A brief description is provided of several University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) programs designed to investigate human factors and system optimization involved in flight simulation. A program of study has been undertaken to determine the critical amplitudes required to provide sensations of motion in the flight simulator sickness that are congruent with the expected motion of an aircraft. An electrogastrogram system designed to measure stomach activity associated with simulator sickness has been developed and tested. A program to evaluate nonlinear motion drive algorithms for flight simulators has been completed. The modelling of atmospheric disturbances, especially atmospheric turbulence and wind gradients associated with thunderstorms, is under study. Implementation of software for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) flight test evaluations of a Bell 205 Helicopter simulator developed earlier, is currently underway. A generic spin simulator for simulation of light aircraft flight when airframe spin data is unavailable has been implemented on the flight simulator. An expert system for the purpose of tuning motion drive algorithms is to be developed.
