Effectiveness of a Personal Computer Aviation Training Device, a Flight Training Device, and an Airplane in Conducting Instrument Proficiency Checks. Volume 2. Objective Pilot Performance Measures Final technical rept

摘要

This research was prompted by the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) No. 61-126 (1997), which authorized the use of a Personal Computer Aviation Training Device (PCATD) to be used for 10 of the 15 hours authorized for an approved ground training device, but not for Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPCs). The research was supported under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cooperative agreement DFTA2001-G-037 with the Institute of Aviation, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, during September 2001-November 2004. The study was sponsored by FAA Headquarters Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and Commercial Division. Dennis B. Beringer, Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI), served as the contracting officers technical representative. This report is Volume 2 of a two-volume final report. It is in the process of review and approval and is not at present an official FAA document. Consequently, the views expressed herein do not necessarily represent official FAA positions. Volume 1 covered results obtained from subjective pilot performance measures by certified flight instructors, instrument (CFII), who conducted the IPC flights for the study participants. This volume (Vol. 2) will describe objective pilot performance measures developed for the project and the results that they yielded. Published reports and presentations of the work on development of objective pilot performance measures are listed in this document.
