Quantitative pilot evaluation during training
A device for pilot training includes a memory, an interface, and one or more processors. The memory is configured to store at least one computational model of at least one human sensory system. The interface is configured to receive sensor data and aircraft state data from a flight simulator. The sensor data includes pilot activity data and motion data. The motion data is indicative of detected motion of a simulated aircraft of the flight simulator. The processor(s) are configured to process the motion data and the pilot activity data based on the at least one computational model to predict a pilot estimated aircraft state. The processor(s) are configured to determine an estimated error based on a comparison of the pilot estimated aircraft state and a detected aircraft state. The aircraft state data indicates the detected aircraft state. The processor(s) are configured to provide the estimated error to a second device.
STATE DEPENDENT MOTION CUEING
A motion cueing system for a flight simulator includes a motion system controller configured to generate actuation commands for a movable simulator platform. The actuation commands are based on at least one of: an absolute attitude of a simulated aircraft; or a weighted function of a groundspeed of the simulated aircraft.
FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A flight simulation system for enabling g-force training includes a seating system, a sensor arrangement, and a controller. The seating system is configured for accommodating a human occupant and for providing thereto physically simulated flight conditions corresponding to predetermined real flight conditions, the predetermined real flight conditions including g-forces, wherein the physically simulated flight conditions include application of non-g forces to the human occupant corresponding to the g-forces, and wherein the g-forces are considered sufficient to provide g-force induced physiological stress to the human occupant. The sensor arrangement is configured for providing real-time feedback data of predetermined physiological parameters of the human occupant, in operation of the flight simulation system with the human occupant accommodated in the seating system, wherein the predetermined physiological parameters are indicative of the g-force induced physiological stress. The controller is configured for controlling the seating system to provide the physically simulated flight conditions.
