Information technologies-the basis of training, retraining and advanced training systems for helicopter pilots
Abstract
In the early 90s there was a need for the complex development of training, retraining, maintaining and professional development system designed for the most popular Mi-8 helicopter pilots oriented at modern information technologies. The system covers all the stages of pilot training, starting with the initial stages of professional activity up to its completion. The technical means compiling specifications for the whole range training were determined by the results of the pilot in-flight activity analysis. The proposed optimal range of technical facilities for training consists of technical means with different levels of out-of-cockpit and in-cockpit environment simulation. The utilization of these means allows to minimize the expenditures on proficiency level support and cost of pilot training. The set of technical training appliances such as: automated training courses of theoretical disciplines, computer functional and situational simulators, navigation simulators and flight complex simulator includes the facilities that provide training of the pilot actions at each stage of the flight. The individual schedule of computer based self-development classes is drawn up for each student. While compiling the individual schedule logical sequence of all training stages was carefully observed: firstly we begin with a thorough study of helicopter structure, then goes the study of functional system or equipment normal operation, functional system or equipment in special situations operation, and finally, the routine technology of crew operation in normal flight conditions and the crew actions in dangerous and emergency situations. In addition to the direct training of students, the initial stage of training solved the tasks of practical check and improvement of previously taken decisions.
