Comparison of Pilots’ Abilities Connected with Military Flight Training using Simulation Technologies

This paper presents evaluation and consequent comparison of pilots’ abilities and limitations in different stages of training. The results are based on modelling and assessing of pilots’ behavior during simulated flight. For these purposes, the tests were performed with two groups of pilots - students of the first and the last study year at University of Defense in Brno. The results provide observable differences in behavioral parameters such as reaction delay, or quality of control. These parameters could be used for objective evaluation of influence of pilot training on pilot’s abilities and limits.
