Thesis Title
PC-based aviation training devices for pilot training in visual flight rules procedures: Development, validation and effectiveness

Read article at Massey Research Online:

Mr Reweti sought evidence regarding the benefits and cost effectiveness of using low cost PC-based aviation training devices to improve pilot proficiency in performing visual flight rules procedures. He developed five PC-based aviation training devices for use by New Zealand flight training organisations, which included the Royal New Zealand Air Force, the Auckland Helicopter Rescue Trust, and the Ƶ School of Aviation. Evidence of the effectiveness of these devices was based on two comparative studies. The first study determined that a PC-based aviation training device was as effective as a civil aviation authority certified flight training device at improving pilot proficiency. The second study determined that the effectiveness of a PC-based aviation training device was not influenced by differences in aviation experience or flight training environment.
