Abstract:Recent regulatory action, coupled to a policy of encouraging commuter airlines to conduct all pilot training and checking activities in ground based equipment, has created an impetus to consider how best to ameliorate the conditions which have discouraged the use of such equipment for pilot recurrent training by commuter airlines in the United States. This paper compares the relative merits of permitting additional recurrent training credit for enhanced flight training devices versus revising the qualification standards for Level B full flight simulators to achieve enhanced affordability. The current status of an ongoing Level B flight simulator qualification standards review, results to date, and future plans, including plans for the development of a comprehensive applied research program, are discussed.
