Abstract This research report describes: (1) the FAA's ATP airman certification system; (2) needs of the system regarding simulator use; (3) a systematic methodology for meeting these needs; (4) application of the methodology; (5) results of the study; and (6) conclusions. The methodology developed is Airman Certification Systems Development, or ACSD. Application of ACSD entailed a systematic study of the airman certification process. The study produced behaviorally define evaluation and training objectives; sensory cue and behavioral analyses to support these objectives; and a statement of media requirements based on the objectives and behavioral and cueing data. This report provides comprehensive documentation of the results of the ACSD methodology as a tool to analyze simulator use in FAA airline transport pilot certification.
