The research on influence factors of pilots' situation awareness upon analytic hierarchy

The level of pilots' situation awareness directly affects the pilots' judgments and decisions. The improvement of the pilots' situation awareness level was an important task for pilots' training. In order to improve the pilots' situation awareness in flight navigation, this paper studied the main factors that influence the situation awareness of pilots in flight navigation training, and provided theoretical basis for the targeted training. Using the Delphi method, we selected and established the main Influencing factors of the pilots' situation awareness in every phases of flight navigation training, and also established hierarchical structure system. We got the judgment matrix assigned by four mature pilots and three aerospace theoretical researchers jointly and establish judgment matrix with comparison coefficient for the hierarchical structure of the factors affecting the pilots' situation awareness in flight navigation. We check the consistency of judgment matrix. According to the weight coefficient of each factor, we sorted and analyzed the main influencing factors. In contrast with airline flight standard of the "Airline Transport Pilot License and Aircraft Type Practice Test Standard-Aircraft", we checked the main factors affecting the pilot's situation awareness with a large weight coefficient that were basically consistent with the main requirements in navigation training. These factors are aircraft attitude control, track correction, landmark recognition; task planning during flight preparation phase, autonomous preparation; landmark identification during the departure phase, and flight to the tower during the return flight phase.
