This report presents the results of a study assessing the value of a linkage device in promoting crew coordination training among B-52 transition crews. The linkage device is an electronic interconnection between the B-52 Flight Simulator and the T-2A Radar Trainer that enables the pilots and navigators to practice a fairly wide range of tasks requiring coordination among these four crew members. Turn rates, climb and dive rates, true airspeed, altitude and heading indications are transmitted from the B-52 Flight Simulator to the Radar Trainer. PDI signals (steering meter and time-to-go meter) from the bombing navigation system on the Radar Trainer and reference voltages from the Radar Trainer are transmitted to the Flight Simulator. Circuits interconnecting the two trainers include the Pilot Transfer Switch to and from the E-1 turn control, and pilot panel information to and from bomb control. The interconnection is accomplished so that use of the Flight Simulator and the Radar Trainer as separate trainers, as well as a combined system, is possible.
