The Role of Adaptive Supplemental Visual Cuing in Flight Simulation.

Abstract

The utility of adaptive visual cues for instructing an approach-to-landing task in a personal computer-based flight simulator was tested. Flight naive subjects in a control group trained with reference to a visual display that consisted of horizon, runway outline, runway centerline and touchdown aimpoint. Two experimental groups trained with glidepath and heading cues augmenting the display either constantly or adaptively. A simulator-to-simulator transfer-of-training design found no significant differences between instructional methods. Because other research had found adaptive cueing to be beneficial in transfer, implications of the differences in design considerations such as visual display field of view and the amount or content of subject pre-training is discussed and related to this study.
