PROJECTS:
Simulator FidelityRegulatory changes in response to today's airline pilot training and evaluation needs push the twin issues of effectiveness and affordability of flight simulators for use by U.S. airlines to the forefront. The Volpe Center is conducting two FAA sponsored research programs with high pay-off potential in this area, investigating flight simulator motion fidelity requirements and flight simulator operational environment fidelity requirements. The motion fidelity requirements research program specifically examines the effect of platform motion on pilot training and evaluation. The operational environment fidelity requirements research program, which currently focuses on realistic radio communications simulation, examines the effect of current environment simulation practices and technology on crews and instructors/evaluators.
