| Abstract | The document is concerned with the several kinds of flight simulators available today which are valuable tools for research, training and proficiency determination. They range from simple trainer type devices, which are useful for the learning of specific tasks, to very sophisticated ground-based facilities and aircraft used for crew training under simulated environmental and operational conditions. The various perceptual phenomena and performance modes observed indicate that it is not physical similarity of the devices but psychologic, physiologic, and operational realism which determine fidelity in simulation. In general, the amount of transfer of training appears to be closely related to the degree of fidelity which can be provided. |
