Using Simulation for Proficiency November 15, 2011

For over two decades I have been a avid simulation enthusiast. Flight simulation itself has advanced from being a just another game to a serious passion for many. The models have become closer to reality. The environment engines have become realistic. Computing power has become cheaper. My research has been focused on validating whether high-fidelity simulation appliances can be achieved at reasonable costs thereby enhancing the size of population who benefits from them. On one hand, the answer is that it can be done. On the other hand, the compelling power of simulation can be leveraged in a variety of ways. One of those objectives is training and keeping training costs low. The other is gaining proficiency.

It is in the context of the gaining proficiency that we will be starting a new series titled “Simulation for Proficiency” beginning January 2012. Not sure of the frequency yet, but each episode will focus on a certain aspect/technique that student pilot will need to master.
