Time-Varying Manual Control Identification in a Stall Recovery Task Under Different Simulator Motion Conditions

Abstract: This paper adds data to help the development of simulator motion cueing guidelines for stall recovery training by identifying time-varying manual control behavior in a stall recovery task under different simulator motion conditions. A study was conducted with seventeen general aviation pilots in the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator. Pilots had to follow a flight director through four stages of a high-altitude stall task. A time-varying identification method was used to quantify how pilot m…
