The AH-64A Apache helicopter contains an emergency fly-by-wire flight control system, called BUCS, that exists to back-up the mechanical flight control system in the event that this primary system becomes damaged or malfunctions. Aviators must be trained in the operation of this back up control system. This BUCS familiarization training must take place in a simulator, since it is too dangerous and expensive to be performed in the aircraft. The AR STRATA research simulator was enlisted to provide the platform for this training, as no other simulator in the Army inventory was capable, at the time, of simulating the full range of BUCS flight procedures. ARI created a model BUCS training course. From January 2001 through January 2005, ARI provided simulator-based familiarization training to 978 AH-64A Army aviators. The current research report provides the program of instruction used to train these aviators. This method of instruction can be used with any AH-64A flight simulator that fully represents BUCS. It can be modified to support training of the AH-64D Longbow Apache. This experimental BUCS familiarization training course ended on 31 March 2005.
