Assessment methods for scores of flight technique based on flight recorders records

Abstract

The paper presents alternative approaches and develops a methodology, algorithm and software for assessing the flight technique. This study’s aim is to improve flight technique assessment quality, reduce workload, and exclude subjectivity. The paper analyzes existing assessment methods for flight technique, reveals their disadvantages and substantiates the advantages of the proposed solutions. Authors propose two major approaches to the development of flight technique assessment for pilots with different initial pilot skills. The basis of the proposed flight technique assessment lies in coordinated landing maneuver flight parameters that correlate. Practice proved that the proposed assessment methods objectively and reliably identify flights with deviations from parameters, flights with errors in flight technique and prevent sending of an untrained pilot on the flight. Developed software suite enables statistics processing and automates the processes for flight technique assessment to build optimal programs of flight training. The proposed solutions can be implemented as separate software modules for ground-based flight data processing devices and put into practice.
