A helmet loader has been designed and tested in a differential maneuvering simulator which provides the proper cues without restricting the pilot's movement or requiring cumbersome attachments. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of the loader on both test pilots and operational F-15 pilots. Both the objective and subjective data from the experiment were used to determine the effect of the helmet provided acceleration cues on the simulator pilot's performance. An analysis of the obtained data indicates that the helmet-loader does have measurable effect on the pilot/simulator system. The effect is mainly seen in the transition portion of the task. The pilots significantly increase their control outputs for pitch which causes a significant increase in aircraft pitch rate.
