Norman, "However, surely the real question here is about the cognitive management of activity." Ah, but knowing what the eyes are doing and therefore some of...
Greg, Jeff, et al, some interesting and provocative thoughts. The title of this thread was taken from the RAeS presentation; it's not to say that any training...
One of the tenants of an effective instructor is they are able to use the tool "direction of attention". In basic Clearhood flying it is getting the pilot to...
Gary, True; so true. Re: Is eye scanning technology the panacea? – No, not as I understand the system. It only shows where the subject is looking, thus what...
Dan, Surely the problem is that direction of gaze is no guarantee of signal detection, let alone perception. Eye tracking technology can help with the design...
Back in the 80s, Piedmont worked with NASA on an eye-tracker in the simulators. I participated and wore a small device that tracked eye movement and a screen...
Norm, Yes, I agree, providing that we do not stray too far into the subconscious. IIRC there are theories which suggest that everything within the line of...
Wiley, You make a good point about the difference between effective behaviour and defined markers. I do wonder if, in an attempt to describe some exemplars of...
I have no doubt, the history of the debrief is to point out errors or things missed. And some have said a great way to move up is to be able to find and note...
Hi Dan: I found your appreciation very wise, but as we get confortable in perception, we start to have time (brain) for comprehension. Besides, when we enter...
Eye tracking is fine to give us some understanding of what a pilot is doing in a macro sense at this point in time. I.e., if his eyes are not going anywhere...
I will be out of the office starting 06/06/2009 and will not return until 06/15/2009. May be reached on my cell and checking email [Non-text portions of this...
Thanks Dan, I did not get the eye-tracking PPT from Colin Budenberg at the conference last month but will ask him if we can have one to post, and perhaps some...
<<However, surely the real question here is about the cognitive management of activity. On the one hand we need to find ways to get pilots to maintain an...

Alberto, thanks for your comment After further reflection I wonder if perhaps both Jeff and you in analyzing the need for a disciplined scan, have overlooked...
Dan, Personally I feel at this point I have to assume that the pilot has the basic skills to fly the aircraft (at least with the folks I work with). If they...
Hi Dan: In the case of the ADI as focus for attitude, we may add to our conditioning exercice, also a brief look to the standby horizon, which is a primary...
Jeff, thanks; but isn't there a danger in assuming? Surely we should `do as we teach' … always check, otherwise how do we judge the value of training? OK, so...
Dan, It could also be that the lack of flying skills comes from boredom. After all, if you have to monitor something for hours on end and it doesn't do...
When I was a child, I went with a friend and his father to search for wildlife. I was told a wise old hunting adage, from the crusty old hunter father of my...
Hi Tom, a very nice book which combines the wisdom and experience of crusty old hunters, firefighters, pilots and others with the findings from neurobiology is...
Tom, some excellent points, but as ever how do we teach/gain the magic experience? We can tell people what different colors mean – teaching basic knowledge,...
I would recommend:- "The Logic Of Failure: Recognizing And Avoiding Error In Complex Situation" Dietrich Dorner Search for reviews, generally highly rated, but...
One of the greatest firefighting minds in the world, Ted Putnam, argues for "mindfulness", and that a period of quiet meditation before entering into the...
Tom You paint an interesting picture of Ted which is open for some rather humorous speculation. Not certain what type of firefighter he is, but there he is...
Following on Tom Lubnau's observation from 'one of the greatest firefighting minds in the world' re 'mindfulness' and his own experience, for those who may be...
Gary, I would also note that typically for the greatest athletes they need only maintain that focus for a short period of time and that goal has a relatively...
Hi Steve: If possible, I would like a copy of your article "Mental Preparation for Flying". Alberto Following on Tom Lubnau's observation from 'one of the...
Dear Fellows: It seems that first of all a pilot must want to see ; second, must like to see; third, must feel confortable on all normal, abnormal and...
