Abstract:This paper presents arguments in favor of realistic representation of radio communications during training and evaluation of airline pilots in the simulator. A survey of airlines showed that radio communications are mainly role-played by Instructor/Evaluators (I/Es), which increases I/E workload but reduces pilot workload. Opinions gathered from I/Es and the literature indicate that this may lead to inadequate preparation of pilots to handle the complex radio-communications environment encountered in the air. A look at incidents during Initial Operating Experience (IOE) in revenue service via a review of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) give additional support to this hypothesis. The paper concludes with a discussion of industry and airline efforts to find alternative means to provide realistic radio communications.
