Abstract

Due to a limited understanding of human multimodal motion perception during aircraft control, the definition of requirements for flight simulator motion fidelity is a problem the flight simulation community has struggled with for years. The development of adequate tuning procedures for motion washout algorithms has remained problematic for the same reason. This paper proposes a method for assessment of simulator motion fidelity that makes use of a cybernetic, model-based approach to measuring multimodal pilot control behavior. As illustrated here with data from a recent human-in-the-loop experiment, this approach allows for objective detection of changes in pilot control that result from degraded simulator motion fidelity.
