Helicopter In-Flight Simulation Development and Use in Test Pilot Training

Abstract

The U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTps) trains pilots, flight officers and engineers in the technical and managerial skills necessary to conduct aircraft and airborne systems test and evaluation. An integral part of this training is the use of ground and in-flight simulators to demonstrate the effects of varying aircraft flying qualities parameters. The USNTPS has developed specialized simulation facilities to meet the unique training requirements. This paper describes the development of a Variable Stability and Control (VSC) system installed in an SH-60B helicopter as a specialized training aid for use at the USNTPS. The development of the VSC system is traced from requirements through syllabus introduction.
