According to aviators and researchers, the optimal environment for aircrew coordination training (ACT) is in flight simulators (Prince, Oser, Salas, & Shrestha, 1992). However, most flight simulators are designed solely for cockpit personnel, and additional personnel in multi-crewed aircraft (e.g., crew chiefs, flight attendants) are typically excluded from this vital phase of training. This demonstration presents a PC-based Crew Chief Station specifically designed to enable the inclusion of military helicopter crew chiefs into simulator-based ACT scenarios.
