abstract="Proper landing flares are crucial to smooth and safe landings. Nevertheless, landing flare accident rates are relatively high and past studies have implicated flaws in flare instruction. This study tested the effectiveness, ergonomics, and safety of a novel landing flare discriminative cue. Twenty-six participants with no prior aviation background were trained to land a Cessna 182S simulator. Control participants were provided with traditional landing flare instructions and experimental participants with a discriminative auditory cue. Results indicated that control participants flared significantly higher, registered higher impacts at touchdown, and appeared to initiate the flare in a trial-and-error fashion.<p />",
