GEOGRAPHIC ORIENTATION IN AIRCRAFT PILOTS: METHODOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT.
Abstract
The report describes a revision in a cinema method of simulating low-altitude flight. Cockpit instruments used in dead reckoning were activated and synchronized with the motion picture scene. The throttle control was linked to the projector motor to provide the pilot with control of the simulated speed of the aircraft. An automated response system was devised to provide more accurate performance measurement, and the experimental procedure was revised to provide a more effective practice session prior to test sessions. A methodological study showed that the new experimental method improved geographic orientation in pilots during simulated flight. (Author)
