Pilots' performances optimizing in complex simulated environment: Contribution of longitudinal component of virtual flight

Abstract

This paper provide the latest developments in high level integrating of two different sides of pilots' performances optimizing in virtual environment. First one focuses on the assessment of the contribution of the longitudinal component of the virtual flight in the performance optimizing process. The other one is oriented to modeling the contribution of physiological profiling data in performance improvement. Two different approaches need to be considered: one concerning the dedicated system able to carry out the all the tasks required by performances improving and other in charged with modeling the data showing the contribution of the longitudinal component of the virtual flight (assisted by physiological data) in performance improving process. An entirely new specially designed expert system for high precision assessments of aircraft piloting abilities provided the useful data. It is based on a multi-stream data acquisition and processing system, able to integrate the simulated flight environment with virtual flights and physiological data. As a direct result, new models of the piloting abilities are implemented. Even more, a solid basis for the decision-making process for setting the pilots' hierarchy for admittance to specific flight training programs is provided. Data analyzed and results emerged from the system recorded performance parameters.
