• Abstract:
  Recent advances in the capabilities of personal computers have resulted in an increase in the number of flight simulation programs made available as Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Devices (PCATDs).The potential benefits of PCATDs have been recognized by researchers and software/hardware developers alike. The purpose of this report is twofold: 1) present a conceptual approach based upon human learning principles and available flight training data for use in the development and evaluation of PCATDs; and 2) provide a detailed technical plan for an initial effort to develop and test guidelines for assessing the use of PCATDs in a training curriculum of a flight school conducted in accordance with the regulations stated in FAR Part 141.
