Operational Tryout of a General Purpose Simulator.
Abstract
The operational effectiveness of a general purpose simulator (GPS) was evaluated in a technical training course. GPS, in this context, refers to a computer based, programmable device that can be rather easily modified with varying levels of fidelity. A simulation model was designed for use in instructing students in checkout and troubleshooting procedures for a sophisticated aircraft radar system. Evaluation results clearly showed that the stimulator was an effective training device: (a) training was at least as adequate as training received on an actual equipment trainer (AET) used in the course, (b) the simulator was much less expensive and more reliable than the AET, and (c) the simulator had the additional capability of training troubleshooting tasks.
