This effort obtained mission planning factors and flight profiles for a simulator evaluation of a proposed night/adverse weather system. Using two samples of pilots at two stages, generalized day profiles were reduced to a set of specific night profiles for evaluating proposed equipment.
The double interview method used in this study can be applied to similar situations which include diverse operational techniques and strategies, but require a limited (but representative) number of flight profiles for a simulation evaluation of projected equipment.
