N-v-M Prototype Trainer: Requirements Analysis Report
Abstract
The objectives of this analysis are to: (a) identify the critical pilot HOTAS tasks and skills which need to be improved and/or maintained when deployed, (b) define the training requirements for the device that will meet the needs of the fleet, and (c) develop a preliminary specification that functionally defines the trainer and its capabilities. The F/A-18 aircraft was designed with a Hands on Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) system to allow the pilot to control a wide variety of weapons, sensors and displays during critical mission phases while still maintaining flight control of the aircraft. In other words, the HOTAS concept enables the pilot to keep his hands on the power and flight controls and still perform his mission operations effectively.
