Data Processing in the Pilot Training Process on the Integrated Aircraft Simulator

Abstract

Flight safety is an integral part of air transportation. Flight accidents are highly unlikely to appear but most of them are caused by the human factor. The aircrew training system for abnormal operations relies on integrated aircraft simulator-based exercises. Crew needs to be trained not to degrade piloting technique quality when facing increased psychophysiological tension. Therefore, methods evaluating the characteristics of ergatic aircraft control systems, warning systems for deterioration due to failures in avionics systems, piloting technique quality, and abnormal operation algorithms are necessary. An analysis of the bank angle has revealed that there are hidden increased tension manifestations in the human operator expressed in the transition of the flight parameter variation from a stationary random process to deterministic fluctuations in the form of a sinusoid. The goal of the research is to increase the efficiency of pilots’ training using integrated aircraft simulators based on the design and implementation of statistical data processing algorithms. To achieve the goal of the research, two algorithms for detecting deterministic fluctuations based on the Neyman-Pearson criterion and the optimal Bayesian criterion are developed. The presented algorithms can be used in the integrated simulator software to automate the decision-making process on piloting quality.

Improving the Methods of Assessing the Quality of Aircrew Piloting Technique

“…We found the psychophysiological pressure of the human operator during flights from the end of the third turn to the fourth turn, by comparing the data obtained on the flight simulator (FS) in the case of complex failures that do not affect aerodynamics and aircraft control systems. Predicted limits of entry into the glide path by correlation functions in the form of an ellipsoid are presented in [6].…”
