Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project I trained 40 students basic flight manual skills in our simulator while systematically collecting their data. Another 20 participants took part in smaller side-experiments and exploratory studies. Through the analysis of this data, I was able to extract key indicators that show a student's progress. This includes not only final performance measures, bus also latent indicators of for example the trainee's level of understanding, his/her control and learning style, and stress and effort levels. I developed tools to largely automate the analysis as well as additional modules to train specific sub-tasks in an efficient and effective manner. The visualized analysis results can be available immediately after a training flight and help the instructor to decide which exercise to start next. It can also help trainees to practice independently, and ask for a `check ride' when they feel ready. Various parts of the analysis and training modules have gained interest from industry.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Due to the increasing use of automation the time spent on practicing basic manual flying skills is decreasing. This research can improve flight safety by providing cost-efficient and effective training support tools. The research also shows new ways to make use of the large amount of data available.
