situation awareness vs. situational awareness
The terms are used inconsistently in the article. They are not technically the same. Situation is a noun and situational is an adjective. I believe that situation awareness is the correct term, but I have never made edits before and wanted some confirmation before making the changes. --

I agree, the article does not infer its broad range. When I think of "Situation Awareness", what comes to mind is "an individual being aware of his or her surroundings before they act or fail to act" example: you are attending a sports game between two crosstown rivals and you end up in the opposing team bleachers.

In every Situational Awareness training refresher I have had (which is annually) it's called "Situational Awareness." In fact in my annual training and in my chainsaw safety training which is also annual, it's called "Situational Awareness."
So it appears to me that both terms are used globally, interchangably.

Edit: I should add some examples in the emergency medial arena and in the chainsaw arena.

Yes, but grammatically "situational awareness" is correct because the adjective describes the noun. By contrast, "situation awareness" would have a noun describing a noun, which makes no sense. Furthermore,
"situational awareness" gets 2,510,000 Google search results while
"situation awareness" gets only 445,000. Thus,
WP:COMMONNAME states this article should be moved back to the former. I will request administrator assistance because a redirect currently stands in the way of the necessary move. –

This appears to be a British/American English difference and requires a full move discussion.

Am having difficulty in finding any clear British/American English difference. But, just for the record, Google search gives about 684,000 results "situation awareness" and about 3,520,000 results for "situational awareness". So maybe a move of the article title is justified?

It's not really an issue, anyone looking for the page will find it regardless, I don't see that it matters, no need to change anything.

I'd agree there's no real possibility of confusion, But
WP:COMMONNAME says "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." I'm no fan of being enslaved to Google search but I think suggest a ratio of about 7:1 is quite telling. I ealise that redirects mean a reader will never get lost, but we'd never use redirects to justify, say, a spelling mistake in a title, would we?

Editing more details on relationship between situational awareness and pilot error
I believe I can expand more about the impacts of situation awareness on pilots. I can write about the effects of cockpit environment and other external and internal environmental factors.
It is interesting that the research PDF mentions luck as being a factor.

Interesting that Wei et al (2013) chose to measure SA directly using
SAGAT and heart-rate, while Guk-Ho et al 2012 used only indirect methods -
Modified Cooper-Harper, heart-rate and trail success/failure.

No longer stub class
With a number of editors providing improvements, the extant article is no longer STUB class, I think it warrants B now. Also importance from Low to Mid seems to be appropriate.

Another suitable reference
The Amtrak derailment was caused by a loss of situational awareness and a lack of Positive Train Control, as
Covered In This Article which would be a suitable reference or segment in its own right.

Promotion -- National Information Sharing Consortium
The recent addition of "National Information Sharing Consortium" appears to be blatant promotion. It needs to be re-worded. @
