Description
Postmortem samples from aviation accident pilot fatalities submitted to the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) are toxicologically analyzed, and those analytical findings are stored in a database. This CAMI database was examined for the period of 1999-2003 for the presence of controlled substances of Schedules I-V, prescription and nonprescription drugs, and ethanol in the pilot fatalities. Out of 1629 fatal aviation accidents from which...

Description
This study assessed risk factors for commuting incidents reported by air traffic controllers driving to and from work. Analyses were conducted on responses to a modified version of the Standard Shiftwork Index survey regarding alertness, commuting variables, and driving outcomes. Chi-square tests and odds ratio (OR) risk estimates were computed separately for air traffic controllers in Terminal/Enroute and Flight Service Station options. Reduced mental...

Description
This report is a continuing effort to examine the FAA's color vision standards, focused on understanding how individuals with color deficiencies use color-coded information. First, literature about the effectiveness of color relative to achromatic visual cues was reviewed and synthesized. Next, several algorithms were developed to assess the effects of color for individuals with color deficiencies. Using a computational algorithm that simulates how...

Description
Public Law 92-297, passed in 1971, requires that air traffic control specialists (ATCSs) hired after May 16, 1972 retire at age 56. The underlying rationale was that as controllers aged, the cumulative effects of stress, fatigue (from shift work), and age-related cognitive changes created a safety risk (U.S. House of Representatives, 1971). This hypothesis has been considered in two recent studies of en route operational errors (OEs). The Center for...

Description
This study focuses on the sublimation rate of dry ice packed in commonly encountered amounts. In this study, approximately 5 lb of dry ice, in pellet form, was added to each of 20 pre-weighed TheromoSafe(R) shipping containers. The boxes were then weighed to obtain "preflight" weights and placed in an altitude chamber located at the FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute. The chamber was depressurized to an altitude of 8000 ft at a rate of 1000 ft/min....

Description
In this study, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's human Combined DNA Indentity System (CODIS) loci were used on a rapid, inexpensive microfluidics chip electrophoresis platform to confirm the identity of forensic samples from an aircraft accident site. Absolute allele identification was not achieved with this method, but it was found to be suitable for comparative analysis, as demonstrated by validation of the results and conclusions from cappllary...

Description
"An assay using the Federal Bureau of Investigation's human Combined DNA Identity System (CODIS) primers has been developed for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based human identity testing. Recent forensic literature has identified several human populations that carry a deletion mutation in the Y-chromosome copy of the amelogenin locus. This is the standard locus used for gender determination in CODIS. Additionally, the amelogenin male PCR products...
