Benefits Estimation for Simulation Systems Used for Aircrew Training in a Multiship Environment

Abstract

A general model for the benefit evaluation of multiship training simulation systems is presented. The benefit measures derived are oriented toward allowing benefit-cost evaluations of proposed alternative simulation systems. The model is based on empirical data drawn from evaluation studies of simulators as well as analytical approaches. The focus of the approach using this model is selecting the most appropriate and economic simulators for use at the operational level. The model does not attempt to compare, or justify the comparison of, the training value of a specific simulator versus a specific aircraft. The model allows for full sensitivity analysis and variation of all important parameters. A set of LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheets are presented which facilitate the use of the model. The model is demonstrated by means of an application which is based on actual data. Aircrew training, Flight simulators, Simulation systems, Benefits, Models, Simulators, Costs, Multiship. Training
