) Airway Facilities Service (AAF), AF personnel were asked to respond to questions concerning their attitudes toward a proposed New Maintenance Concept (NMC). Questionnaires were sent to all (11,569) AF personnel; a return rate of 61.7% was obtained. Overall, employee awareness of the proposed changes was limited; only 18% indicated that they possessed "considerable" to "a great deal" of information concerning the changes. As a general reaction to the NMC, 43% expressed some degree of acceptance, 31% were undecided and 26% expressed some degree of rejection. Aspects of the proposal that involved a shift to solid state equipment along with associated changes in specialization and knowledge, a proposed reduction in routine maintenance, automated recordkeeping and a reduction in watchstanding produced highly positive responses. Least favorable responses were for plans to reduce the number of remote facilities and relocate personnel in more centralized work hubs. Analyses suggest several variables of utility in predicting overall response to the NMC. A major factor was the employee's position in the work force. Relatively more negative attitudes were expressed by nonsupervisory personnel and by: those who expressed general dissatisfaction with their jobs, supervision and management; those who had been in their positions for longer periods of time; and those who reported greater anxiety and stress on the job. Management should be aware that its attitudes toward proposed changes are not necessarily shared by individuals at the lower levels. The role of communication in promoting change within the organization is discussed.

AB - This fifth and final report dealing with the design and construction of longitudinal joints in slip-formed concrete pavements presents a summary of findings from tests conducted at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Tests performed include nondestructive tests performed with several types of vibrator and impulse loading devices, and loading with commercial aircraft. Pavement responses under the various loading conditions were measured using the geophones normally used with the NDT type equipment, and with deflection gages and strain meters installed in the pavement slabs. In these tests particular emphasis was placed on measuring the load transfer efficiency across transverse and longitudinal joints and the effect of load transfer efficiency on the behavior of the pavement system. Results from these tests clearly show the importance of load transfer on certain types of distress in concrete pavements, as loss of load transfer efficiency can lead directly to corner breaks and pavement faulting.

Grooves are usually cut by diamond-tipped rotatory blades; square grooves of 1/4-inch size are widely used. Other surface treatments include grooving by a reflex-percussive cutting process, grooving while the concrete is in plastic state, and the porous friction overlays. Grooving in plastic state is limited to portland cement concrete runways only while the other treatments can be applied to both the portland cement concrete and the asphaltic concrete surfaces. The effectiveness of some of these treatments has not been evaluated on asphaltic concrete surfaces prior to the initiation of this study. This report describes an experimental program that investigated the braking and hydroplaning performance of an aircraft tire on asphaltic concrete surfaces having various treatments. The tests were conducted on a dynamic track in the speed range of 70 to 150 knots, and under other operating conditions whose magnitudes represented values widely used by airlines or aircraft. The results show that the type of surface treatment has a significant influence on the braking performance of an aircraft tire on "puddled" runways. Grooves at closure spacings provide higher friction levels. When the runways are "wet" or "flooded" the braking capability on all surfaces is either very high or very low, respectively. The braking performance on the reflex-percussive grooves, the porous friction overlay, and the saw-cut grooves spaced at 3 inches is comparable.

AB - The effects of smoking withdrawal on complex (time-shared) performance and physiological responses were studied at a simulated aircraft cabin altitude of 6,500 ft. Seventeen habitual smokers, nine women and eight men, served as subjects. Time-shared performance of monitoring, tracking, mental arithmetic and problem solving tasks was measured by the Civil Aeromedical Institute Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB) in two 4-hour test sessions, one in which smoking was permitted at 1/2-h intervals and a no-smoking session. Corollary physiological measurements involved urinary hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine and 17-ketogenic steroids), carboxyhemoglobin levels and heart rate. Overall composite scores for MTPB performance revealed decrements during withdrawal which were statistically significant beginning at the third 1/2-h period of withdrawal sessions. The principal sources of the withdrawal effect were a significant decrement in tracking and a tendency toward longer reaction times in one monitoring task during withdrawal. These performance decrements were associated with significantly lower heart rate and lower ratings of attentiveness during withdrawal from smoking. These findings support a cautious approach to the prohibition of smoking on the flight deck for aircrew members.

AB - A variety of measurements are sensitive to alcoholism; some may be applicable to screening programs, but more precise knowledge of sensitivity and specificity would help to select a minimal test battery. This study assessed the sensitivity of some tests for alcoholism to a single drinking episode. Fifteen nonalcoholic men participated. On one evening, they drank ethanol, raising their blood alcohol concentrations to 100-200 mg/dL for at least 2 hours. At 0700 on the next morning, after 7 hours of sleep, they ate breakfast, then completed a battery of performance tests. Blood samples were drawn at 0730 and 1130. The effects of alcohol, estimated by comparison of data with those obtained on another morning of the same week after an evening of abstinence, are summarized: heart rate, during sleep and the next morning was higher; blood pressure was unaffected. There was no effect on core body temperature. The urinary excretion rates of catecholamines and ketogenic adrenal steroids were augmented by alcohol. The drug did not affect blood levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, high density lipid or total cholesterol, or uric acid. Performance tests affected by alcohol were number comparison, number addition, analysis of complex statements and adaptability (from an air traffic controller selection battery). Tests not affected were abstract reasoning, digit code, digit symbol, short-term memory, hand steadiness, pursuit tracking, rod-and-frame and 100-hue color sorting. The mechanisms of the alcohol effects are unknown but the possible influence of low blood alcohol concentrations present during the test period cannot be ruled out.

AB - A non-contact, non-destructive method is described that allows the user to measure pavement texture and loaded and unloaded profiles from a moving vehicle. The device uses laser distance measuring gages. The gages are arranged such that their readings can be interpreted to give the loaded and unloaded pavement profiles and a measure of its texture. Four gages are mounted on a rigid beam that, in turn, is mounted on the side of a load vehicle. The gages read the distance to the pavement. Three of the gages are located outside the range of influence of the load wheel, and hence the pavement below these gages is undeflected. One of the gages is adjacent to the load wheel to measure the induced deflection. An algorithm is presented that relates all measurements to a common datum. The three gages yield readings that are interpreted to give the profile (do the surveying). The gages make so many readings and so quickly, that the standard deviation of the readings, taken over a short time period, gives a measure of the texture. A prototype device was constructed and tested. The results were--1. Pavement profiles were calculated using the new system. These compare favorably, though not completely, with the transit surveys. 2. Standard deviations were recorded. These readings were taken over concrete, asphalt and porous friction surface pavements. Differences were noted between the textures of concrete (smooth) and asphalt (rough) pavements. No correlation between this measure and standard measures was made. 3. The deflections caused by prototype loads were measured and recorded. This was done from the load vehicle, while the vehicle was moving across a pavement at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The scheme for obtaining the resulting deflections is described in detail. An algorithm for accomodating the misalignment of the laser gages on the rigid beam is also presented. Suggestions are offered for improving the system.

AB - Current Office of Personnel Management policy and guidance requires demonstrated job-relatedness and reasonable accommodation in the application of physical qualifications. The OPM has accomplished an analysis of the air traffic control specialist (ATCS) series and recommended development of functional color vision tests to reflect as closely as possible the functional color vision requirements of the specialty. If the pseudoisochromatic plate (PIP) test is retained for prescreening to identify applicants for whom follow-up functional performance testing or reasonable accommodation is necessary, its use also must be standardized. This research is directed toward accomplishment of those recommendations. A standard PIP test was validated against performance of ATCS tasks, and it demonstrated job relatedness and reasonable accommodation for application of physical qualification standards. A functional color vision test was created, but further development and validation would be needed before its operational use, and procurement would be very costly as compared to the standard PIP tests that are readily available to medical examiners.

AB - Observations on the airline pilot group probably come as close to a true reflection of incidence of disqualifying diseases as is possible to observe. Prescreening by airline companies before employment and the stringent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for issuance of a first-class medical certificate result in this group being essentially purged of disease prevalence that contributes to higher rates for other groups. Also, because of occupational/economic reasons, these individuals are less likely to voluntarily remove themselves from follow-up observation for known medical conditions that would preclude FAA medical certification. Conversely, voluntary attrition is a more frequent occurrence among non-occupationally connected pilots who recognize that they are not medically qualified and therefore are never heard from again by the FAA. Age-specific denial rates for airline pilots increase to the highest rate at age interval 55-59 years old. The most significant causes for denial are cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, and the miscellaneous category. The importance of these causes for denial, particularly above age 45, is again recognized. Age-cause-specific findings for the airline pilot group follow epidemiologic expectations, with age being a significant variable associated with increased rates. Of interest in the data on denial by employer is that the larger employers, many of which have their own medical facilities, have uniformly lower denial rates than smaller employers.

AB - Student pilots sometimes experience motion sickness early in their flight training and drug remedies may be prescribed for dual flights. Moreover, prescriptions are not required for some motion sickness preventives. In addition, business associates or spouses often accompany private pilots on flying trips; some of these passengers, who may be required to pilot the aircraft in an emergency, use antimotion sickness drugs. While the basic efficacy of such drugs is rooted in the reduction of motion sickness symptoms, adverse side effects are important practical considerations of their usage in aviation. The two studies reported here examined the influence of three antimotion sickness drugs on tracking performance in static (stationary) and dynamic (angular acceleration) conditions and on visual fixation ability during motion. In the first study, 40 young men were randomly assigned in equal numbers to a control (lactose placebo), dimenhydrinate (50 mg), promethazine hydrochloride (25 mg), or mixture (25 mg promethazine plus 10 mg d-amphetamine) group. The second study used 30 new subjects equally divided into control, dimenhydrinate (100 mg) and promethazine (50 mg) groups. Following practice, tests were conducted prior to 1, 2, and 4 hours after drug ingestion. The depressant drugs had little effect on static tracking, but impaired dynamic tracking performance and reduced ability to maintain visual fixation on a localizer/glide slope instrument due to increase ocular nystagmus. The mixture of promethazine and d-amphetamine produced none of these deleterious effects.

AB - This report presents some historical perspective of aerobatics and the physiological effects of gravitational (G) acceleration, especially as it pertains to in-flight loss of consciousness (LOC) by the pilot. Several accidents and incidents are reviewed to illustrate that LOC occurs in some pilots during aerobatic maneuvers. Accelerometer recordings made during aerobatic performances are analyzed in regard to the G's acting on the pilot during the entire performance and during some specific maneuvers. Human tolerance to G's and specifically to changes from positive to negative G's and vice versa is discussed in regard to some published animal and human studies. This report suggests that oscillating G's as encountered in aerobatics tax the body's mechanism to maintain blood perfusion of the brain and consciousness. Suggestions are given to help pilots reduce the physiological hazards of G's encountered in aerobatics.

AB - The application of aviation medicine is relatively standardized throughout the world, both in civil and military operations. Substantial differences exist, however, in the way different countries, or even different agencies in the same country, determine the medical qualifications of persons who wish to operate aircraft. As a rule, the medical certification policies of the Federal Aviation Administration are more liberal than those imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense and by many foreign countries. Understanding the reasons for these differences requires an awareness of the characteristics of FAA's regulatory policy. Specifically, three aspects of that policy should be considered: (1) the certification system and its overall effects; (2) the philosophy of medical certification and standards; and (3) the limitations of the system. In considering system limitations, the manner in which new regulations are developed, the empirical origins of the regulations, their brevity, the need for documentation and education were considered. While incapacitation is of primary concern to safety, promotion of aviation leads to other considerations, including individual rights, differing responsibilities and levels of concern.

AB - Ten years of research on physiological stress in air traffic control specialists (ATCS's) is reviewed. Data were derived from 20 tasks involving the experimental variables of workload, shift-rotation patterns and automating. Field studies were carried out at air traffic control towers, air route traffic control centers and flight service stations at 11 locations throughout the country. Laboratory studies consisted of a survey of the quantity and quality of sleep in working ATCSs, a restudy of ATCSs several years after the first study to appraise stress change, and experimental attempts to evoke a differential response to two different qualities of stress. Stress was distinctly related to imposed workload as well as to working conditions. Differences in stress levels in ATCSs on different shift-rotation patterns were minimal. Automation gave rise to increased total stress accounted for by an increased workload incident to the changeover period from manual to computerized control techniques. A stress index was developed to facilitate comparison of physiological stress at different air traffic control facilities and among ATCSs. Anxiety level measurements vary minimally from facility to facility, indicating little impact of air traffic control work on the psychological state of ATCSs. These and other measures show that it is clearly inappropriate to describe air traffic control work, as is commonly done in the popular press, as being unusually stressful.

AB - Methods of determining the frost susceptibility of soils are identified and presented in this report. More than one hundred criteria were found, the most common based on particle size characteristics. These particle size criteria are frequently augmented by information such as grain size distribution, uniformity coefficients and Atterberg limits. Information on permeability, mineralogy and soil classification has also been used. More complex methods requiring pore size distribution, mositure-tension, hydraulic-conductivity, heave-stress, and frost-heave tests have also been proposed. However, none has proven to be the universal test for determining the frost susceptibility of soils. Based on this survey, four methods are proposed for further study. They are the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Frost Susceptibility Classification System, the moisture-tension hydraulic-conductivity test, a new frost-heave test, and the CBR-after-thaw test.

PART 1: SMOKE PY - 1982/07 SP - 54 p. AB - An extensive review is presented demonstrating the nature of comparison between full-scale fire smoke data and test method results for materials. These correlations are presented in terms of consistent parameters established through a development of the governing equations for smoke concentration and light attenuation. Visibility data pertaining to light transmission through smoke is presented but no general results exist on the sensory irritant effect of smoke on vision. Analysis shows the complex dependence of smoke production on many parameters acting in fire growth and shows the futility and nature of simple correlation attempts. Recommendations are made for further research to establish a sounder basis for correlations, and a practical strategy is suggested for proceeding in the present.

VOLUME IV. WAKE VORTEX DECAY PY - 1982/07 SP - 203 p. AB - A Monostatic Acoustic Vortex Sensing System (MAVSS) was installed at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to measure the strength and decay of aircraft wake vortices from landing aircraft. The MAVSS consists of an array of acoustic antennas which measure the vertical profile up to 60-m altitude of the vertical component of the wind. The decay in wake vortex strength is measured as the vortex passes over successive antennas in the array. Volume I (published in October 1979, 32 pages) described the MAVSS principles of operation, the hardware developed, and the data reduction methods employed. Volume II (published in September 1981, 162 pages) described the analysis of MAVSS data to examine whether landing B-707 and DC-8 aircraft need to remain divided into Heavy and Large categories on the basis of the wake vortex hazard. Volume III (published in January 1982, 25 pages) summarized the results of Volume II in terms of the safety implications of categorizing all landing B-707s and DC-8s as Large aircraft. In this volume, the statistical methods used to understand wake vortex decay are described and the data on all common jet transport aircraft are presented.

In 1979, the Technical Center undertook an extensive effort to upgrade the Utterance Recognition Device (URD) in preparation for testing the capabilities of voice input for automatic flight plan filing. The URD was modified to include more reliable components, where advisable, and a larger memory to handle the expanded vocabulary. In addition, a dialect study was conducted to determine the locations for collecting a nationally representative voice sample in order to create reference patterns capable of performing well on all American dialects. Subsequently, over 5,000 voices from 24 cities throughout the United States were collected and processed.

AB - A selection of commercial aircraft airframe fuel systems has been studied to determine areas where incompatibility with antimisting kerosene fuel (AMK) may exist. Incompatibility can be due to reduced fuel system component performance with AMK or shear degradation of the AMK by the fuel system components. Survey results, to date, indicate that potential component performance problems with AMK are more significant than loss of AMK flammability protection due to shear degradation. Components of interest include ejector pumps, fuel filters, and auxiliary power units.

AB - The analysis for each aircraft addressed the potential of interference from adjacent-signal and out-of-band transmitters. Adjacent-signal transmitters aboard the four aircraft configurations consisted of Distance Measuring Equipment interrogators, Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System transponders, Mode S transponders, and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System interrogators. The out-of-band transmitters included HF, VHF, and UHF communications equipment. The electromagnetic compatibility aspects of the GPS receiver that were examined included burnout and saturation of the limiting diode in the receiver front end, interference to signal acquisition, and interference to signal code and carrier tracking. Only radiated interference coupled from the transmit antenna to the receive antenna was examined in this analysis. Conducted interference was not considered. For the specific configurations analyzed, no potential instances of burnout or saturation of the limiting diode due to signals from individual or multiple on-board transmitters were identified. For the specific configurations analyzed, no potential instances were identified in which the interfering signal from an individual on-board transmitter exceeded the GPS interference thresholds. For the specific configurations analyzed, one potential instance was identified in which the composite interfering signal from multiple on-board transmitters exceeded the GPS interference threshold for C/A signal acquisition. Alternative actions were recommended to preclude the occurrence of interference to the GPS receiver.

AB - A series of flight tests were conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center to compare the range and azimuth resolution capabilities of the Mode S (formerly the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS)), in the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon /System (ATCRBS) mode, to an existing Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) III. The minimum achievable range and azimuth separation of two aircraft, without garbling of either aircraft's A-Code, was determined for both systems. The resolution results were compared to positional aircraft separation data, collected concurrently by a precision Range Instrumentation System, to determine the relationship between A-Code garbling and aircraft separation. The flight test results indicate that the 89 percent beacon resolution achieved the correlated-only Mode S sensor has the best overall resolution in the aircraft separation intervals of 0 deg to 2 deg in azimuth and o to 10,000 feet in range. The combined correlated and uncorrelated Mode S reports were 80 percent resolved, whereas, the ARTS reports for the same aircraft separation intervals were 62 percent resolved. The minimum achievable range separation, without garbling, was approximately 10,000 feet for both systems. The azimuth separation was 2 deg for the Mode S system and 3.2 for the ARTS system.

The improved signal processing techniques considered explicitly assume that interfering signals may be present and estimate the interference parameters (e.g., power and angle of arrival) as well as the desired signal parameters.

AB - An investigation was made of the General Electric F101 augmentor fuel pump to perform as a degrader of AMK fuel. The test plan specified the pump be run at three power conditions in four separate tests. Test 1 was run utilizing Jet-A fuel to calibrate system parameters and set fuel rates at idle (1200 pounds per hour), cruise (5500 pph) and takeoff (16000 pph). Test 2 utilized AMK fuel at the same fuel flow rates as were used for Jet-A fuel, the pump being in its standard configuration. Tests 3 and 4 utilized AMK fuel at the same conditions, however, the pump was successively modified to enhance AMK degradation. Fuel samples were taken at the pump inlet and discharge. Pump inlet and discharge pressures and temperatures were monitored. Special sampling procedures were utilized to prevent the inadvertent degradation of the AMK fuel during the sampling process. Very high degradation levels of the AMK fuel was achieved at the cruise power condition for all three pump configurations. Somewhat reduced degradation levels were achieved at the idle and takeoff modes depending upon which pump configuration was being tested. Further testing was conducted to try to enhance degradation at the idle mode in the standard pump configuration. These results showed very high levels of degradation when the pump speed was increased by 12 percent.

For a wide range of algorithms, including those most likely to be of interest, there are no technological factors which would significantly impact the choice of algorithms given the present state of computer technology. Further, within the next few years, technological advances will totally eliminate memory and computational tracking requirements from significantly impacting system design. It is concluded that the only substantive limitation currently imposed on the selection of tracking algorithms is the ability of the system designer to analyze, specify, test, and evaluate the most promising algorithm.

AB - This study, the fourth in a series having evolved from a study of independent altitude monitor requirements and alerting system criteria, has developed a set of substantiated guidelines for the design of aircraft alerting systems. In the course of this work, the FAA concluded that a system which went beyond the function of an alerting system might be useful. The study was extended to examine the question as to whether a system could function as a monitor of flight safety, a system that could aid the pilots in resolving problems and contribute to reducing the number of future accidents. The study established the feasibility of the concept of complementing the alerting system with a computer to perform the flight phase status monitor function.

AB - The feasibility of using measurements of aircraft radial velocity to improve the performance of the en route tracking algorithm in the present computational environment was examined. Radial velocity can be measured with equipment which is part of the Moving Target Detector (MTD) radar, a new type of search radar. Particular attention is paid in this report to the utilization of radial velocity in reducing speed and heading biases that occur during maneuvers. The performance of the tracking and Conflict Alert algorithms is evaluated on five maneuver detection/observation methods, including the present method. Using both standard and track-oriented parameters yields a total of ten different analyses. A simplified simulation program produces quantitative data. Because the computational resources available for tracking algorithm modifications are limited, consideration of possible applications of radial velocity measurements is restricted to simple algorithm changes. Two aspects of performance are measured: the warning time to a hazardous situation, and the nuisance alert area, a recently developed measure of the false alarm performance of the algorithms. It was concluded that the use of the radial velocity data was not justified in the present systems givent the limited computer resources available. The practically of using radial velocity data in the more extensive system of the future is briefly considered.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION PY - 1982/06 SP - 57 p. AB - Version 3 of the Dayton Aircraft cabin Fire Model (DACFIR) has been created as a refinement and generalization of earlier mathematical models for the computer simulation of fire growth in the cabin of a commercial transport airplane. The model uses data from laboratory tests on the cabin furnishing materials and a zone (control volume) representation of the cabin atmosphere to predict the accumulation of heat, smoke, and gases resulting from arbitrary ignition sources specified in the program input. The major improvements included in Version 3 are a revised cabin atmosphere model which allows for multiple compartments and the prescribed entry of exterior fire gases, and an implicit numerical integration technique for the atmosphere equations. Volume I of this report contains a full description of the model's predictions to the results of three full-scale cabin fire tests. Volume II consists of appendices which include a user's guide and listing of the computer code.

VOLUME 1 PY - 1982/06 SP - 98 p. AB - The evaluation experiment was conducted using three groups. The experimental group received a written pretest, judgment ground and flight training, a written posttest, and an observation flight at the completion of the training. The flight control group received only the post-training observation flight. The academic control group received the written pretest and posttest along with the experimental group. The resulting data indicated statistically significant differences between the performance of experimental and control group subjects. This was true both in acquisition of judgment concepts as measured by written tests and in the skills performance as measured during the observation flights. Two limitations to the judgment program's generalizability are the relative homogenity of the subjects and the compressed nature of the training time utilized. The associated volumes of the document are Volume II - Student Manual, and Volume III-Instructor Manual.

VOLUME IV. APPENDIX A. ALSIM AUXILIARY AND MAIN PROGRAMS PY - 1982/06 SP - 279 p. AB - This Appendix describes the Program Logic of the Airport Landside Simulation Model (ALSIM) AUXILIARY and MAIN Programs. Both programs are written in GPSS-V. The AUXILIARY program is operated prior to the MAIN Program to create GPSS transactions representing Enplaning Passenger groups from the input flight schedule. The transactions are written on a JOBTAPE file for subsequent use by the MAIN program. The MAIN Program creates greeter and deplaning passenger transactions and enacts the movements of all passengers and visitors through the landside.

VOLUME I. PLANNING GUIDE PY - 1982/06 SP - 78 p. AB - This volume describes a methodology for performing airport landside planning by applying the Airport Landside Simulation Model (ALSIM) developed by TSC. For this analysis, the airport landside is defined as extending from the airport boundary to the aircraft gate. The model routes simulated enplaning and deplaning passenger groups through a series of essential processing facilities. At the simulated facilities, queueing and service processes are modeled. Flow, queueing time, queue length, and occupancy statistics are produced. This guide describes how the model output may be applied to a landside capacity analysis. It also discusses using the model for management of daily operations and airport design. A description of input data necessary for model operation is presented with examples using data from Miami, Denver, and La Guardia airports.

VOLUME III. ALSIM CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION PY - 1982/06 SP - 209 p. AB - This volume discusses calibration and validation procedures applied to the Airport Landside Simulation Model (ALSIM), using data obtained at Miami, Denver and LaGuardia Airports. Criteria for the selection of a validation methodology are described. The chosen methodology consists of two parts: (1) plotted comparisons of ALSIM output and corresponding field data; and (2) a hypothesis test based upon the probability of occurrence of field data within two simulated standard deviations of the simulated mean at each time point. Five simulation runs with different random number streams were used to produce time series of flow and queue length data at landside processors selected for comparison. Mean values and standard deviations were obtained at each time point for plotted and statistical comparison. Results are displayed in this volume. Satisfactory results were obtained at security stations, parking facility exits, customs and immigration. Ticket counter and curbside facilities failed to display good agreement. Gates, bagclaim areas and car rental counters were not compared for reasons specified in the report.

VOLUME V. APPENDIX B. ALSIM SUBROUTINES PY - 1982/06 SP - 321 p. AB - This Appendix describes the operation of ten subroutines used to support the AUXILIARY and MAIN programs of ALSIM. Flow charts and listings of all programs are provided. The major portion describes the FORTRAN subprogram FORTM which is used to read input data, assign values to matrix elements, perform matrix searches and assign parameters to GPSS transactions during simulation model execution. Six other subroutines, mostly written in IBM System/370 Assembly Language, are used in the initialization phase of the simulation to link FORTM to the MAIN program and to provide an in-core read and write capability. Two additional assembly language subroutines and a FORTRAN subroutine are used during simulation of the airport landside. The first assembly language subroutine assigns the number of passenger bags to be retrieved by the deplaning passenger transaction and generates random numbers to simulate waiting times at the bag claim facility. The second subroutine performs the same function as ASSIGN and LOGIC blocks of GPSS, but is FORTRAN callable. The FORTRAN subroutine of this group detects argument errors of the previous subroutine and prints error messages.

AB - Several avionics manufacturers have announced plans to produce electronic flight instrument systems (EFIS) for general aviation aircraft. In recognition of the need for information concerning the impact of these new systems on pilot performance, the FAA has initiated a two-phased research program devoted to planning and conducting exploratory evaluations that will assess the ability of general aviation pilots to operate EFIS-equipped aircraft. The results of the first phase of this project are presented in this report. The objectives of this phase were to determine the specific goals of the exploratory evaluations and to develop general guidance--i.e., a conceptual approach--for their conduct. The conceptual approach is described in terms of (1) the information needed from the planned evaluations, (2) the general design of the overall study, (3) requirements for the performance measurement systems that would be employed to collect data and for the analysis of that data, (4) requirements for test facilities and equipment, and (5) procedures for selecting and training evaluation subjects. While the conceptual approach that was developed is specific to the planned research, it is discussed and described in general terms to increase its utility as general guidance for planning evaluations of pilot performance.

AB - In a recent series of papers, Gerathewohl reviewed several mathematical procedures employed in efforts to develop a functional age index. The purpose of the present study was to apply mathematical procedures to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot medical data to examine the feasibility of devising a linear numbering system such that (1) the cumulative probability distribution functions (CPDF) for persons who are not diagnosed as having an acute pathology are lower on the scale than those diagnosed as having an acute pathology; and (2) the CDPF's for both groups overlap minimally. FAA pilot records were employed in a series of two group discriminant function analyses. The first group consisted of records where no pathology was listed. The second group consisted of records where a cardiovascular, cerebrovascular or diabetic pathology was listed. The analyses presented some pertinent results. Age is not as accurate in discriminating between the sudden incapacitating pathology and nonpathology groups as the linear discriminant composite. As age increase from post-50, to post-55, to post-60, classification accuracy using the discriminant index increase monotonically. Better measures that predict these pathologies with more accuracy would further separate the CPDF's of the pathology and nonpathology groups. Based on these results, a possible strategy for future study on pilot certification is discussed.

AB - To limit radiation exposure in passenger aircraft, the Department of Transportation requires operators of such aircraft to exercise special control over packages of radioactive material bearing a "radioactive yellow" label. The degree of control is based on a number called the transport index that is assigned by the shipper and shown on the label. The regulations prescribe minimum separation distances between radioactive cargo and spaces occupied by people or animals. These distances are a function of the sum of the transport indexes of the radioactive cargo. Where an approved system of predesignated areas is in use, the minimum distance between areas where radioactive cargo may be stowed is also prescribed. This handbook contains figures that show, for most types of air carrier aircraft, the cargo compartment dimensions, distances between cargo compartments, and distances between cargo compartments and overhead passenger compartments. It contains charts that show the maximum allowable sum of transport indexes for a cargo area as related to: (1) the height of the tallest package with a "radioactive yellow" label in the area; and (2) the distance between the cargo floor and the passenger floor. It also contains charts for use with a system of predesignated areas that include the distance between predesignated areas as well as items 1 and 2 above. Solved problems are provided as a teaching aid to facilitate use of the figures and charts in determining the transport index limit for individual cargo areas and for an entire aircraft. The material in this handbook will be useful to Federal Aviation Administration inspectors and to airline personnel.
