FAA/AES - NASA/DIP Technical Interchange Meeting

Shawn M Gorman·Pallavi Hegde·Swati Saxena

Abstract

The purpose of this Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) is to hold our second of several discussions on select DIP and AES-topics. The first AES- DIP Technical Interchange Meeting was an in-person event in Washington DC. This is a followup meeting to deep dive into some of the areas discussed during the 1st TIM

A Quench Detection and Monitoring System for Superconducting Magnets at Fermilab

A quench detection system was developed for protecting and monitoring the superconducting solenoids for the Muon-to-Electron Conversion Experiment (Mu2e) at Fermilab. The quench system was designed for a high level of dependability and long-term continuous operation. It is based on three tiers: Tier-I, FPGA-based Digital Quench Detection (DQD); Tier-II, Analog Quench Detection (AQD); and Tier-3, the quench controls and data management system. The Tier-I and Tier-II are completely independent and fully redundant systems. The Tier-3 system is based on National Instruments (NI) C-RIO and provides the user interface for quench controls and data management. It is independent from Tiers I & II. The DQD provides both quench detection and quench characterization (monitoring) capability. Both DQD and AQD have built-in high voltage isolation and user programmable gains and attenuations. The DQD and AQD also includes user configured current dependent thresholding and validation times. A 1 st article of the three-tier system was fully implemented on the new Fermilab magnet test stand for the HL-LHC Accelerator Up-grade Project (AUP). It successfully provided quench protection and monitoring (QPM) for a cold superconducting bus test in November 2020. The Mu2e quench detection design has since been implemented for production testing of the AUP magnets. A detailed description of the system along with results from the AUP superconducting bus test will be presented.

The Effects of Training and Flight Director Use on Pilot Monitoring Performance: A Sensemaking Approach

The need for improved pilot monitoring and awareness has been widely recognized, and training is a possible intervention. Based on our sensemaking-model of monitoring, we identified key properties of monitoring flight path. We designed scenarios with associated behavioral markers that provide measures of monitoring performance and a short training module emphasizing our proactive, anticipatory view of monitoring. Nineteen first officers from a major US airline participated in the training study. Each pilot flew in a simulator pretest, participated in a training session, and flew in a simulator posttest. We found modest but significant improvements in monitoring. The study collected video, simulator, and eyetracking data and also manipulated whether the Flight Director was on or off. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Methods for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Programs to Train Pilot Monitoring

This report provides a compendium of methods for evaluation of training programs. It addresses training programs for developing pilot monitoring skills and has a focus on monitoring flight path management. It presents the Sensemaking Model of Monitoring as a framework for organizing the targets of training, and thus also the types of change in performance useful for assessing program effectiveness. It provides guidance for designing program evaluations, which can be tailored to address the specific monitoring topics or content for an application to fleet or airline needs.
