Abstract This report is a summarization of the proceedings of a joint industry FAA conference on the development and use of PC-based aviation training devices (PCATDs) that was held June 16-17, 1994, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Attendees to the conference included representatives from the PC development community, various universities conducting aviation training research, and the FAA. The primary purpose of the conference was to provide a forum of open dialog among interested PCATD parties, with the aim of finding common ground or areas of consensus, through which progress can be made in reducing or resolving any differences m viewpoint. Aside from the welcoming addresses by FAA representatives, the conference consisted of volunteered presentations by attendees, followed by open discussion of the points made by the presenter. A variety of topics were discussed and an attempt was made to let points and contentions be explored to the extent the group wished to pursue them. No attempt was made to provide a verbatim reproduction of the content of presentations and discussions. However, a concerted effort was made to capture the essence of each presenter's position, to accurately paraphrase major points, and to include brief summaries of group discussions through the insertion of editor's notes.
