The constraint on oil flow from the Middle East as a result of the 1973 war and the increased sophistication of aircraft weapons systems are two important factors which have contributed significantly to the interest in visual flight simulation as an integral part of military flight training. Costs associated with these factors, such as procurement and fuel costs, are providing pressure to the military establishment to improve their capability to provide military pilots with visual flight simulation systems which do not impair combat effectiveness or aviation safety. This thesis describes the results of flight simulation utilization by the commercial airline industry, analyzes the effectiveness realized by using flight simulators to supplement military training in different aviation environments, and outlines methodologies for measuring and improving the cost-effectiveness of the systems. Recommendations for careful study are made in areas that would improve military utilization of flight simulation. (Author)
