"The U.S. Army uses the 2B24 Synthetic Flight Training System (SFTS) for the Instrument Phase of Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) training. The SFTS is an instrument simulator, mounted on a hydraulic motion platform, with no visual system. Its technology dates from the late 1960s. Its cockpit represents the UH-1, which has been replaced by the TH-67 training helicopter. The Army is concerned with the age, complexity and costs of the SFTS, at a time when PC- based simulators, like the Frasca 342 Primary Skills Trainer (PST) are available. The PST's cockpit represents the TH-67 helicopter. It has a visual display, but no motion system. Thirty-eight IEAW students were assigned to experimental (PST) or control (SFTS) groups. After 30 hr of simulator training, both groups completed 20 hr training in the TH-67. No students were eliminated or set back to later classes. Few significant differences in performance were noted, though SFTS trainees were more likely to indicate that training in the simulator had hindered performance in the aircraft. The PST seemed inferior to the SFTS in trim control. The research demonstrated that IERW students could learn instrument skills in a simpler, more economical simulator without hydraulic controls or a motion system."--DTIC.
In the past, collective training requirements have been defined in terms of the mission, mission segments, or broad functions that an Army aviation unit must learn to perform as a group. It is impossible to infer from these broad task descriptions the specific knowledge and skills that can be acquired only through collective training. Without a clear understanding of these requisite knowledge and skills, it is impossible to make prudent decisions about the level of realism that is required for each component of a collective training simulator. This white paper describes the nature of the problem and describes the authors' views about the unique knowledge and skills that can be acquired and sustained only through collective training exercises. All comments are airmed at the training requirements for the Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator (ARMS) and development of the U.S. Army National Guard Bureau (USANGB).-- P.i.
Two studies were conducted to evaluate a fixed-wing instrument procedures training device and to develop a training program for use with the device. In the first study, a group of trainees at the U.S. Army Aviation School who recieved synthetic instrument flight training with the new device were compared with a control group of trainees who did not. The second study was concerned with development and evaluation of an instrument flight training program designed especially for use with the new device. It appears that the training concepts have application to other programs utilizing training devices. (Modified author abstract).
