An attempt was made to validate a low cost, low fidelity, computer driven flight simulator. The validation is required so that the simulator can be used as a criterion task to see whether we can predict flight performance on the basis of performance on other tests of individual cognitive ability like attentional flexibility, visual representational skill, priority setting and planning. The simulator was based on instrument flying rather than visual contact flying and incorporated secondary tasks to further tax the pilot's capacity. Simulator performance is correlated with hours of flight training, the best correlations coming from conditions which impose additional task demands. (Author)
