TITLE SLIDE SUGGESTIONS FOR MODERNIZING FLIGHT SIMULATION STANDARDS by Ross Schaller Kohlman Systems Research, Inc. 319 Perry Street, Lawrence, Kansas 66044 USA (785) 843-4099 www.kohlmansystems.com 19 March 2001

AGENDA Background Qualification of Flight Test Data QTG Presentation Guidelines Clarification of Validation Tests Future Issues 19 March 2001

BACKGROUND Simulator Data Packages Aircraft Modeling RVSM & STC Reports Accident Investigations Research Projects Engineering Services 19 March 2001

QUALIFICATION of FLIGHT TEST DATA Currently, There are No Formal Data Recording Standards to Qualify Flight Test Data for Simulation Purposes Can Lead to Lower Fidelity Models Can Degrade Training Experience Applicable Data Recording Standards Do Exist AGARD Instrumentation & Recording Standards NASA Technical Memoranda US Military Standards (MIL-STD’s) 19 March 2001

QUALIFICATION of FLIGHT TEST DATA (cont.) Sensor Location 19 March 2001

QUALIFICATION of FLIGHT TEST DATA (cont.) Data Sources Issues Over-sampling Time Skewing 19 March 2001

QTG PRESENTATION GUIDELINES No Formal Standards or Guidelines Varies from Company to Company Even Within a Company, May Vary from Aircraft to Aircraft Need to Define the Following for Each Test: Minimum Level of Integration Required Driving Parameters Aircraft System Focus This Will Provide Objective Set of Baseline Requirements Standardization of Measured Level of Fidelity 19 March 2001

CLARIFICATION of VALIDATION TESTS Update Validation Test Requirements Review Latest Simulation Regulations Clarify Ambiguities in Current Document Suggest Alternatives Where Appropriate Maneuver Descriptions Include as Part of ICAO Standard Remove Uncertainties Regarding Maneuver Content 19 March 2001

FUTURE ISSUES Computer Controlled Aircraft Unusual Attitude Training Do Data Requirements Double? Measure All Necessary Bus Parameters Also Instrument & Measure Aircraft States Unusual Attitude Training > 95% of Validation Tests are Flown at 1G No Definition of Unusual Attitude Validation Points Will Increase Flight Test, Modeling, & Simulation Costs Will Increase Risks of Collecting Data Liability of Training Without Validation Simulator Cockpit Red Light 19 March 2001

CONCLUDING REMARKS 19 March 2001
