abstract="<p>This paper investigates aspects of Chinese authoritarianism (CA) in the cockpit. CA as a special type can be appropriately symbolized by the Chinese dragon. Its essential characters, deduced from the origin of the dragon representing a complete concept, totally different from the understanding as being evil held by Western people, are described. Taiwanese pilots were surveyed. From the comparisons made between local and foreign Captains, it was found that with the Chinese dragon in mind, CA can be categorized as having the following components: 1) inscrutable power; 2) auspicious expectation; and 3) family clan. It is expected that with this study the mutual understanding between Chinese pilots and the Western designers of the aviation system can be promoted.</p> <p>Language: en</p>",
