Abstract

 Investigations of aircrew sustained operations (SUSOPS) have been criticized for employing tasks with no apparent
 external validity. Because measures obtained directly from aviators flying high-performance aircraft are difficult to
 obtain, a laboratory compromise is needed. High-fidelity flight simulators used for aircrew training offer the most
 realistic simulation, but their availability is limited. Personal computer-based flight simulators may provide adequate
 simulation in, the laboratory at a rea.sonable cost. This report describes a representative research protocol using a
 commercially available flight simulator during a simulated aircrew SUSOP.
