During the flight, a large amount of control data is left idle, and airlines have not analyzed or studied this data.

[0163] First, the mature captain group (with more than one year of captain experience). This group of captains is between 30 and 40 years old, with a mature and stable mentality. They have flown about 10,000 hours since joining the company and have rich experience. In addition, the captain's duty is to personally operate the aircraft for takeoff and landing. At this stage, mature captains have been trained in takeoff and landing operations for a long time, have sufficient flying experience, and have formed a set of stable behavioral habits in their operating techniques. Therefore, mature captains are the most stable and reliable group in the operation process of airlines.
[0164] Second, the mature co-pilot group (more than three years of co-pilot experience). This group of co-pilots are between 20 and 30 years old, and some are over 30 years old. They have flown for about 3,000 to 5,000 hours since joining the company. They have rich flying experience and are skilled and stable in operating the co-pilot seat. In addition, mature co-pilots who have been flying for more than three years are about to enter the captain assessment stage. Generally, airlines will arrange for special people to fly for mature co-pilots to ensure the stability and continuity of knowledge and skills learning. At the same time, the technical standards are strict, so mature co-pilots with more than three years of experience are also a relatively stable group.
[0165] Third, the mature instructor group. The vast majority of mature instructors are over 40 years old, with more than 10,000 hours of flight time since they joined the company. They have extensive flight experience. Although the main task of a flight instructor in actual flight is teaching rather than operating the aircraft, mature flight instructors can detect deviation trends that will occur during flight control earlier, and through communication, prompt the co-pilot to stabilize the flight or take over the aircraft and return to normal. In the monitoring of flights operated by instructors themselves, the technical status of the mature instructor group is also relatively stable. (2) Class B pilots (good landing quality)
[0166] Class B pilots belong to the type with good landing quality. Although some of their control behaviors are poor, the final landing state of the aircraft is good. As shown in Table 9, the total number of this group is 151, accounting for 37.38% of the total group, including 49 instructors, 79 captains, and 23 co-pilots.
[0167] Table 9 Characteristics statistics of Class B pilots
[0168]
[0169]
[0170] The notable characteristics of this group are:
[0171] First, some new captains (with less than one year of experience as captain). Most of these captains are around 30 years old. Due to the role change on the aircraft (from an auxiliary manager of an aircraft to a leader), they are nervous to a certain extent. Most new captains have about 5,000 hours of flying time. This group has just experienced the change of sight angle and procedures from the right seat to the left seat in the cockpit, and the main control hand has also changed from the right hand to the left hand. It is difficult to correct previous habits quickly, and some deviations often occur during the flight. However, due to their own mature flight experience and flying ability, they can often correct deviations quickly after deviations occur, and finally maintain a good landing state.
[0172] Second, some new instructors (with less than one year of experience as an instructor). Most of these instructors are between 35 and 40 years old, and have about 5,000 to 10,000 hours of flight time. Like new captains, new instructors are facing a transition in their technical level and lack experience in teaching co-pilots in real flights. When they discover that the co-pilot’s flight control has deviated, the instructors fail to communicate in a timely manner, resulting in deviations in the co-pilot’s control behavior. Therefore, instructors often take over the aircraft at low altitudes during the flight and then land normally. Similarly, some instructors may experience control deviations when personally operating the aircraft for landing, as they have operated fewer landings and their skills are relatively unfamiliar. However, due to their rich flying experience, the final landing is normal.
[0173] Third, there is a small group of co-pilots. These co-pilots are between 20 and 30 years old and have less than 5,000 hours of flight time. Since the co-pilot is under the supervision of the instructor during the flight phase, the instructor will remind or even take over the control when there is a deviation in the control behavior. It is rare that the co-pilot's control behavior deviates and the landing state is normal after self-correction, so this type of co-pilot will not be discussed for the time being.
[0174] (3) Category C pilots (inadequate landing quality)
[0175] Category C pilots belong to the landing quality inadequacy type. Both the control behavior and landing status are poor. As shown in Table 10, the total number of this group is 73, accounting for 18.07% of the total group, including 3 instructors, 18 captains, and 52 co-pilots.
[0176] Table 10 Characteristics statistics of Class C pilots
[0177]
[0178]
[0179] The notable characteristics of this group are:
[0180] First, some new captains (with less than one year of captain experience). Most of these captains are around 30 years old. The main reason is that they did not adapt to the new environment in time after changing seats. As they were used to controlling the aircraft with their right hand during their co-pilot period, they often experienced unstable landing conditions after switching to left-hand control. In addition, the correction action was slow after the aircraft deviated, causing the landing condition to also exceed the normal range. During the training of new captains, the failure rate of Class C captains in the inspection was significantly higher than that of Class A and B captains, and the training took longer.
[0181] Second, the group of new co-pilots. Due to their lack of flying experience, nervous mentality and unskilled skills during landing often lead to rough control, so the control behavior deviates a lot from the landing status. Historically, there have been serious unsafe incidents during flight training where the new co-pilot did not hear the instructor's instructions and continued to pull the joystick during the operation, resulting in the aircraft scraping the tail and the fuselage being damaged. The deviation in the control of the new co-pilot is an important process in the training of pilots. Continuous training helps the co-pilot to clarify the boundaries of deviant behavior and the decision-making ability on how to respond correctly after the deviation occurs. With the increase of flying experience, their technical ability will continue to improve and tend to be mature and stable.
[0182] Further analysis for pilots with insufficient landing quality (Category C):
[0183] After analyzing the pilot characteristics statistics, as shown in Table 11, the focus is on classifying the five types of landing conditions for pilots with landing quality Class C, and analyzing the pilots' control behavior deviations and mitigation directions.
[0184] Table 11 Classification of pilots with insufficient landing quality
[0185]
[0186]
[0187] There are five points to manage the five types of landing conditions and related control behaviors of pilots with insufficient landing quality in actual flight:
[0188] First, the touchdown slope. Among the behaviors that lead to the deviation of the touchdown slope state, the top five are slope change, slope change after rudder input, maximum deviation between the landing roll heading and the runway track, course deviation and maximum airspeed change rate. Among them, the first four are caused by the pilot's subjective control factors, and the last one is the maximum airspeed change rate caused by the rapid change of the ground wind direction and speed. Therefore, the main management direction for determining the deviation of the touchdown slope state is to alleviate the pilot's left and right input and input frequency of the joystick.
[0189] Second, landing bounce. Among the behaviors that lead to deviation from the landing bounce state, the top five are the maximum attitude change rate, lateral overload, maximum deceleration rate, the distance from touchdown to 40 knots, and the absolute value of slope change. Among them, the maximum attitude change rate is the most direct factor leading to the landing bounce. The lateral overload and the absolute value of the slope change are redundant actions of the pilot in the operation before and after the touchdown bounce. This action indicates that the pilot's control of the joystick is unstable during the landing process. The maximum deceleration rate and the distance from touchdown to 40 knots are the second touchdown after the landing bounce. Due to the loss of a large deceleration distance, the aircraft needs to increase the deceleration rate, resulting in a relatively short distance from touchdown to 40 knots. Based on the behavioral analysis, it can be determined that the management direction of landing bounce is to alleviate the stability of the pilot's control of the joystick input frequency and the descent rate.
[0190] Third, landing attitude. Among the behaviors that lead to deviations in the landing attitude state, the top five are whether there is a forward push rod amount, the maximum rate of change of airspeed, whether the throttle is reduced, the maximum absolute value of the slope, and the maximum rate of change of the descent rate. Among them, whether there is a forward push rod amount and the maximum rate of change of descent are the most direct factors of the landing attitude. The forward push rod amount will cause a direct change in attitude. The maximum rate of change of descent is caused by the forward push rod amount. The maximum rate of change of airspeed and whether the throttle is reduced represent the increase or decrease of the aircraft engine. Too small engine thrust cannot ensure that the aircraft has enough lift to maintain, so the pitch attitude needs to be increased. The maximum absolute value of the slope is the same as above, which is an unnecessary action when the pilot is manipulating. Based on the behavioral analysis, it can be determined that the management direction of the landing attitude is to alleviate the excessive thrust of the aircraft engine and the existence of forward push rod manipulation during the landing stage.
[0191] Fourth, landing distance. Among the behaviors that lead to landing distance state deviation, the top five are ground speed before leaving the runway, whether the throttle is reduced, the maximum rate of change of airspeed, whether the throttle lever is fully retracted, and the maximum rate of change of descent rate. Among them, whether the throttle is reduced and whether the throttle lever is fully retracted are the direct causes of the landing distance. Since the throttle is not reduced before landing, the aircraft will not be able to touch the ground smoothly due to excessive thrust during landing, resulting in a long landing distance after entering the runway. The maximum rate of change of airspeed and the maximum rate of change of descent rate are derivative behaviors of the throttle not being fully retracted. The ground speed before leaving the runway is also due to the high speed of the aircraft before touching down, which leads to excessive speed during departure. Based on the behavioral analysis, it can be determined that the management direction of the landing distance is to alleviate the problem of pilots not retracting the throttle during landing.
[0192] Fifth, touchdown vertical speed. Among the behaviors that lead to deviations in the touchdown vertical speed state, the top five are whether the throttle lever is fully retracted before touchdown, the maximum rate of change of airspeed, the maximum rate of change of attitude, the maximum airspeed, and the throttle is still reduced when the descent rate is greater than the normal value. This state is exactly the opposite of the landing distance. It is caused by the throttle being fully retracted too early and the aircraft engine thrust being too small during landing. The premature retraction of the throttle lever before touchdown is the fundamental problem of the touchdown vertical speed state. The maximum rate of change of airspeed, the maximum rate of change of attitude, and the maximum airspeed are all derivative problems of the premature retraction of the throttle lever. The throttle is still reduced when the descent rate is greater than the normal value, which means that the pilot did not notice that the descent rate before landing was greater than the normal range. Based on the behavioral analysis, it can be determined that the management direction of the touchdown vertical speed is to alleviate the problem of pilots retracting the throttle too early during landing.
