According to Hancock and Flach, though, improving sensitivity to local or global information requires specialized training and experience. In this regard, Hancock and Flach advise that, "The workup period on a carrier flight deck can be viewed as an opportunity to build and to explore the (information) environment of the workspace. It develops a form of experiential knowledge through legitimate peripheral participation" (p. 441). Such training can be provided through on-the-job experiences or through specialized simulation scenarios (Hancock & Flach, 1999). Conclusion

The research indicated that a carrier flight deck is an extremely hazardous working environment. The...

The research also showed that failures in these systems can be catastrophic, making the need for ongoing specialized on-the-job and simulated training all the more important.
