Due to costs and penalties the ratio between ground based training and flying hours will soon drastically change. The AH-64 Apache helicopter trainer and the F-16 Unit Level Trainer of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) are single unit fixed base simulation facilities, primarily in use to meet procedural training needs. The Black Hawk helicopter trainer in Fort Rucker (US Army), on the other hand, is based on a moving ('hexapod') platform, and so is the Cougar helicopter training facility at Marseille, France. The main ground base training facility for the F-35 'Joint Strike Fighter' is a configuration of a set of linked fixed base cockpits. For each of these simulators a thorough procurement trajectory was followed, based on an extensive analysis of functional needs weighed against a careful consideration of technological and financial pro's and con's. The question however is whether the policy makers and procurement officers did get enough support from us, the scientific community, to make the proper evidence based decisions on military flight simulation. The answer, at least for the Dutch, is that they did not. For this a research vehicle is built by which we try to define what elements of flight hours can be flown on the ground, or in other words to determine the envelope for replacing flight hours with flight simulation.
