AHFE Open AccessFlight Training Research Paving the Path for Future eVTOL Pilots
Abstract
At the dawn of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), namely the introduction of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off & Landing) vehicles, we have been pioneering in designing a certifiable flight training programme for those pilots who will be the first in the world to operate such vehicles.This paper will discuss our training design path we pursued, the research and development work behind it and finally the resulting training design. Emphasis is laid on the analysis of the training needs, our design approach based on human-factors research and development, the requirements for the design of new flight simulators, and how a close cooperation with OEMs and aviation authorities made us validate this flight training programme course, which will prepare future eVTOL pilots for a safe and sustainable operation in Urban Air Mobility in just one year from now.
Keywords: Urban Air Mobility, eVTOL, Pilot Training Design, Flight Simulation, Mixed Reality, Cognitive Task Analysis, Task Model Simulation
