Hi Justin, Like what you mentioned, motion sickness is one of the challenges for people working in aviation industry. I heard about not only people in pilot training but also working as flight attendants have encountered the problems like this. We used to think this is a genetic problem which is unchangeable. However, thanks to technic and experiences from others, the most effective way to change is making yourself accustoming the environment, which is flying more. Also, I’ve learned about that by tracking your life style and keeping mental record could help to identify and evaluate your fitness for flying. I also read an article about how anxiety assessment could help collegiate pilot trainees to reduce their pressure during checkride and written test from FAA, which is the similar approach you did to deal with your motion sickness problem. Great post and thank you ? References, Sloan, T. A., Lundin, M., Wilson, D., & Robinnette, R. (2010).

I appreciate you sharing your experience, which inspires me to think about if there’s any similarity between civil aviation training and military aviation training. I’ve never heard about the idea of OODA loop, however in general aviation training we do have similar ideas in Pilot’s Handbook in Aeronautical Knowledge Chapter 2 (FAA, n. d.) such as 3P’s model (Perceive, Process, Perform) and DECIDE (Detect the problem, Estimate the need to react, Choose a course of action, Identify solutions, Do the necessary actions, Evaluate the effect of the action) model while doing immediately Aeronautical Decision Making(ADM). I agree you said that Problem- Solving Process is designed for formal research. The decision making processes we both mentioned about are designed for instant action taken. Thanks for sharing this great experience and the knowledge! Pauline Lai References, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. (n.d.).

However, we also could understand that under those 1

intense situations could cause us couldn’t react directly. Although practicing could make things perfect, perfect doesn’t exist. At very beginning of my flight training, I always wonder why there are tons of acronyms in aviation training. The actual timing I realized this technics really working well was when I was on my last cross-country solo in private pilot training. I was inexperienced and for the last of three airport I had to land, the weather was tricky in Texas. ATC knew I was a student pilot so he kindly reminded me that the wind might have exceeded my personal minimum. At that time I was stressed out and desperate to finish my pilot training. Suddenly the idea came to my mind was “DECIDE” model for aeronautical decision making, which is Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do and Evaluate. I detected by the noticing of ATC. Wind at that day even exceed my personal minimum, it was mostly headwind. Estimated I had practiced this weather situation with my instructor before, and choose to execute this landing. Difference between Problem-Solving Process and process of my personal experience In my opinion, although those two processes are almost them same at some steps, there are different purposes for “DECIDE” model and problem-solving process. For “DECIDE” model, it’s utilized in such stressful circumstance, which makes the instant respond by decision maker important. The acronym method really helps you as an approach to arouse your knowledge, and force yourself calm down to cope the situation immediately. Both of the methods have their pros and cons, and it really depends if we can apply them in appropriate position. Applying Problem Solving to Aviation For problem solving process applying in aviation field, it might be more suitable for those preventing action. The nine steps processing is thoroughly but also time consuming, which 2

would be better if it could be utilized in less argent situation such as Safety Management System (SMS) of pre-active decision. Reflection on Assignment For this week’s assignment, I chose the article “The Use of Test Anxiety Assessment and Anxiety Reduction Training to Predict and Improve Performance of Collegiate Pilot Trainees”, which is about test anxiety effect pilot trainees’ performance and how test anxiety workshop could help them achieve better score or pass rate on those FAA tests. The outcome of this study shows positive correlation between FAA written test and Test Anxiety workshop. However, the writers also mentioned it would be more accurate if they could do longitudinal study. By taking more and more tests, pilot trainees might get used to those highly intense situations and develop a better strategy to cope with test anxiety.
