Improving Glider Flight Instructional Challenges #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Aircraft make Lousy Classrooms

Improving Glider Flight Instructional Challenges #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Aircraft make Lousy Classrooms make Lousy Aircraft Insufficient Opportunity to Practice Weather Never Cooperates Some Valuable Lessons are Never Experienced • Too Dangerous • Locally Unavailable

Improving Glider Flight Instruction Flight Simulation as a Solution Concept Learning via Visualization Procedural

Improving Glider Flight Instruction Flight Simulation as a Solution Concept Learning via Visualization Procedural Training (Demonstration/Performance) Practice makes Perfect (the Principle of Exercise) Controlling the Weather (Continuity) Expanded Experience Distance Learning (Leveraging the Network)

Demonstrations ◊ Flight #1 • • • Visualization (Views, Zoom, Panning) Other Sensory Feedback

Demonstrations ◊ Flight #1 • • • Visualization (Views, Zoom, Panning) Other Sensory Feedback (3 D Sound, Tactile) Virtual Reality (Turn-points, Thermals) Instructional Super-Weapon Time Control (Replay, Re-Fly, Recovery) Environmental Control (Task, Weather, Aircraft, Event Options) ◊ Flight #2 • Replay Library • Stall/Spin – Base to Final

Maintaining Proficiency Keeping Your Head in the Game ◊ Normal Operations • • •

Maintaining Proficiency Keeping Your Head in the Game ◊ Normal Operations • • • Aero-tow Turn Coordination Stall Recovery Finding, Entering, Using Lift Traffic Patterns / Landings • • Rope Break Landing Out Stall/Spin Recovery Unusual Attitude Recovery ◊ Emergencies / Dangerous Situations

Developing/Refining New Skills Cross-Country / Navigation ◊ Weather • Finding and Using Lift (Condor)

Developing/Refining New Skills Cross-Country / Navigation ◊ Weather • Finding and Using Lift (Condor) • Dealing with Changing Conditions (Condor, FSX) • Using Real World Wx (FSX) ◊ Navigation • Learning to Use a PDA (Condor) • Practicing Dead-Reckoning and Pilotage ◊ Fly a cross country the night before the flight ◊ Gain geographic knowledge of a new contest area (FSX)
