As part of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) initiative
towards affordable flight simulators for U.S. commuter airlines,
this study empirically examined the effect of six-degree-of-freedom
simulator platform motion on recurrent pilot training and
evaluation in the presence of a wide field-of-view visual system.
Sound scientific data on the relationship between the motion
requirement and its effect on the transfer of pilot
performance/behavior to and from the airplane is all the more
important given that the FAA may mandate the use of simulators for
airline pilot training and evaluation. The study addressed the
question of whether the motion provided by an FAA qualified Level C
simulator affects 1) pilot performance/behavior and instructor
grading criteria during First Look evaluation,2) the courseof
Trainingin the simulator, and 3) the Transfer of skills acquired
during Training in the simulator with or without motion to the
simulator with motion as a stand-in for the airplane. Every effort
was made to avoid deficiencies in the research design identified in
a review of prior studies, by measuring pilot stimulation
andresponse, testing both maneuvers and pilots that are
diagnosticof a need of motion, avoiding pilot and instructor bias,
and ensuring sufficient statistical powerto capture operationally
relevant effects.
