A method to evaluate flying aptitude by using a flight simulator was attempted. Each segment began with straight level flight, followed by one or two kinds of simple maneuvers such as climbing turn, and ended with straight level flight. While the simulator was frozen before each segment, a subject sitting in the cockpit was instructed how to control the stick and the throttle by listening to the tape recorded before. The subject was also informed of the desirable pitch degree, roll degree and RPM percents for the control of each segment. The subjects' data were recorded and compared with scores of the flight test, which they had taken a few years ago to be evaluated for JASDF pilot training suitability by controling aircraft during actual flying with a rater pilot . As the result, students with poorer flight test scores showed larger RMS errors for pitch and roll control than those with better scores. Multiple correlation coefficients between the simulator data and the flight test score were statistically significant. In conclusion, the method was considered to be effective as an alternative flight aptitude test, however, more studies on evaluation variables would be required.
