Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator (TFPS)
Abstract
The Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator (TFPS) is a certified transportable flight trainer featuring a high fidelity visual display, detailed cockpit representation and motion cueing seats. It is capable of training mission tasks and emergency procedures and provides a cost savings when compared to using aircraft for these purposes. The TFPS will increase safety and mitigate risk to Block II Limited User Test (LUT) aircrews by allowing pilots to train aircraft differences in modifications, handling qualities, performance and human factors considerations before actual flight is performed. Training in the TFPS reduces LUT timelines and improves aircrew proficiency as confirmed in the CH-47F (Block I) Phase 2 User Test Report. The initial Block II TFPS will also serve as building block for upgrading the fielded TFPSs to the Block II configuration.
