Abstract
This exploratory study assessed pilot takeoff behavior into adverse weather. Sixty general aviation pilots were presented with three levels of simulated ground visibility (1, 3, 5 sm), two levels of cloud ceiling (1000′, 2000′), and two levels of real financial incentive (straight salary, salary + bonus for takeoff). Trends were found in regression analysis for a number of environmental predictors of takeoff, though not for personality or demographic predictors. Methodological and analytical concerns inherent to this type of study were encountered and identified.
