"This research has two main phases. Phase 1 investigated three major questions: 1) Do video weather training products significantly affect general aviation (GA) pilot weather knowledge and flight behavior in marginal meteorological conditions? 2) How are modern Web-based weather products used during GA preflight briefing? 3) Do local Oklahoma GA pilots differ appreciably from other pilots in either weather knowledge or weather-related flight behavior?...

2) The influence of visibility, cloud ceiling, financial incentive, and personality factors on general aviation pilots' willingness to take off into marginal weather: Part 1,The data and preliminary conclusions

"The primary purpose of Phases 1 and 2 of this research was to test the effects of video weather training products on weather related risk-taking. During the investigation, two unexpected observations were made: (1) Despite specific instructions to fly visual-flight-rules-only (VFR), nine of 50 Phase 1 pilots spent more than 10 min in simulated instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), plus three of those nine repeated that behavior in Phase 2;...
