A meta-analysis of flight simulation research was conducted to identify important characteristics associated with the effectiveness of simulator training. A total of 247 articles, research reports, and technical reports were located, of which 26 had sufficient information for statistical meta analysis; 19 involved jet pilot training and 7 involved helicopter pilot training. The major finding was that use of simulators consistently produced improvements in training for jets (relative to aircraft training only). No conclusion about simulator effectiveness for helicopter training could be made due to the small number of experiments available for this analysis. Use of motion cuing added little to the training helicopters, the effects of motion cuing were not able to be analyzed because of an insufficient number of experiments. Conclusions concerning the benefits of motion cuing for both types of aircraft were considered highly tentative due to methods used when conducting motion-related experiments. In general, training outcomes appear to be influenced by the type of task and the amount and type of training. An agenda for future research is provided.
