Initial Student Attention-Allocation and Flight-Performance Improvements Based on Eye-Movement Data
At the onset of their flight careers, novice pilots often lack clarity regarding the standard attention-allocation pattern. Therefore, to enhance the efficiency of initial flight training, it is crucial for students to develop a comprehensive understanding of flight control and attention-allocation behavior during the learning process. In this study, flight-performance data and eye-movement data from experienced instructors in no-power stall scenarios were collected to create an attention-allocation training course. An experimental group underwent the attention-allocation training course, while a control group followed the traditional teaching curriculum. The disparities between the flight performance and eye-movement indices of the two groups after they completed their respective courses were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. The finding indicate significant differences between the speed losses, altitude losses, and mean course deviations of the instructors and the control group; these indicators had p-values of 0.01, 0.004, and 0.001, respectively. Moreover, significant differences were observed between the altitude losses and mean course deviations of the instructors and the experimental group; these indicators had p-values of 0.006 and 0.001, respectively. The experimental group, which underwent attention-allocation training, exhibited eye-movement indices that closely resembled those of the instructor group, and its instrument scanning was more strategic, thereby resulting in improved flight performance from that of the control group. Additionally, correlations were observed between flight-performance indices and eye-movement indices of the students. Overall, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of an attention-allocation training course designed specifically for a no-power stall scenario. It effectively enhanced the training outcomes of novice pilots, promoted an appropriate allocation of attention to instrument displays, introduced a novel approach to flight training, and ultimately contributed to aviation safety.

Evaluating the effectiveness of flight simulator training on developing perceptual-motor skills among flight cadets: a pilot study
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of flight simulator training on the enhancement of perceptual-motor skills among flight cadets. Perceptual-motor skills act as a crucial link through which pilots translate their environmental perceptions into precise maneuvers, a capability that is particularly vital in dynamic and unpredictable flight environments. A total of forty cadets participated in the experiment and were randomly assigned to either the Traditional Training Group (TTG) or the Efficient Training Group (ETG). The TTG received individual training on training aircraft under the supervision of an instructor, while the ETG trained on expert aircraft using a full-scenario memory replay training system enhanced with multimodal information feedback. The simulations were conducted at the Aeronautical University simulation laboratory, configured as a self-developed Flight Skill Accelerated Training Simulator. Both groups completed eight weeks of simulated flight training, which included testing scenarios such as takeoff, flight control, landing, and carrier landing. Results indicated that the ETG outperformed the TTG in the takeoff, flight control, landing tasks, and carrier landing tasks. Furthermore, the ETG demonstrated a faster training pace across all tasks. These findings suggest that our independently developed accelerated flight skills training system can effectively expedite motor skill acquisition among flight cadets, enhance flight performance, and holds promising potential for broad application in various flight training contexts.

Exploring technology acceptance of flight simulation training devices and augmented reality in general aviation pilot training
This study investigates pilot perspectives on the use of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) in Canada’s general aviation (GA) sector, which, despite their longstanding adoption, remain underutilized. It also examines pilot perspectives on the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an assistive tool in GA pilot training. An online survey gathered views on FSTD use for routine flight operations and emergency training, as well as AR’s potential to support learning. Responses from 197 participants show a strong interest (average rating above 4 on a 5-point scale) in incorporating FSTDs and AR technology into the GA pilot training framework. The findings suggest that immersive, technology-driven training environments have the potential to better address modern aviation demands and enhance pilot proficiency.

High-Wing Aircraft Visualized Flight Maneuvers Manual
This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.
This comprehensive maneuvers manual is an excellent visual aid for instructors and pilots in training, covering all the flight maneuvers required for Private, Sport, Commercial, and Flight Instructor certification. Each maneuver is depicted in detail according to the type of aircraft in which the lesson will take place, states the objective of the task, and lists the FAA Certification Standards required, serving as an effective learning and teaching tool. Fully illustrated with fold-out pages that show and explain each maneuver on a one-page spread so pilots can see and read complete details on what to do, in the proper order, to successfully demonstrate all required flight maneuvers.
Compact format with spiral binding provides easy access to the fold-out pages. The illustrated fold-outs show each maneuver step-by-step, so pilots understand what they should be looking for outside the cockpit window. Contains full descriptions of stalls, slips, performance and ground reference maneuvers as well as short, soft, and crosswind takeoffs and landings. This revised fifth edition adds a new section on energy management. Also included are suggested checklists for everything from preflight to takeoffs and landings, performance, and checkrides, and an easy-to-use index so pilots can quickly refer to any desired task.
Important note from the publisher:
While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
