TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Qualitative assessment of general aviation pilots' perceptions of preflight weather briefings JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - McSorley, Jacqueline A1 - Kleber, John A1 - Domingo, Cassandra A1 - Castano, Gianna A1 - Blickensderfer, Beth SP - 236 EP - 240 VL - 65 IS - 1 N2 - Prior to departing on a flight, General Aviation pilots complete a preflight planning process to ensure the safety of their flight. One aspect of the preflight planning process is obtaining a briefing on the weather conditions that the pilot might encounter along their flight route. Traditionally pilots have utilized a phone-in service, run by Flight Services, to aid in their assessment of weather conditions; however, research indicates that pilots are increasingly reliant on conducting self- briefing using online resources. The purpose of this study is to determine pilot perceptions of obtaining a phone-in brief in comparison to self-briefing.
