EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATED FLIGHT SIMULATOR TRAINING IN PROMOTING B-52 CREW COORDINATION

Abstract

This report represents the findings of a study designed to assess the value of a B-52 flight simulator electronically linked to a T-2a navigator trainer in promoting crew coordination. Seventy-five SAC aircrews undergoing B-52 transition training at Castle Air Force Base were used as subjects. Integrated and non-integrated simulator training of these crews was contrasted. The results as indicated by certain of the measures used enable a favorable recommendation to be made regarding the effectiveness of the B-52 integrated crew trainer. Special attention is devoted to a discussion of two aspects of communication, pattern and volume, and the relation of these aspects to crew coordination.
