Initial measures show web-delivered learning module improves pilots’ monitoring & anticipatio' (2025)
Anticipation and monitoring are key pilot activities that build safety margin in flight operations. Conversely, inadequate monitoring is frequently identified as a factor contributing to aviation accidents. We propose that: effective, anticipatory monitoring is a proactive cognitive activity; development of tutorials for web based learning may be an effective method for learning anticipation and monitoring skills; and anticipatory monitoring skills can be measured on the web. Our exploratory study with airline pilots evaluated whether pilots' anticipatory monitoring improved after a tutorial as measured in a web-based assessment. We found large, significant gains on a multiple- choice test that assessed the understanding and application of concepts and strategies taught in the tutorial. We identify challenges and potential value of the research approach and findings.
