A model for instructor training analysis in simulation-based flight training

In this research, the instructor training process is modeled and a methodology for determining instructor training plans is developed. A framework for instructor training analysis is described that covers the identification of instructor skill requirements, methods of training instructors, and the development of instructor training plans. The framework was developed from a study of training-system characteristics conducted using a group of experts in flight simulation. The system developed in this research has been integrated with a framework for instructor operator station design developed earlier (Ramesh and Sylla, 1990). The instructor training model´s implications for the design of this station are presented, and directions for future research are provided
