Discussion focuses on the extent and impact of human factors in simulator training.
Topics from flight crew training, evaluation, effectiveness, and simulator sickness are examined in detail. This will be accomplished by exposing the students to the basic components of human behavior relevant to flight simulation as understood and studied by experimental, cognitive, and perceptual psychologists, as well as human factors engineers. The students will be shown how knowledge of the human performance can and has been applied to improve total simulator system performance. The students will be exposed to the relevant research literature. Identify basic human factors issues in flight simulation.
