Design Guidelines for Trainer Instructor/Operator Stations.

Abstract

The application of advanced display and control technology to training device design has often resulted in an instructor/operator interface which is not optimum. Recent reviews of operational trainers have revealed a variety of problems. Most of them are attributed to the lack of application of existing human engineering/interface criteria and the failure to extend the system's approach to the instructor/operator interface design and implementation. Surveys were conducted of operational trainers. A design guide was developed which outlines both procedures and data required at various milestones throughout the life cycle of a major training device/simulator to achieve an effective interface. Summaries of instructional features, display and control panel abbreviations and general instructor/operator station functional requirements were also developed. (Author)
