Study of Capabilities, Necessary Characteristics and Effectiveness of Pilot Ground Trainers. Volume 1. Main Text.
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to test the capabilities, necessary characteristics, and effectiveness of Pilot Ground Trainers in developing primary aeronautical skills, those maneuvers and procedures defined in Federal Air Regulations 61.37, 61.87, 61.117 and appropriate Flight Test Guides, limited to aircraft, single-engine, land. During the first phase of the experiment, 30 subjects were trained to proficiency under part 61.87, fifteen in aircraft only and fifteen in combined ground trainer and aircraft. During the next phase, 20 of the original 30 were trained to proficiency under 61.37 and 61.117, 10 in each group. A third phase of the experiment tested additional subjects in various procedures with varying levels of simulator capability. The results of the experiment show which maneuvers and procedures may be taught effectively and efficiently in a ground trainer. (Author)
