THE FLIGHT SIMULATOR INSTRUCTOR I was surprised at the lack of activity during the accidents but that it is better to teach them how I took up instructor work on flight simulators, I made http://www.b737.org.uk/sim_instructor.htm
Extractions: STORIES FROM THE HORROR BOX I became gun shy of flight simulators while undergoing a type rating on the Boeing 737-100. The instructor was an irritable pedantic who had risen to the God like status of check captain purely through seniority in the airline rather than any ability to instruct. I had survived over 10,000 hours of varied flying from Tiger Moth to Mustangs to Viscounts, yet my very first session with this buffoon made me feel like an incompetent student pilot. Hardly had I strapped in when he was barking at me to move the heading knob with my left hand and the course indicator with my right hand. Dont look up at the pressurisation panel while flying on instruments less we crash and burn. Always trust the co-pilot to make any radio panel changes less you lose concentration from intercepting the ILS on one engine. Double-checking of navigation aid selection was not part of his vocabulary. The copilot has a rating trust him. Trust the Flight Director it has magic powers beyond your ken and will signal changes of flight path before the human brain can react. This nonsense was pounded into our heads from a character that had spent his entire flying career flying between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. No wonder the poor old flight simulator was called The Horror Box.

NNCC Recommendations For Educational/Recreational Software Could be the foundation for an aerospace or flight club. This is a city building simulation game with an ancient It could be a great activity for a History club http://www.nncc.org/KidSites/soft.mo.html
Extractions: A quick suggestion about the selection process. Use the process as a youth/community development opportunity. Kids love to help "evaluate" games. Make them think about the software. What do they like, dislike, what did they learn, how will they use it? Form a committee force/help them make a group recommendation. Have them do a multimedia presentation/proposal for support to a service club. Perhaps the state office can supply evaluation copies to help with the process.

Extractions: (JSHIP) The Joint Shipboard Helicopter Integration Process (JSHIP) Joint Task Force was chartered to develop and evaluate a standard process for the integration of multi-Service rotorcraft, aircrews, and embarked units aboard air-capable U.S. Navy ships. The JSHIP Joint Task Force conducts flight tests, critical measurements, engineering analyses, and simulations to provide recommended changes to Joint tactics, techniques, and procedures; training syllabi; and rotorcraft/ship designs that will enhance safe, rotorcraft/ship interoperability. Only Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Army helicopters will normally be targeted for schedule inclusion. National Guard assets will also be considered if helicopter type and model are available. Expected products from the JSHIP program include expanded launch and recovery flight envelopes for 12 helicopter/ship combinations and ship certification of 12 specific helicopter/ship pairs. BACKGROUND INFORMATION DOT&E strongly supports the JSHIP program objective to test and document helicopter/ship pair interoperability to support future safe, Joint Service operations. Although the actual DAST evolutions are more developmental than operational tests, the JSHIP program successfully captures multi-Service participation to produce valuable JSHIP products for future operational use. The "legacy" data bases will be of future value. The DIMSS effort to both develop an operational flight trainer and use the software as a tool to support future Dynamic Interface test efforts is a noteworthy and value-added example of successfully integrating modeling and simulation into acquisition, testing and training.

Extractions: In 1940 Rediffusion, whose manufacturing division later became Redifon, built a direction finding trainer for ground operators. This simulated the Bellini-Tosi goniometer DF equipment, whereby two such stations could take a fix on an aircraft transmission and pass the resulting information back to the pilot. A similar trainer was designed to train the operators of VHF stations to give fixes to fighter pilots. However, the most important member of this family of Redifon trainers was the C 100 DF and navigational trainer which was first produced in 1941 to train air crews in the skills of navigation using ground beacons. The equipment had provision for the superimposition of interference such as enemy jamming. Some installations were equipped with sound effects and epidiascopes so that pictures of target areas and other landmarks of importance could be projected in front of the trainer. These installations were known as Crew Procedures Trainers. Well over 100 of the C 100 navigational trainers were built and installed on RAF Bomber Command operational training units and navigational training stations throughout the country and in Canada at the Empire Air Training Stations until the end of the war, plus the small number of trainers installed on USAF stations in this country. In late 1942 Rediffusion were instructed to install this equipment on the first of the American 8th Air Force's stations at Bovingdon, which was known as a crew replacement centre. The American authorities quickly appreciated the benefits of this trainer and requested that it be made to operate with American equipment as installed in the B17 Flying Fortress. In 1943 Rediffusion developed for the American Air Force a Dead Reckoning Navigational Trainer to train up to ten navigators flying in formation. The production model of this trainer, the C500, utilised the C100 and provided hyperbolic Gee fixes with an existing static Gee trainer.
Extractions: By Scott Spangler I f you are considering a professional aviation career, think seriously about the adjective that modifies aviation. "Professional," as defined by the dictionary means, "of, engaged in, or worthy of the high standards of, a profession; designating or of a school, especially a graduate school, offering instruction in a profession." Further consider "professional" as a noun - "a person practicing a profession; a person who engages in some art, sport, etc. for money, especially for his livelihood, rather than as a hobby; a person who does something with great skill." These definitions could have been written with aviation in mind because it definitely has high standards, and the people who meet these standards certainly must exhibit great skill. Aviation professionals are not born, they are educated. With professional aviation's increasingly complex andhigh-technology environment, being an aviation professional, today and in the future, requires more than just knowing how to fly. Few of the major airlines require a collegedegree for employment, but in the past several years more than 95 percent of the pilots hired have at least a four-year college degree. If you want an airline job, you stand a better chance if your among the 95 percent with a degree than the 5 percent without one.

ASU Research E-Magazine: A Dose Of Reality magazine of scholarship and creative activity at Arizona Air Force Lab uses flight simulators to train hardware with new computer simulation programs, says http://researchmag.asu.edu/articles/humanfactor3.html
Extractions: Publication Date: Winter 2004 But in the world of flight simulation, the task of creating realistic computer-animated backdrops and textures is often more complicated than simply adding a dose of realism to the screen. Flight simulators are an essential training tool for pilots of commercial jets and military aircraft. The machines are used to teach basic flying skills to novices and to test the skills of experienced pilots in emergency situations. During his research, Gray studies the ability of simulator operators to estimate the rate at which they will collide with objects (time-to-collision), and how well they judge altitude. He has learned that performance in these areas is greatly impacted by the types of texture applied to objects on the screen. But, even today, because the amount of memory required to add texture to a program is immense, flight simulators still lack realism.
