Measurement of Flight Performance in a Flight Simulator.

Abstract

Performance evaluation is an essential part of effective instructional research. The evaluation of complex psycho-motor performances is difficult because they are typically transitory; there is no permanent record, trace, or product after the performance is completed to indicate the characteristics of the performance. The performance of student pilots in the flight simulator or in the aircraft exemplifies the difficulties stemming from the complexity of the task and from the transitory nature of performance transiency. This report describes the results of a methodological study carried out to solve these problems for the purpose of evaluating student pilot performance in a flight simulator.
