This paper describes a quasi-transfer-of-training study in the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator. Sixty-one general aviation pilots trained on four challenging commercial transport tasks under one of four different motion conditions: no motion, small hexapod, large hexapod, and Vertical Motion Simulator motion. Then, every pilot repeated the tasks in a check with Vertical Motion Simulator motion to determine if training with different motion conditions had an effect on task performance. New objective motion criteria guided the selection of the motion parameters for the small and large hexapod conditions. Considering results that were statistically significant, or marginally significant, the motion condition used in training affected 1) longitudinal and lateral touchdown position, 2) the number of secondary stall warnings in a stall recovery, 3) pilot ratings of motion utility and maximum load factor obtained in an overbanked upset recovery, and 4) pilot ratings of motion utility and pedal input reaction time in an engine-out-on-takeoff task. Because the training motion conditions revealed statistical differences on objective measures in all the tasks performed in the Vertical Motion Simulator motion check, with some in the direction not predicted, trainers should be cautious not to oversimplify the effects of platform motion. Evidence suggests that the new objective motion criteria may offer valid standardization benefits because increases in the training motion fidelity, as predicted by the two conditions covered by the criteria, resulted in expected trends in pilot ratings and objective performance measures.
