The experimental program described in this paper is investigating advanced dynamic seats (g-seats) as an alternative to platform motion systems. The studies have quantified the effects of dynamic seat cuing on the performance of a roll-axis turbulence regulation task, and on transfer of training to a whole-body motion simulator. The studies have clearly demonstrated that the dynamic seat can elicit tracking performance and manual control behavior equivalent to that observed with whole-body motion. To date, significant transfer of training from the dynamic seat to whole-body motion has only been observed with pilot subjects. Techniques to achieve the same training benefit with naive trainees are being pursued.
