KINETIC CUEING IN SIMULATED CARRIER APPROACHES

Abstract

Pairs of matched pilots were trained using a flight simulator in a carrier-landing maneuver under two conditions--kinetic and static. The two conditions were identical except that in the kinetic mode cockpit motion was provided. Kinetic cueing significantly improved performance in terms of percentage of successful landings, altitude error, time outside the flight path, and variability of pilot inputs. The statically trained group showed a decrement in performance which persisted throughout training and transferred to the criterion flights which involved cockpit motion. Results clearly indicate that kinetic cueing is a valuable and desirable adjunct to flight airborne simulation systems.
