Simulator testing, conducted to collect and analyze crew performance and crew response in order to address several issues on equipment failures, is reported. The testing provided both quantitative measures such as aircraft positional errors, aircraft state and control parameters, and qualitative data such as responses to pilot questionnaires and pilot comments. The specific objectives of the present tests are: to expose crews, while flying a moving base flight simulator programmed with the flying qualities of a wide body transport aircraft, to Microwave Landing Systems (MLS) based curved path approach and departure procedures which have been found to be beneficial from an air traffic control point of view; to collect pilot perception and performance data while flying these curved path procedures; to measure crew ability to detect insidious failures and to respond to these failures; to measure crew performance and to collect perception data when the crew must revert to basic MLS position awareness data in the presence of a navigation or guidance failure; to evaluate performance on a complex approach path with one (critical) engine inoperative.
