Facilities Planning provides the management for programming, planning, design, and

construction of new and remodeled major capital projects in support of the University's
academic mission. We strive for excellence in the planning, design and construction of all
facilities within the University's built and natural environment for the benefit of our students,
faculty, and staff.

Web-based Training

A Pilot's Guide to Ground Icing: A free on-line course primarily intended for pilots who make their own operational de-
icing and anti-icing decisions. This includes private pilots as well as those who fly business, corporate, air taxi, or freight
operations in fixed-wing aircraft.

A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing: A free on-line course primarily intended for the general aviation pilot who flies
aircraft certified for flight in icing, although much of the information is applicable to all pilots. With an operational focus,
this course provides tools pilots can use to deal with in-flight icing.

DVD and Video Training

In-Flight Icing Training for Pilots (Collection I): This disc set contains one DVD with the Icing for General Aviation
Pilots, Icing for Regional and Corporate Pilots, and Tailplane Icing videos and one CD-ROM with A Pilot's Guide
to In-Flight Icing computer-based training.

Media: Multi-disc set (DVD & CD-ROM)

Available through:Sporty's Pilot Shop

Supercooled Large Droplet Icing (2004): This video discusses the phenomenon of supercooled large droplet (SLD)
icing for the professional pilot and other aviation professionals. Topics covered include how SLD icing conditions are
different and exceed those required for aircraft certification; potential performance and handling hazards associated with
SLD ice accretions; visual cues from the flight deck to aid early detection and escape, and finally where and how SLD
forms in the atmosphere to better anticipate this condition.

NASA teamed with the Air Line Pilot's Association (ALPA) the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to develop this video.

Media: DVD (26 min.)

Icing for General Aviation Pilots (2002): Icing for General Aviation Pilots presents practical information to help pilots
avoid ice, detect ice, minimize exposure and safely exit icing conditions during each phase of flight. The effects of icing
on aircraft performance, control upsets (wing and tail stalls), and recovery procedures are also discussed.

A series of realistic scenarios are presented as we follow two pilots, Rona and Greg, from pre-flight planning through the
approach and landing phases of flight. Rona is piloting a light twin engine aircraft with ice protection equipment, and
Greg is piloting a single engine aircraft without ice protection equipment.

NASA teamed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)
Air Safety Foundation to develop this video.

Media: DVD or VHS tape (55 min.)

Available through: Sporty's Pilot Shop

Icing for Regional & Corporate Pilots (1999): This training video is intended primarily for pilots of turboprop aircraft.
This video discusses ice protection systems, how ice builds up on the aircraft and the symptoms thereof, the effects of
ice on both the performance degradation and handling qualities, suggested recovery techniques from a roll or pitch
upset and the hazard of Supercooled Large Droplets (SLD).

NASA teamed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Air Line Pilotís Association (ALPA) to develop this
video.

Media: DVD or VHS tape (37 min.)

Tailplane Icing (1998): This video provides information about ice-contaminated horizontal stabilzers. It presents a
physical description of the tailplane icing problem, symptoms of ice contamination and suggested recovery procedures.
This video was produced as a result of insights gained from the NASA/FAA Tailplane Icing Program.

Media: DVD or VHS tape (23 min.)

Computer-based Training

A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing (2002): A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing is a multimedia computer-based training
program which contains practical information for professional pilots who encounter icing conditions during commercial
operations.

This comprehensive program presents professional pilots with operational information and tools to avoid ice, detect ice,
minimize exposure, and strategies to exit icing conditions during each phase of flight. The effects of icing on aircraft
performance, control upsets (wing and tail stalls), and recovery procedures are also discussed.

This self-guided training aid contains imagery captured on NASA Icing Research flights, animation, pilot testimonials,
case studies, and interactive demonstrators. In addition, interactive exercises allow the user to assess his or her
operational understanding of key points.

Media: CD-ROM (PC & Mac Compatible)

The use of training aids greatly increases the involvement of any class. They are especially
helpful when the audience has absolutely no interest in being in the class, but they are forced
to because it's mandatory for all employees, students, etc. A training aid can simplify
complex situations, provide stimulation to any of the senses to increase involvement, and fill
up time when there isn't enough worthy material to straight lecture on.

I use a Lego simulation to show how lean manufacturing improves the bottom line over
traditional manufacturing. The example is of course exaggerated starting with the boss (me)
yelling at everyone to hurry up, there's inventory everywhere, and the people with the easiest
jobs look like heroes. This example takes a boring subject and make's it enjoyable well a few
points will hopefully stick. This class is now anticipated by new employees because they hear
how much fun it is.

To improve stimulation you could spruce up a boring PowerPoint presentation. I took one on
foreign object debris in the aerospace industry and added video examples of real accidents
caused by the debris, audio statements from engineers in our shop on the production
problems debris has caused us, a joke video of a furnace operator explaining how bad it is for
furnaces as she puts everything under the sun in the furnace, and a "can you find the debris?"
game. The same subject matter is covered, but it's a lot more entertaining now.

These games, videos, examples, music, and other training aids will improve retention,
attendance, and involvement in your training programs. They may take more effort up front
to produce, but it will make the instructor's job easier each time he or she teaches the class.
However, if the class isn't important enough to put the effort in, maybe you shouldn't have the
training day in the first place.
Strategies for Conflict Resolution

• Prevent conflict through mandate or separation of the parties

• Set limits on the timing and extent of the conflict

• Help the parties to cope differently with the conflict

• Attempt to eliminate or resolve the basic issues in the conflict

Resolving Intergroup Conflict

• Groups and consultant convene to address issues

• Groups are asked to address 3 questions

1. What qualities/attributes best describe our group?

2. What qualities/attributes best describe their group?

3. How do we think the other group will describe us?

• Groups exchange and clarify answers

• Groups analyze the discrepancies and work to understand their

contribution to the perceptions

• Groups discuss discrepancies and contributions

• Groups work to develop action plans on key areas
