Presented at the AGARD Conference on Piloted Simulation Effectiveness, held in Brussels, Belgium on 14-17 October 1991 (L'Efficacite de la Simulation Pilotee)
Abstract
The ability of piloted simulators to represent military and civil aviation operational tasks with ever-increasing levels of fidelity is leading to a steady growth in their use for all areas of aviation from new concept studies, through support for development and flight clearance, to training air-crew for complex missions. In all applications of simulation the essential question is 'What level of confidence do I have in this simulator's capabilities to represent the tasks I am going to perform?' This Symposium has brought together papers presenting a variety of experience of the effectiveness of simulation for many of the key areas of applications. Sessions focused on: the use of simulation in aircraft development programmes, including some of the issues raised by the use of simulation as part of flight clearance activities; the use of simulation in developing piloting skills; the use and potential of simulation in full mission training for military roles; the effectiveness of simulation for a variety of research tasks, including developing flying qualities criteria and exploring new concepts. The aim was to give attendees a view of the many contributions made by flight simulators, a change to update their knowledge of the effectiveness of simulation for a wide range of tasks, and a glimpse of the future potential of simulation.
