“…These capabilities, some of which are listed in Table 1, are known as Advanced Instructional Features (AIFs). The list was compiled from several sources, but it was drawn primarily from Semple, Cotton, and Sullivan's (1981) extensive report describing the AIF capabilities of various military and commercial devices. Instructional features are expensive to implement, especially those features that require the development of complex software.…”

Modern aircrew training devices (ATDs) are equipped with sophisticated hardware and software capabilities, known as advanced instructional features (AIFs), that permit a simulator instructor to prepare briefings, manage training, vary task difficulty/fidelity, monitor performande, and provide feedback for flight simulation training missions. The utility and use of the AIF capabilities of Air Force ATDs were explored by means of a survey of 534 simulator instructors from Air Training Command, Military Airlift Command, Strategic Air Command, and Tactical Air Command training sites. The primary purpose of the survey was to provide a database that could be used in defining the requirements for ATD procurement and in developing future ATD training programs. The results indicated that, in general, the features that were rated highest were those used for training management, variation of task difficulty/fidelity, and monitoring student performance. The level of AIF use was affected somewhat by hardware and/or software unreliability, implementation time, functional limitations, and design deficiencies. However, the presumed training value of an AIF was the most important determinant of its use. Recommendations were made concerning the AIF capabilities of future ATDS and research aimed at determining the principles of effective AIF use. The survey instruments are appended.

“…A great deal of information concerning AIFs can be found in the design guides of Caro, Pohlman, and Isley (1979) and Obermayer (1986a, 1986b) and in the Semple et al (1981) report mentioned previously. This latter report is probably the most comprehensive source.…”
