Functional Design of an Automated Instructional Support System for Operational Flight Trainers.

Abstract : Functional requirements for a highly automated, flexible, instructional support system for aircrew training simulators are presented. Automated support modes and associated features and capabilities are described. Hardware and software functional requirements for implementing a baseline system in an operational flight training context are presented. The importance of an effective man-machine interface is discussed as it relates instructor acceptance and system utility. (Author)
