A flight simulation is currently being developed at the National Institute for Aviation Research in order to study a pilot's workload during terminal area operations. The simulator is a fixed base Learjet cockpit that has been outfitted with a 19 inch monitor for the outside scene visual displays and a 14 inch monitor used to display an instrument panel. A 32 button switch panel is also used to allow for the pilot interactions. The simulation is being performed by a network of computers. Current research on the simulator is the development of a highly interactive autopilot. This can perform as an autopilot or as a head-up display (HUD) showing the pilot what inputs to make. Various other HUD's have been developed and are being studied in order to determine whether the autopilot actually helps improve the pilot's performance. Future desired improvements and research include the addition of a wide screen visual display, force feedback controls, and an artificially intelligent co-pilot that could be voice activated.
