An Overview of Literature on Human Factors and Part-task Training with Implications for Visual Simulation in Primary Flight Training

Abstract

Research issues are identified through the application of a conceptual model of human factors interactions in pilot perfonnance. The application of part- task training concepts and methodology shows that simulation has a great potential to address pilot training research design issues. This and new technologies indicate that the best medium for the cost effective application of part-task training methodology would be a computer generated video graphics display. The U.S. college and university aviation programs have all the ingredients on hand to develop this training device and the best minds with which to do it. Appendices hold collections of references for those interested in these subjects.
