Describe the research design, participants or data sources, instruments, procedures, data collection techniques, analytical methods, and relevant ethical considerations in sufficient detail for scholarly assessment.
04. Results
Present the principal findings objectively and systematically. Use tables and figures where they improve the presentation of evidence, avoiding unnecessary repetition of numerical results.
05. Discussion
Interpret the findings in relation to the research objectives, relevant literature, and applicable aviation practices. Discuss theoretical or practical implications, acknowledge limitations, and avoid claims that exceed the evidence.
