Although most meteorological radar and flight augmentation computers have avionic system wind shear alarms, the preferred approach is that pilots avoid unsafe wind shear events. Therefore, effective pilot competency evaluations are needed to assess pilots\u2019 abilities to deal with these events. This study developed a wind shear operation competency model that includes observable behavior indicators, sub-task decomposition, and competency check items. An adapted competency model and a quantitative data-driven competency evaluation criteria optimization method were then developed using three-dimensional competency feature modeling, after which wind shear simulation flight training data were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The competency assessment grades were significantly correlated with the results from experienced examiners with a 93.33% evaluation accuracy. The proposed quantitative data-driven competency assessment method can provide effective pilot competency assessments for a range of aviation meteorological threats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/aerospace11050363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T14:26:11Z","timestamp":1715005571000},"page":"363","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Wind Shear Operation-Based Competency Assessment Model for Civil Aviation Pilots"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1440-4658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CAAC Key Laboratory of Civil Aviation Flight Technology and Flight Safety, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan 618307, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuezhi","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAAC Key Laboratory of Civil Aviation Flight Technology and Flight Safety, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan 618307, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiayuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan 618307, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiyun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flight Standards Department, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan 618307, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mingda","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flight Department, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai 201100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAAC Key Laboratory of Civil Aviation Flight Technology and Flight Safety, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan 618307, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1016\/j.infrared.2018.07.033","article-title":"Airport low-level wind shear lidar observation at Beijing Capital International Airport","volume":"96","author":"Zhang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Infrared Phys.
