DEGRADATION OF LEARNED SKILLS Static Practice Effectiveness for Visual Approach and Landing Skill Retention

摘要

The effectivess of an improved static retraining method was evaluated for a simulated space vehicle approach and landing under instrument and visual flight conditions. Experienced pilots were trained and then tested after 4 months without flying to compare their performance using the improved method with three methods previously evaluated. Use of the improved static retrying method resulted in no practical or significant skill degradation and was found to be even more effective than methods using dynamic presentation of visual cues. The results suggested that properly structured open-loop methods of flight control task retraining are feasible.
