Tactical Performance Characterization Applied to Student Pilots

摘要

The purpose of this effort was to develop new methods for characterizing important features of pilot tactical performance for display at the instructor/operator stations of flight simulators. In particular, the work involved developing a technique for computing the weight (importance) a pilot assigns various performance criteria. Phase I involved developing the techniques and methods to be used. An AML pseudopilot with fixed weights was utilized as the pilot to be modeled. A modified AML program using observations of the actions of the pseudopilot without access to the weights of the pseudopilot calculated the weights used by the pseudopilot. Phase II involved the application of the method to human pilot data collected on the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat at Luke AFB.
