NTSB: Pilots need air-hazard skills

Source: USA Today, March 9, 2010

“Pilots at airlines receive almost no hands-on training in how to recover from aerodynamic stalls and other extreme scenarios, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The reason for the glaring shortfall is that current flight simulators, the backbone of airline training programs, cannot accurately reproduce such calamities. … Even advocates of the improved simulators say they are not foolproof. For instance, the machines can't reproduce violent motions that a real plane encounters when it goes out of control.”

Objective

  • To develop a unique, state-of-the-art,

complete, and flexible simulation facility at Carleton

– Novel motion platform (large range of motion, easily

controllable, efficient, compact, quiet, electrically actuated, affordable)

– Reconfigurable – Full sensory cueing – HLA compliant (IEEE 1516)
