The Mediator Role of Proactive Personality in the Effect of Psychological Empowerment on Self-Leadership: A Study for the Aviation Industry

In recent years, psychological empowerment has been a tool to solve management problems arising from the need for creativity, innovation, and flexibility. In an environment where competition is intense, meeting the needs and expectations of conscious customers is only possible with a working style that can benefit from the initiative of the personnel. The concept of self-leadership consists of the theory of self-control and includes the concepts of self-influence and self-leadership. This study examines the mediating role of proactive personality in the effect of psychological empowerment on self-leadership. In this direction, a questionnaire was applied to 406 people in the province of Istanbul, including the cabin cockpit, ground services, operations, and general directorate in the civil aviation industry. The study used a structural equation model for the analysis. As a result, it concludes that personality has a partial mediating role in the effect of psychological empowerment on self-leadership. It suggests a need for personnel who can take the initiative, manage themselves, and adapt quickly to change, especially in the aviation sector, where safety and security are the most critical factors. Accordingly, there is a need for appropriate industry professionals in recruitment, selection and placement, training and development, and talent and career management. This need will continue to grow in the future.

The Impact of the Ukraine-Russia Conflict on the Aviation Sector: February-May 2022

Aviation; it is a global sector that affects many areas such as education, trade, tourism, and is also affected by many situations such as epidemics, economic fluctuations, political disagreements and military intervention. For this reason, the disagreement between Ukraine and Russia also quietly affects the aviation industry. Although disagreements seem to continue between the two countries, issues such as the closure of airspaces, changes in flight costs as a result of changing routes, the situation of aircraft and component manufacturers, tourism and aviation security concern aviation globally. In this study, which was conducted to reveal the impact of the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the aviation sector, case study research, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In a four-month period, sources such as newspaper news, internet news sites, websites of authorities were scanned, and it was tried to reveal how the conflict was reflected in the aviation industry. This method was chosen considering that it is suitable for this study in terms of revealing what happened in the past, how people were affected, how the processes took place, and what the results were. Between February 24 and March 2, when the disagreements between the two countries began, all flights to Ukraine were stopped, while air traffic in neighbouring countries decreased. International passenger traffic of Russian airlines decreased by at least four times in March 2022 compared to March 2021, and by sixteen times compared to March 2019. The Ukraine-Russia conflict also negatively affected the flight times of passenger flights between East and West. As a result of the study, the great impact of the four-month period, which is thought to be short, on the aviation sector has been tried to be revealed.

DESSRT: A Novel Framework for Empirical Red Teaming at Scale

Background Red Teaming is widely used to discover vulnerabilities, test defensive measures, and anticipate emerging but novel threats. It has rarely been conducted both systematically and at scale, substantially limiting confidence in its results and the generalizability of its findings. Aim We introduce distributed, empirical, systematic, and scalable red teaming (DESSRT), a framework for translating tactical-level Red Teaming into a replicable research methodology. We apply DESSRT to address whether the information about and availability of computed tomography (CT) scanners influences adversary decision-making in aviation security. Method Using a convenience sample of 143 university students, participants role-played as adversaries in an eight-hour attack planning exercise. Via a custom instrument, participants were randomly assigned across three adversary profiles built on historical cases and then designed a simulated attack. Afterwards, one of three injects about CT scanners were randomly assigned, and participants were asked about potential changes in attack plans (including target changes). Differences among assigned profiles and CT scanner injects were evaluated using standard statistical tests of association. Results Although differences in explosive and weapon package selections were not statistically significant across profiles, security evasion methods were. Following injects, participants were equally as likely to change tactics across profiles, with the majority (53%) changing at least one tactical area. When asked, the majority (18) of those who changed targets (27/143) reported that the additional information on CT scanners did have some effect on their target change decision. Conclusion Overall, the DESSRT framework provides a novel mechanism for translating traditional Red Teaming exercises into a replicable and empirical research method. Although not a replacement for historical data, where available, DESSRT allows analysts and researchers to test theories about human decision-making, generate novel what-if insights to support planning efforts, and validate parameters within complex models.

ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN THE CONDITIONS OF AVIATION ENTERPRISES

Taking into account modern realities and the importance of the aviation component in the transport and logistics system of Ukraine, an important factor today is the maintenance of aviation security at the appropriate level of the enterprises of the aviation industry of Ukraine. The research results of various industrial facilities showed that they have different specifics of the technological process and their unique features of the implementation of distributed generation sources. One of the important components in this case is the electricity supply of the specified objects. Meanwhile, there may be some obstacles within the airport territory: natural – terrain relief (highlands, mountains) and high vegetation; artificial – buildings, structures, the height of which is limited by conventional horizontal and inclined planes. The main reason for the growing interest in solar energy is the falling cost of generated electricity. 20 years ago, the production of one kilowatt cost 1 euro. Today, in countries rich in the sun, 1 kW costs less than 10 euro cents, and in some regions 6-7 cents.The possibility and specifics of the operation of a solar power plant (SPP) in the conditions of operating aviation enterprises were analyzed. Therefore, it is possible to consider the airfield area as a potential training ground for the installation of solar photo-electric installations. In order to solve the problem of improving the aviation safety of the objects of the aviation industry of Ukraine, the possibility and peculiarities of the introduction of solar energy in the languages of enterprises of the specified industry were analyzed. A mathematical model of a solar photovoltaic installation was proposed, which makes it possible to evaluate the influence of energy characteristics depending on external factors.

Classification and Causes Identification of Chinese Civil Aviation Incident Reports

Safety is a primary concern for the civil aviation industry. Airlines record high-frequency but potentially low-severity unsafe events, i.e., incidents, in their reports. Over the past few decades, civil aviation security practitioners have made efforts to analyze these issues. The information in incident reports is valuable for risk analysis. However, incident reports were inefficiently utilized due to incoherence, large volume, and poor structure. In this study, we proposed a technical scheme to intelligently classify and extract risk factors from Chinese civil aviation incident reports. Firstly, we adopted machine learning classifiers and vectorization strategies to classify incident reports into 11 categories. Grid search was used to adjust the parameters of the classifier. In the preliminary experiment, the combination of the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier and the occurrence position (OC-POS) vectorization strategy outperformed with an 0.85 weighted F1-score. In addition, we designed a rule-based system to identify the factors related to the occurrence of incidents from 25 empirical causes, which included equipment, human, environment, and organizational causes. For cause identification, we used rules obtained through manual analysis with keywords and discourse. F1-score above 0.90 was obtained on the test set using the causes identification model derived from the training set. The proposed system permits insights into unsafe factors in aviation incidents and prevents reoccurrence. Future works can proceed on this study, such as exploring the causal relationship between causes and incidents.

From Policy and Response to System Design and Operations: Inter-Governmental Transit Security Planning in the U.S.

The events of September 11th, 2001, brought the issue of transportation security and terrorism to the forefront of civil society. Transit security is especially challenging because of the nature of transit systems as open and accessible public places and the need to keep these systems running quickly and efficiently; transit officials cannot employ many of the security strategies used in aviation security. This paper examines the recent developments in transit security planning in the U.S. using two sources of data: 1) interviews with officials from federal agencies, a national transit industry organization, and local transit agencies, and 2) a nationwide survey of transit operators. The findings show that transit security remains a major concern for operators who must work to balance security needs with operations and management goals. Interagency coordination has become a crucial element of security planning. In addition, environmental design and public outreach and education—two strategies that received much less attention pre-September 11th—have emerged as much more important in transit security planning.

Analysis of Emotional Intelligence, Airmanship, and Situational Awareness Resilience to Indonesian Pilot Emergency Decision Making

Aircraft is a mean of transportation with the highest level of safety among other means of transportation, this is inseparable from improvements in the operating system, maintenance and improvement of rules in aviation safety and security. Among the causes of the plane crash, based on the recorded data, the HR factor or Human Error is the highest causal factor, and this cannot be separated from the Pilot's Decision Making in a flight. This study examines 3 aspects that must be considered by regulators and flight operators, including 1. Emotional Intelligence of an Aviator, 2. Airmanship and 3. Situational Awareness Resilience of a Pilot who has limitations on Emergency Decision Making Strategies. Sampling in this study used a random sampling technique with a total of 99 Indonesian Pilots. The data was collected using a questionnaire with a Likert scale which was processed using SPSS version 25. The research method used was multiple linear regression. The results of this study indicate that the Emotional Intelligence variable has a significant effect on emergency decision making, while the airmanship variable has no significant effect on emergency decision making, at the same time the situational awareness resilience variable has a significant effect on emergency decision making by Indonesian Pilots. The results of this study are expected to improve flight safety in Indonesia.

МАТЕМАТИЧНЕ МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ТА МЕТОДИ ПІДБОРУ СКЛАДУ ПОРИСТОГО ЦЕМЕНТОБЕТОНУ

Introduction. The construction and operation of airfield elements such as runways, taxiways, and parking places that meet the requirements of regulations and modern methods of road works are significant in the system of aviation security in modern conditions. In order to ensure safe conditions for landing aircraft on the runway during downpours and heavy rains, porous cement concrete should be used as the surface source, which will further reduce hydroplaning. Research problem. Due to a large number of aircraft crashes and their rolling outside the runway, which is associated with the frequent failure of the coating to perform drainage because of unfavorable weather conditions (including thunderstorms, showers, and snowfalls), there is the need to improve the existing structures of airfield pavements or to develop new technologies to improve the drainage of pavement and, accordingly, the safety of takeoff and landing of aircraft on the runway. The use of modern airfield pavement structures made of porous cement concrete with drainage properties is one of the ways to solve this problem. The purpose of the study. The research aims to prove that the use of porous cement concrete in mathematical modeling of porous cement concrete composition and improvement of airfield structure will guarantee safe conditions for takeoff and landing and taxiing of aircraft on the runway. Materials and methods. During the research, the analysis of monographs, normative documentation, methodical instructions and recommendations was made. These documents establish requirements concerning the selection of materials for porous cement concrete structure, its use in the construction of elements of an airfield, and their exploitation. Results. The feasibility of using different methods of design and selection of the design and selection of porous cement concrete is proved. Conclusion. The revision and analysis of the literature showed that in order to obtain products and structures with specified properties the most appropriate approach is the use of several methods simultaneously to project and select components for the composition of porous cement concrete. The benefits of the simultaneous use of several methods such as the reduction of information processing time, the improvement of mixture quality, the flexibility of the model to adjustment, the simplification of analysis, and the comparison of indicators of mathematical modeling and laboratory tests were highlighted.

Difference in risk perception of onboard security threats by aircrew and aviation security experts

Airlines are increasingly relying on non-security personnel such as cabin crews and pilots to perform a security function when dealing with potential onboard security threats. The training aircrews receive on security threat assessment is considered by many to be inadequate. The way aircrews respond to potential onboard threats can have life and death consequences for passengers and other aircrew. How these potential threats are handled can also cause significant financial loss to the airlines through loss of productivity, passenger claims or even legal liability. For this reason, it is imperative we understand how aircrews perceive security risk in order to make appropriate risk assessments. This study examines if aircrew perceive security risks the same as aviation security experts. Five scenarios representing actual potential onboard security threats were given to a group of 67 pilots, cabin crew and aviation security experts. The participants were asked a series of questions about the scenarios that measured how they perceived the potential threat as well as other questions to determine how prepared they were to deal with each scenario. The results showed that aircrews perceive and assess risk associated with onboard security threats significantly different than aviation security experts.

PECULIARITIES OF DETERMINATION OF RECONSTRUCTION POTENTIAL OF ENERGY SOURCE IN THE CONDITIONS OF AVIATION ENTERPRISES

In the context of the world economy, air transport today, among other characteristics, is characterized by high technological complexity of vehicles, increasing the safety of air transport, strengthening measures to protect aviation from acts of unlawful interference and development of modern multimodal transport technologies and infrastructure for various modes of transport. Due to the global trend, unmanned aerial vehicles have become widespread in various areas and sectors of the world economy. Meanwhile, the issue of energy security as a component of aviation security at airfields and specialized enterprises in their operation, storage and maintenance remains unresolved. The problem of this work is the synthesis of the method of determining the potential of dispersed energy sources in aviation enterprises. Combining the parallel operation of dispersed generation and network will give a synergistic effect - the emergence of new properties that were not in the components, which is manifested, in particular, in increasing factors influencing energy performance, irregularity of the total load schedule of integrated systems, reducing its unevenness in daily, weekly and seasonal sections, reducing the dependence of the frequency of electric current on power balance fluctuations. In previous studies, the authors justify the positive effect of the introduction of sources of dispersed generation in industrial enterprises, namely modularity, reliability, local governance, reducing the negative impact on the environment and short start-up period. Given the complexity of the technological process and the specifics of the operation of electrical equipment of aviation enterprises, an urgent scientific and practical task is to develop a method for determining the potential of dispersed energy sources in these enterprises. To determine the potential of sources of dispersed generation in aviation enterprises, it is necessary to have as complete and clear data on electricity supply and power consumption of electrical equipment of these enterprises during the day, as well as data on electricity consumption in the power grid, operation and load consumption. At aviation enterprises, the introduction of dispersed generation based on renewable energy sources into the general structure of power supply systems is relevant and possible. The proposed method of determining the potential of dispersed energy sources in the conditions of aviation enterprises will allow to effectively implement dispersed generation in the power supply structure of aviation enterprises.
