A systematic study of all fixed wing pilot training programs at the U.S. Army Aviation School was conducted in fiscal year 1968. The objective was to determine whether training might be made more effective through greater use of synthetic flight training equipment and, if so, to specify the main characteristics of appropriate equipment. Secondary…

Procedures were developed to enable training personnel systematically and objectively to determine the potential utility of training devices for teaching how to perform missions in operational rotary wing aircraft. These procedures allow comparison of task stimulus and response elements with corresponding elements in synthetic training equipment.…

The report describes a study conducted to evaluate Device 2B24, which simulates the UH-1 helicopter and an instrument flight environment, and to determine its suitability for cost-effectively accomplishing the instrument phase of Army rotary wing flight training and facilitating UH-1 helicopter transition training, aviator proficiency evaluation,…
