V-22 Simulator Evaluation for Shipboard Operations
2006
Reddy, William D.
In June 1990, a preliminary evaluation of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Patuxent River's Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) motion base was performed to assess its value for pilot training and task familiarization for Dynamic Interface (DI) testing. Since that time, MFS engineers have made significant improvements in the areas of ship airwake and turbulence modelling, ship visual elements, and motion cueing. In early 1993, the DI department was tasked to perform an evaluation with a duel purpose. The first was to evaluate and document the fidelity of the V-22 flight simulator for the shipboard operations flight tests. The second was to identify the critical elements required to adequately perform various shipboard compatibility analyses and prepare project pilots for shipboard DI testing. The test consisted of 220 shipboard landings, 8 short take off's, and comprised a total of 16 flight hours.
