Flight research:

Flight Research Associates, in partnership with DynEd, Inc. is actively engaged in providing coursework and instruction for pilots and air traffic controllers to meet and surpass the ICAO Level IV English Proficiency Requirement. The Aviation English courses focus on key language concepts and vocabulary necessary to improve airline safety, both on the ground and in the air.
End Around Taxiway (EATS) I & II

Flight Research Associates provided approximately 30 pilots and air traffic controllers to participate in a simulation of The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to determine the effects of the construction and operation of End-around Taxiways (EAT) for runways on both the east and west sides of the airport. The simulation was used to determine the operational efficiency of the new taxiways and to determine if pilots can distinguish if an aircraft is crossing the departure end of the runway or utilizing the End-around Taxiway.

The study was conducted in two parts, using NASA’s Future Flight Central control tower simulator and NASA’s B747-400 flight simulator.
