RU95102766A - Method and device for training to control an aircraft - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: training devices. SUBSTANCE: control is performed in real- time scale by means of representation of pictures of corresponding indication units and switches which size on display is close to their real size. Trainee effects simulators of control organs or organs which set modes of aircraft. Position, movement characteristics and operating characteristics are controlled by indication units and switches which are shown on display. When total set of indicators and switches have been shown on screen, their number is limited to one or to group of related indicators and switches with corresponding increment of their size. Then, trainee using its finger effects part of display screen which shows picture of corresponding switch. In addition device has computer which stores pictures of said indicators and switches for different positions. In addition device has commutation unit and unit for limitation of number of images. latter unit has transparent sensor commutation panel which is located before display screen and is connected to computer through special input device. EFFECT: increased attention of trainee to required movement or operating characteristics of aircraft.

Claims (1)

The invention relates to methods and simulators for learning to drive a vehicle, mainly air vehicles. The invention solves the problem of ensuring the learner's concentration on the parameters of movement or operation of the vehicle with simulated real-time control due to the prompt reproduction on the display screen of the images of the corresponding indicating devices and switches in a scale close to real. The student acts on the simulators of the traffic control body or setting the operating mode of the vehicle. The trainee exercises control of the simulated positions, motion parameters and operational parameters using the indicated indicating devices and switches, the images of which are displayed on the display screen. After playback on the screen of a complete set of images, their number is limited to one or a group of functionally interconnected indicating devices or switches with a simultaneous increase in the scale of their image. Then the learner acts with a finger on a portion of the display screen with a visible image of the corresponding switch. The simulator also contains a computer with a device for storing images of these devices and switches at various positions, as well as a switching unit and limiting the number of images. This unit includes a transparent touch-switch panel installed in front of the display screen and connected via a specialized input device to the computer.
