PROJECT TITLE : Affordable Computer Based Trainer

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (LIMIT 200 WORDS)

The innovation being proposed by Advanced Creations, incorporated (ACi) is an affordable Computer-Based-Training (CBT) system configured around a complex system of software modules developed by the ACi under internal funds. The software modules comprise a subset of a comprehensive software system called OASIS (Onboard Avionics Synergistic Information System) which is configured to be the core software package for a fully integrated avionics suite. Specific modules from this package that provide an engine gauge cluster, an attitude direction indicator (ADI), a horizontal moving map (HMAP), and a three dimensional out-of-cockpit view of actual flight plans (with an actual terrain and obstacle database) can be ported to a personal computer domain in concert with one of the latest generation graphics generator to yield a very low cost trainer capability. The OASIS software is easily modified to provide simulations for any cockpit configuration or specific aircraft dynamics.

The CBT, as proposed, is one that will meet or exceed the primary vision and goals of the AGATE training work package. The simulator concept will be driven to emulate the AGATE cockpit, permitting a realistic preflight planning, inflight readjustments, and post flight review and critique.

This innovation will result in a highly versatile computer based trainer with broad potential for use in General Aviation, high school drivers training and many others. Dr. John A. Little, Advanced Creations, inc., 4401 Dayton-Xenia Rd., Dayton OH, 45432
