E-4B Full Motion Flight Deck Simulator

Abstract

E-4B Full Motion Flight Deck Simulator program will develop an E-4B full motion 747-200 flight crew simulator, configured to represent the E-4B cockpit configuration for the pilot and flight engineer stations and be representative of day and night aerial refueling with simulation of fuel on-load characteristics. The Simulator is necessary to meet operational flight training requirements and fill a critical training gap for pilots and flight engineers once the already limited current training options are decommissioned. This training capability shortfall will directly impact E-4B flight operations and aircraft availability as use of the aircraft for this purpose reduces already limited aircraft availability required for operational missions resulting in insufficient flight time for pilots to maintain certifications.
