Advanced Training Features: Bridging the Gap Between In-Flight and Simulator-Based Models of Flying Training.
Abstract
An overview of advanced training features in flying training simulation is presented as well as a conceptual framework for distinguishing between enabling and instructional features. Reported shortcomings in the training of simulator instructor/operator personnel are seen as resulting in part from the rapid transition from in-flight to simulator-based training and in part from the absence of a behavioral conceptualization of the flying task itself. It is suggested that the area in which the flight simulator may be most effectively exploited lies in its capability for allowing the instructor to alter the basic structure of the task itself for the purpose of applying recognized learning principles and methods. Data on the effective application of backward chaining to a 30 degree dive bombing task are presented. (Author)
