Flight Simulator Maintenance Training: Potential Use of State-of-the-Art Simulation Techniques.
Abstract
A study was undertaken to evaluate the potential application of state-of-the-art simulation technology to the area of maintenance training. The vehicle of the study was the 341XX career field, which is concerned with the maintenance of digital flight simulators. An analysis was performed on the types of maintenance tasks, especially troubleshooting tasks, performed by technicians in the field. An analysis was also done on the technical school training for this career field. Two technical school courses were the focus of study: Digital Flight Simulator Specialty (341X4) and Digital Navigation/Tactics Training Devices Specialty (341X6). The results of the task analysis and training analysis were used in a study to determine the types of simulation training approaches that would be most suitable for supporting the assessed training needs. Three training concepts were developed to support the types of maintenance skills and knowledges required in the 341XX career field. Air Force personnel then selected two of these training concepts of translation into prime item development specifications. (Author)
