Feasibility Study for a Static Aircraft Flight.

Abstract

The feasibility of embedding training software in modern flight aircraft to maintain pilot proficiency while parked was investigated. Candidate training scenarios critical to pilot performance were identified. Feasibility was demonstrated based on current and projected capabilities of the AYK-14 mission computers performing the weapons and navigation calculations in the Navy's F/A-18 Hornet. It was shown that the version 6 AYK-14 computer with dual single card processors (SCP's) would provide a suitable host for training software. The F/A-18 avionic and display systems are also shown to support the SAFES (Static Aircraft Flight Environment Simulator) concept. A number of candidate SAFES implementations are defined and one selected for feasibility demonstration remove fastener. (Author)
