Abstract
Situation awareness (SA) is widely recognized as critical to success in the aviation environment. Most research to date has focused on SA in highly experienced military or commercial airline pilots. Yet, general aviation (GA) pilots, usually far less experienced and trained, fall prey to the vast majority of aviation accidents. Fifty-eight experienced flight instructors completed a survey on SA problems in GA operations. It found a wide range of SA problems across GA pilots at various levels of experience and in all phases of flight, although some factors appear to become less problematic with experience. Areas where problems are the most acute are identified and recommendations are made for improving SA in GA pilots.
