Applicability, limitations, acceptance, and effectiveness of helicopter simulation are considered. Some of the key points are the objective and subjective validation of a simulator and the various factors which influence the acceptance by pilots. In this context it is very important to make a tradeoff between simulator sophistication (i.e., cost) and required result (i.e., design input) in the actual phase of development. Other aspects of simulation effectiveness include evaluation and training of critical flight conditions prior to flight tests as well as involving the customer from early concept studies up to full mission simulations, which gives more influence in the design and leads to better identification with product. 'Do's' and 'don'ts' in piloted simulation to achieve maximum simulation effectiveness are presented.
