The Cost

Abstract Advanced jet training still relies on old concepts and solutions that are no longer efficient when considering the current and forthcoming changes in air combat. The cost of those old solutions to develop and maintain combat pilot skills are important, adding even more constraints to the training limitations. The requirement of having a trainer aircraft able to perform also light combat aircraft operational mission is adding unnecessary complexity and cost without any real operational advantages to air combat mission training. Thanks to emerging technologies, the JANUS project will study the feasibility of a brand-new concept of agile manoeuvrable training aircraft and an integrated training system, able to provide a live, virtual and constructive environment. The JANUS concept is based on a lightweight, low-cost, high energy aircraft associated to a ground based Integrated Training System providing simulated and emulated signals, simulated and real opponents, combined with real-time feedback on pilot’s physiological characteristics: traditionally embedded sensors are replaced with emulated signals, simulated opponents are proposed to the pilot, enabling out of sight engagement. JANUS is also providing new cost effective and more realistic solutions for “Red air aircraft” missions, organised in so-called “Aggressor Squadrons”.

Depth Interviews

Pilot training and recruitment is of fundamental importance for the aviation industry. Yet, a number of Commercial Pilot’s License (CPL) applicants trained by Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) fail their airline assessments. To provide some clarity on why this is happening, we conducted in-depth interviews with twelve industry professionals and a detailed documentary analysis was undertaken. We found that the main reasons are: (1) Lack of preparation or technical knowledge; (2) Poor communication skills; and (3) Poor display of teamwork and leadership. The paper suggests that regulation should be implemented for ATO’s to use screening processes on potential students to increase quality or Airline Pilot Standard Multi Crew-Cooperation (APS MCC) system, as an additional training system on top of what is being taught in ATOs. Regulations should further be linked with regular audits in place for smaller airlines to increase the effectiveness of their pilot assessments and recruitment processes in order to increase safety. Areas of further research as also identified.

Abstract The article presents the description of the current systems of training military aircraft pilots. Particular attention has been paid to the trends of change aimed at reducing the cost of purchasing school aircraft and the burden on the entire training and aircraft operation system. Over the past 3 years, the annual Pilot Training Conference in London has dominated the issue of increasing the effectiveness of training pilots of combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle operators. The results of training experiments were presented on this conference, which presented the abandonment of intermediate airplanes training process of military pilots. The results of different researches allowed to state, that on a well-designed school airplane, such as the Pilatus PC-21, one can train both basic and advanced trainings and then train pilots directly to the combat aircraft. Of course, all this training process should be intensively supported by the modern mission simulator of the 5th generation. This allows the thesis to be a future, innovative training system that significantly reduces the training costs of a combat aircraft pilot without affecting the quality of the training.

User Centered

Researchers took a user-centered approach to evaluate pilots’ preferences and perceptions of training with an innovative VR-based immersive training device (ITD). Over the course of one week, usability and user experience data were gathered from U.S. Air Force instructor pilots (IPs), unqualified instructor pilots (UIs),and student pilots (SP). Coming from various squadrons, these pilots provided feedback regarding their interactions with the ITDs. A think-aloud protocol, observations, and surveys were used to capture participants’ perceptions of the different hardware variants using the following usability metrics: fit and feel, function, and sustained and future use. At this stage of the development, various configurations of the ITDs were evaluated to determine which technological components should be included in the final design. The data presented here focused on one of those components, the aircraft control or center stick. The results for the stick component will be discussed as a use case as it illustrates the user-centered approach and data analysis strategy that captured and identified noteworthy differences in perceived training value.

The potential for UAVs to benefit the civilian consumer is driving the demand for the integration of these vehicles into the national airspace. With UAV accidents occurring at a significantly higher rate than commercial airlines, the urgent issue becomes designing systems and protocols that can prevent UAV accidents, better train UAV operators and augment pilot performance. This paper presents three directions of research stemming from the goal of a UAV piloting and training system. Research direction one is the development of a research platform to assess UAV pilot skills and recreate the sensation of shared fate for UAV pilots. The second research direction looks at utilizing flight simulation packages to create virtual tools for training UAV pilots. The third direction covers the investigation of UAV’s in near earth environments as future applications will place UAVs in these areas.

Wide System

Army pilot training requirements, particularly in the helicopter area, are growing rapidly. To meet the increased training load, an Army-wide system of aircraft simulators, known as the Synthetic Flight Training System (SFTS), has been designed and is under development. A feature of the SFTS is the automation of many instructor functions normally associated with training in flight simulators. A portion of the automation involves the application of adaptive training techniques. This paper describes the SFTS and the rationale for the incorporation in it of adaptive training. The selection of appropriate adaptive variables, techniques for error measurement and for providing feedback to trainees, and the adaptive logic employed are discussed.

In this work we present the main lines and the results of a work carried out in the training DEES Quality Safety Environment (DEESQSE) at MIAGE Tangier. This involves determining indicators in order to carry out DEESQSE continuing education. To carry out this work, we used the PDCA method, which we put in interaction with a certain number of quality tools including the Ishikawa diagram. According to the logic of the PDCA, we determined objectives with the contribution of the participants in the training which we declined in the various processes of the training system previously defined. To these objectives, we have associated an action plan. The diagonal connection of the different cycles of the PDCA has enabled us to classify the indicators: Performance indicators Resulting from the “Plan to Control” relationship and steering indicators stemming from the “Act react” relationship. The contribution of the participants through the brainstorming method once again enabled us to identify performance indicators on the one hand and management indicators on the other.
