Flight Simulator Transfer of Training Effectiveness in Helicopter Maneuvering Flight

This research aims to advance the state-of-the-art requirements for helicopter pilot training in flight simulators contributing to the rotorcraft safety enhancement framework. It has been conducted as part of the Marie Sk\l odowska-Curie European Joint Doctorate NITROS (Network for Innovative Training on Rotorcraft Safety).<br/><br/>Training has...

Visually Augmented Simulator-Based Training of the Manual Landing Flare

Landing is one of the most difficult tasks of flying an aircraft and a majority of the incidents and accidents is related to the final approach and landing phase of flight. Comprehensive training programs are required to prepare (novice) pilots for this last phase of flight, and facilitate the development of robust manual flying skills. Various...

Preparing drivers for dangerous situations: A critical reflection on continuous shared control

Shared control (also known as continuous haptic guidance or haptically active controls) has recently been introduced in car driving. With shared control, the driver receives continuous force feedback on the gas pedal or steering wheel, so that human and machine conduct the driving task simultaneously. Experiments in driving simulators have shown...
