Description
This project is being undertaken as part of a masters project through the University of Southern Queensland.
The purpose of this project is to understand how pilots perceive the introduction of evidence-based training into airline cyclic programs.
Participation
Your participation will involve the completion of an online questionnaire that will take approximately 5 minutes.
Questions aim to identify the perception of evidence-based training and how you perceive its effect on your competency during line operations.
Participation in this project is entirely voluntary.
You are not obliged to take part if you do not wish to. If you decide to take part and later change your mind, you are free to withdraw from the project at any stage. However, you will be unable to withdraw data collected about yourself after you have participated in the questionnaire.
The decision to take part, not to take part, or to take part and then withdraw will not impact your current or future relationship with the University of Southern Queensland.
Expected benefits
This project may not directly benefit you. However, it may add to the body of knowledge about the effectiveness of evidence-based training for flight crew.
Risks
In participating in the questionnaire, there are no anticipated risks beyond normal day-to-day living.
