May 2011 Ethical Issues in Aviation Edited by Elizabeth A. Hoppe , Lewis University, USA

‘Ethical Issues in Aviation is an innovative and thought provoking book that explores an important, but heretofore, neglected area of research. While the study of ethics has been applied in numerous other industries, its application to aviation is long overdue. For those who study aviation, this book is sure to provide multiple new perspectives on familiar issues. It was a treat to read about the business of aviation, safety, diversity, airport development, and environmental issues through an ethical lens.’ Andrew R. Goetz, University of Denver, USA • Opens up a new area of applied ethics, comprehensively addressing the ethical issues confronting the civil aviation industry. • Combines a theoretical framework with ethical concerns from the workplace. Applied ethics has been gaining wide attention in a variety of curricula, and there is growing awareness of the need for ethical training in general. Well-publicized ethical problems such as the Challenger disaster, the Ford Pinto case and the collapse of corporations such as Enron have highlighted the need to rethink the role of ethics in the workplace. The concept of applied ethics originated in medicine with a groundbreaking book published in 1979. Business ethics books began to appear in the 1980s, with engineering ethics following in the 1990s. This volume now opens up a new area of applied ethics, comprehensively addressing the ethical issues confronting the civil aviation industry. Aviation is unique in two major ways: firstly it has a long history of government regulations, and secondly its primary focus is safety. In earlier years commercial aviation was viewed in the same manner as public utilities and so was highly regulated by government. But moves in more recent decades towards deregulation mean aviation is now treated like any other business. Meanwhile some experts believe that the sudden switch to deregulation has caused problems, especially as many airlines were unprepared for the change. Ethical Issues in Aviation focuses on current concerns and trends, to reflect the changes that have occurred in this deregulated era. The book provides the reader with an overview of the major themes in civil aviation ethics. It begins with theoretical frameworks, followed by sections on the business side of aviation, employee responsibility, diversity in aviation, ground issues regarding airports, air traffic control and security, as well as health and the environment. The contributors to the volume include both academics doing research in the field as well as professionals who provide accounts of the ethical situations that arise in the workplace.

August 2011 Air Transport in the 21st Century Key Strategic Developments Edited by John F. O’Connell and George Williams, both at Cranfield University, UK

‘The air transport industry is one of the fastest growing, economically important, yet least profitable industries in the world. Air Transport in the 21st Century: Key Strategic Developments takes the reader on a fascinating journey through some of the key strategic challenges facing the industry today.’

Giovanni Bisignani, Director General & CEO, IATA – International Air Transport Association, • Comprehensive coverage of the key issues affecting and shaping the aviation industry. • Offers perspectives from senior industry gures and academics. Air Transport in the 21st Century reviews current trends in the airline industry and its related suppliers, thereby providing an insight into the forces that are changing its dynamics. It examines the factors that are reshaping the structure of the industry with a view to identifying the key issues whose impact will be critical in the future.

The book features two very distinct sections. The first contains short contributions from senior industry executives from airlines, aircraft/engine manufacturers, safety and navigational provider organisations, who have set out their take of where the airline industry is heading. This commercial input sets the scene for the book and provides the bridge to the second section, which is composed of 18 chapters written by distinguished academic authors. Each chapter presents a valuable insight into a specific area of the air transport industry, including: airlines, airports, cargo, deregulation, the environment, navigation, strategy, information technology, security and tourism. The shared objective of the authors is to describe and explain the core competencies that are determining the current shape of the industry and to examine the forces that will change its direction going forward. Written in a management style, this book appeals to all levels of personnel who work for airlines across the world. It is also written for airport authorities, aerospace manufacturers, regulatory and government transportation agencies, researchers and students of aviation management, transport studies, tourism and the wider air transport industry.

September 2011 Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo Peter S. Morrell, Cranfield University, UK 'Air cargo deserves far greater recognition of its role in the profitability of airlines, and in the global distribution of goods and the spread of the benefits of globalization. A book such as Moving Boxes by Air is therefore a highly welcome addition to the published material covering this aspect of the industry, and provides a fresh analysis and insights. It includes a good overview of the market (customers, commodities and suppliers), of the state of the industry, and of the key issues faced. It is especially relevant to see a balanced chapter on air cargo and the environment, as this topic is still relatively unexplored.' Oliver Evans, Chief Cargo Officer, Swiss International Air Lines Ltd • The

first book dedicated entirely to air cargo. • up-to-date and covering all key aspects of the air cargo sector. Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises. It has also been the most important driver of certain export industries in countries such as South Africa, Kenya and Chile. As a component of the air transport industry, air cargo makes the crucial difference between profit and loss on many long-haul routes. For some network combination carriers it accounts for up to half of total tonne-kms flown, and as much as one quarter of total revenue. In addition, the integrated carriers such as DHL, FedEx and TNT have their own fleets of dedicated freighter aircraft, and cargo aircraft operators like Cargolux and Nippon Cargo have a specialist role in the industry. Featuring expert analysis and worked examples to enhance understanding, Moving Boxes by Air by Peter Morrell offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the business and practices of air cargo, with a chapter dedicated to each key issue, such as: current trends, market characteristics, regulation, airport terminal operations, pricing and revenues, and environmental impacts.

The Passenger Has Gone Digital and Mobile Accessing and Connecting Through Information and Technology Nawal K. Taneja , Department of Aviation, Ohio State University, USA

• Presents the game-changing opportunities presented to the airline industry by new-generation technology. • Offers the chance to break free of the established parameters, to improve the customer experience and the bottom line without the need to compromise. Technology is changing expectations in the airline industry. Passengers want to be in control, and they expect airlines to become solution providers and aggregators of value, to provide them with personalized services. Airline employees expect to be given the tools to do their jobs and to meet passenger expectations. Airline executives expect to make returns that are reasonable and relatively stable through business cycles. All of these expectations can be met by airlines through the effective and efficient leveraging of information and technology, to shift from being operationsand product-centric to becoming customer-centric and dramatically improving the overall passenger travel experience throughout the travel cycle. In this new book Nawal K. Taneja, explores and explains the game-changing opportunities presented to the industry by new-generation information and technology. He shows how information and technology can now drive, not just enable, an airline's strategy to become truly customer-centric at a personalized level, while at the same time enabling the operator to reduce costs, enhance revenues, reduce risks and become much more flexible and agile by better managing complexity.

October 2011 Risk Management and Corporate Sustainability in Aviation Triant G. Flouris, Hellenic American University, Greece and Ayse Kucuk Yilmaz , Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey

• An innovative way to apply risk management to corporate sustainability in aviation. • Identies ways for turning risks into potential corporate advantages. 'This well-written and accurate book offers a real global and accessible view of sustainable development of the aviation industry through the tools that risk management provides. The authors demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of risk management theory as well as its practical application to the aviation industry, given the primacy of sust ainability for aviation’s future.'

Emmanuel A. Gyzis, Airlines Legal Counsel and Executive Senior Partner, Emm. A. Gyzis & Partners Law offices Sustainability factors should be considered by managers like any other business risk issue as they have a substantial impact on corporate management. Air transport corporations need a strong sustainability management framework to manage economic, environmental and social risks and so achieve their corporate sustainability objective and meet their stakeholders' demands. This book offers a new Enterprise Sustainability Risk Management (ESRM) model to fulfill these requirements. The model incorporates the triple bottom line (TBL) agenda into the companies' sustainability management. ESRM deals with the environmental, social, and ecological risks as well as the strategic, economic, operational, and threat risks of companies. The best corporate sustainability strategies and management approaches require the consideration of all corporate risks in both a holistic and systematic way. Flouris and Kucuk Yilmaz present an effective way to manage sustainability risks via a new, well-designed, integrated, dynamic and flexible framework. It introduces an opportunity for turning risks into potential corporate advantages. October 2011 252 pages Hardback 978-1-4094-1199-4 ebook 978-1-4094-1200-7 www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409411994

Understanding Decision-making Processes in Airline Operations Control Peter J. Bruce, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

• Improve decision-making processes and so minimize the impacts of disruptions. • Consider decision-making processes from a human perspective. Previous studies conducted within the aviation industry have examined a multitude of crucial aspects such as policy, airline service quality, and revenue management. An extensive body of literature has also recognised the importance of decision-making in aviation, with the focus predominantly on pilots and air traffic controllers. Understanding Decision-Making Processes in Airline Operations Control focuses instead on an area largely overlooked: an airline's Operations Control Centre (OCC). This is the nerve centre of the airline, responsible for decision-making for operational control of an airline's daily schedules. The OCC’s environment is extremely intense. A key role of controllers is to make decisions that facilitate the airline's recovery from frequent, highly complex, and often multiple disruptions. As such, decision-making in this domain is critical to minimise the operational, commercial and financial impact resulting from disruptions.

Contents

The book examines many aspects of individual decision-making in airline operations, and addresses the deficiencies found by presenting an examination of the relationships among situation awareness, information completeness, experience, expertise, decision considerations and decision alternatives in OCCs.

Preface

The text utilises a multiple case study approach and proposes a number of relevant and important implications for OCC management. Practical outcomes highlight the need for enhancing training programs enabling existing controllers to readily identify and classify elements of situation awareness and decision considerations as a means of improving the decision-making process. They also draw attention to the need for airline OCCs to understand the extent to which industry experience and expertise of controllers is important in the selection of future staff.

Also published in 2011 Implementing Safety Management Systems in Aviation Edited by Alan J. Stolzer, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA, Carl D. Halford, The MITRE Corporation, USA and John J. Goglia, Independent Safety Consultant ASHGATE STUDIES IN HUMAN FACTORS FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS

The International Civil Aviation Organization has mandated that all of its member states implement Safety Management Systems (SMS) in their aviation industries. Responding to that call, many countries are now in various stages of SMS development, implementation, and rulemaking. In their first book, Safety Management Systems in Aviation, Stolzer, Halford, and Goglia provided a strong theoretical framework for SMS, along with a brief discourse on SMS implementation. This follow-up book provides a very brief overview of SMS and offers significant guidance and best practices on implementing SMS programmes. Very specific guidance is provided by industry experts from government, industry, academia, and consulting, who share their invaluable insights from first-hand experience of all aspects of effective SMS programmes. The contributing authors come from all facets of aviation, including regulation and oversight, airline, general aviation, military, airport, maintenance, and industrial safety. Chapters address important topics such as how to develop a system description and perform task analyses, perspectives on data sharing, strategies for gaining management support, establishing a safety culture, approaches to auditing, integrating emergency planning and SMS, and more. Also included is a fictional narrative/story that can be used as a case study on SMS implementation. Implementing Safety Management Systems in Aviation is written for safety professionals and students alike.

Simulation in Aviation Training Edited by Florian Jentsch, Michael Curtis and Eduardo Salas, University of Central Florida, USA CRITICAL ESSAYS ON HUMAN FACTORS IN AVIATION

Simulations have been a fixture of aviation training for many years. Advances in simulator technology now enable modern flight simulation to mimic very closely the look and feel of real world flight operations. In spite of this, responsible researchers, trainers, and simulation developers should look beyond mere simulator fidelity to produce meaningful training outcomes. Optimal simulation training development can unquestionably benefit from knowledge and understanding of past, present, and future research in this topic area. Due to decades of research dedicated to simulation training in aviation, this may be easier said than done. As a result, this volume of key writings will prove invaluable as a reference, to help guide exploration of critical research in the field. By providing a mix of classic articles that stand the test of time, and recent writings that illuminate current issues, this volume informs a broad range of topics relevant to simulation training in aviation.

Situational Awareness Edited by Eduardo Salas and Aaron S. Dietz , both at University of Central Florida, USA CRITICAL ESSAYS ON HUMAN FACTORS IN AVIATION

Situational awareness has become an increasingly salient factor contributing to flight safety and operational performance, and the research has burgeoned to cope with the human performance challenges associated with the installation of advanced avionics systems in modern aircraft. The systematic study and application of situational awareness has also extended beyond the cockpit to include air traffic controllers and personnel operating within other complex, high consequence work domains. This volume offers a collection of essays that have made important contributions to situational awareness research and practice. To this end, it provides unique access to key readings that address the conceptual development of situational awareness, methods for its assessment, and applications to enhance situational awareness through training and design.

Human Performance on the Flight Deck

The Neurosciences and the Practice of Aviation Medicine

Don Harris, HFI Solutions Ltd, UK

Edited by Anthony N. Nicholson, King's College London, UK

‘Finally, a complete book that addresses the positive contributions of Human Factors knowledge and Aviation Psychology. A good description of how all of its facets come together. A must reader. Written by a researcher and teacher with extensive experience in coping with the best and worst of humans working in one of the most rewarding industries in the world. Take your time to read, learn and do not forget: enjoy!’

Peter Jorna, President, European Association for Aviation Psychology Taking an integrated, systems approach to dealing exclusively with the human performance issues encountered on the flight deck of the modern airliner, this book describes the inter-relationships between the various application areas of human factors, recognising that the human contribution to the operation of an airliner does not fall into neat pigeonholes. The relationship between areas such as pilot selection, training, flight deck design and safety management is continually emphasised within the book. It also affirms the upside of human factors in aviation – the positive contribution that it can make to the industry – and avoids placing undue emphasis on when the human component fails. The book is divided into four main parts. Part one describes the underpinning science base, with chapters on human information processing, workload, situation awareness, decision making, error and individual differences. Part two of the book looks at the human in the system, containing chapters on pilot selection, simulation and training, stress, fatigue and alcohol, and environmental stressors. Part three takes a closer look at the machine (the aircraft), beginning with an examination of flight deck display design, followed by chapters on aircraft control, flight deck automation, and HCI on the flight deck. Part four completes the volume with a consideration of safety management issues, both on the flight deck and across the airline; the final chapter in this section looks at human factors for incident and accident investigation.

This book brings the neurosciences to operational and clinical aviation medicine. It is concerned with the physiology and pathology of circadian rhythmicity, orientation, hypotension and hypoxia, and with disorders of the central nervous system relevant to the practice of aviation medicine. The chapters on circadian rhythmicity and orientation deal with the impaired alertness and sleep disturbance associated with desynchrony and with the effects of linear and angular accelerations on spatial awareness. Hypotension and hypoxia cover cerebral function during increased gravitational stress, clinical aspects of exposure to acute hypoxia, the mild hypoxia of the cabin of transport aircraft, adaptation and acclimatization to altitude and decompression at extreme altitudes and in space. Disorders of particular significance to the practice of aviation medicine such as excessive daytime sleepiness, epilepsy, syncope, hypoglycaemia, headache and traumatic brain injury are covered, while neuroophthalmology, the vestibular system and hearing also receive detailed attention. The potentially adverse effects of the aviation environment and of disorders of the nervous system are brought together, and the text covers the neurological examination as it relates to aircrew and explores current management and therapeutics. The Neurosciences and the Practice of Aviation Medicine is an essential work for those involved in the practice of aviation medicine where familiarity with the effects of the aviation environment on the nervous system and understanding the pathophysiology of relevant clinical disorders are of prime concern. The authors from leading centres of excellence are physiologists concerned with the aviation environment and physicians involved in the dayto-day practice of medicine.
