Extract

Although hundreds of moving base simulators exist in the world today, there is a paucity of objective and quantitative methods of assessing the necessity for, and the effectiveness of the motion provided. This paper describes a quantitative method of assessing the effects of motion on an aircraft simulation when there is short-term interactive control of the aircraft by the pilot.
