Qualification Guidelines for Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Devices: Private Pilot Certificate

Abstract

As part of the development of qualification guidelines for a personal computer-based aviation training device (PCATD), a task analysis of flight tasks for the private pilot certificate has been completed and is reported in this paper. The primary goal of the task analysis was to identify training device requirements for supporting specific private pilot maneuvers. Before PCATDs can be authorized for use as qualified and approved training devices within a private pilot flight training course, a set of qualification guidelines must be developed for use by the FAA in evaluating such potential training devices. This task analysis constitutes the first steps in the development of those qualification guidelines.
