The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of Personal Computer Aviation Training Devices(PCATDs) and Flight Training Devices(FTDs) to meet FAA recency of experience requirements for instrument flight. Two types of training devices were tested: (1) an FAA approved PCATD; and (2) a Frasca 141 FTD. An Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) was given to all subjects in the airplane to establish a performance baseline (IPC no. 1). After the completion of IPC no. 1 in the airplane, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four groups: the PCATD, the FTD, the aircraft or the control group with a balancing constraint so that the subjects successfully completing IPC no. 1 were equally distributed among the four groups. During the six-month period, each subject received two recency of experience flights of about 1.8 hours each in either the PCATD, the FTD or the aircraft; the control group received no recency training. These recency of experience flights included three instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking navigation radials and courses. After the six-month period, performance on an IPC in the airplane (IPC no. 2) compared pilots who received recency of experience in the training devices to a control group, which received no recency of experience.
