Introduction
For pilots operating in conditions that exceed their ability, a pilot can quickly create an undesired aircraft state. Since weather is always changing along a flight path it is imperative to be prepared for any unforeseen situations that may arise during a flight; while prior planning is always a safety net, it will not alleviate every scenario that appears such as inadvertent flight into cloud. Of course Transport Canada has taken the appropriate precautions by incorporating a minimum instrument time of five hours before the issuance of a private pilot license, of which three of those hours can be issued on the ground in approved flight training devices (FTDs). As a result of these requirements, pilots will be more prepared when …show more content…
The research will be done through a variety of methods and investigated from several different viewpoints. These viewpoints will consist of the regulators, the student pilots, the instructors, and the flight training unit. To ensure each area is explored thoroughly, both primary and secondary research will be gathered to ensure a wide but still manageable spectrum of opinions.
We will use qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying traits and motives that the current system has brought and will further our knowledge on the topic area. To accomplish our qualitative research, we will be using interviews, case studies and observations. The common issues that arise with qualitative analysis are attributed to being more opinion based and thus being more flexible in nature, allowing more biased decisions to be made. Arguably, the flexibility can be attributed to the non-statistical research gathered. However, as discouraging as that sounds, the benefits from qualitative research are typically found to help generate ideas and influencing hypothesis. Qualitative research tends to be more of an interaction between the researchers and the individuals, allowing for the researcher to respond and tailor follow up questions as …show more content…
Already having completed a majority of this during the literature review assignment will provide us with a base, but a continual search will be conducted to find more relevant information. The advantages to using online sources and books are that if any prior research has been done it can be assessed which prevents us from starting with little to no information. A problem with gathering research this way is mainly because it is a secondary source. No doubt it is very helpful and lots of information is available, but it can be challenging to find precise information regarding are exact goals. To reinforce are secondary sources such as case studies we will bridge the gaps with primary
