An Assessment of the Role of Simulators in Military Tactical Flight Training. Volume II. Assessment Based on Literature Survey.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the use of simulators in military tactical flight training. The assessment was made on the basis of information obtained from a literature survey and a survey of individuals in industry and government agencies who are knowledgeable about flight simulators, military tactical flight training and related matters. Forty six organizations were visited during the survey. Assessments are made of the use of simulators for training the following flight phases or tasks: cockpit procedures, instrument flight, emergency procedures, takeoff and landing, formation flight, aerial refueling, dynamic failures, ground attack, training of maneuver limits, recovery from uncontrolled flight, air combat and nonpilot crew stations. Other aspects of the use of simulators for aircrew training are discussed and problem areas requiring research and development effort are identified.
