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

Abstract: This paper adds data to help develop simulator motion 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 in the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator, where seventeen general aviation pilots performed a stall recovery task. Pilots had to follow a flight director through four stages of the stall recovery task. A time-varying identification method was used to quantif…
