THE IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY OF A FATAL
AIRLINE ACCIDENT:
Tim Brady Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University United States of America
This is a study of how a virtual technology
burden was created that impacted the professional pilot college
student and various colleges/universities that offer professional
pilot degree programs. A cascading set of events began as a result
of U.S. congressional reaction to a tragic airline accident. The
resulting legislation forced the Federal Aviation Administration to
publish new rules for first officer qualifications that were
unmindful of the recommendations of professional pilot groups for
simulation-based training. Ultimately, this placed a financial
burden on both the college/university training curriculum and on the
professional pilot student. |
