Development of Simulator Instructional Feature Design Guides.

Abstract

A project to develop guides for the design of simulator instructional features is described. Twelve instructional features, e.g., record/playback, automatic demonstration, and freeze, appropriate to a fighter/attack type aircraft simulator were identified. Information concerning each feature was obtained through observation of simulator instructional activities and review of training requirements and practices. The types of pilots likely to undergo training in a fighter/attack aircraft were examined to identify learner related simulator design requirements. A guide format was developed that would permit organization of pertinent information in a manner useful to simulator design personnel. The guides were reviewed by personnel involved in the development of both aircraft and non-aircraft simulators and were judged useful as a mechanism for clarifying design requirements, communicating between training and simulator design personnel, highlighting design shortfalls, and clarifying simulator testing requirements.
