The objective of this study was to empirically assess the performance of experienced pilots in the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT) under varying platform motion, G-seat, field-of-view and ceiling/visibility conditions. Five experienced T-37 pilots flew five contact and instrument maneuvers in the ASPT under all combinations of the independent variables. Automated performance measures based on system parameters, pilot inputs and derived scores were collected and analyzed. The results indicated that expert performances were affected by the motion, field-of-view and ceiling/visibility variables and were often manifested as changes in control behavior rather than vehicle performance.
