Tactical Ground Attack: On the Transfer of Training from Flight Simulator to Operational Red Flag Range Exercise

Conference

I/ITSEC 1982

A-10 pilots who rehearsed surface attack skills under high threat conditions in a flight simulator survived a significantly higher proportion of total RED FLAG missions than did pilots who did not receive the simulator training. These data support the notion that simulator training may have a significant influence upon aircrew survivability in high density ground threat environments.
