Abstract:

In order to enhance the flight training capabilities of trainees, identify and evaluate flight trainees' situational awareness, an index system for evaluating flight trainees' situational awareness was established based on grounded theory. The combined weights were calculated using game theory to integrate subjective weights, which were determined by the G1 method, and objective weights, which were derived from the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation(CRITIC) method improved by the coefficient of variation method. Subsequently, a combined weighting cloud model was proposed: the digital characteristic values of the evaluation indices were input into a cloud generator to obtain situational awareness ratings, and the model was verified for the use of an example to evaluate the situation awareness of a flight trainee. The results indicate that the cloud model can comprehensively evaluate the situational awareness of flight trainees. The overall situational awareness of Trainee A was rated as excellent. Among the indicators, the flight discipline metric yielded the best evaluation result, contributing significantly to the maintenance of situational awareness. The flight operation skills metric was rated between the best and the poorest, while the professional knowledge indicator received the lowest score. Major deficiencies were identified in two primary evaluation indicators, emergency handling capability and adaptability to operational environments, which were found to adversely affect the maintenance of situational awareness.

Key words: flight trainee, situational awareness assessment, combination weighting, cloud model, flight training
