Towards the Technical Integration of Vestibular Training for Pilots: Conceptual Design of a Multiaxial Flight Simulation System for Vestibular Illusion Training

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Spatial disorientation continues to pose a major threat to aviation safety, yet civil pilot training syllabi address vestibular illusions only at the theoretical level. This study presents the conceptual design of a multiaxial aerotrim-based flight simulator developed to provide controlled induction of critical illusions, including the somatogravic, somatogyral, and Coriolis illusions. The system employs unrestricted angular motion in yaw, pitch, and roll, combined with immersive virtual reality, to reproduce illusion-specific motion profiles validated in prior experimental research. Unlike conventional Full Flight Simulators or FNPT devices, which are constrained by motion cueing algorithms and high operational costs, the proposed design offers a technically feasible and economically accessible solution capable of delivering reproducible and safe training scenarios. From a regulatory perspective, the simulator’s modular architecture allows for scalable certification pathways ranging from Other Training Device and Basic Instrument Training Device to FNPT I/II, and potentially Full Flight Simulator, depending on the integrated flight model fidelity. The approach not only addresses a critical training gap but also ensures compatibility with existing instructional frameworks, supporting seamless integration into approved syllabi. By enabling systematic and practical exposure to vestibular illusions, the proposed system bridges the gap between methodological readiness and technical feasibility, thereby strengthening pilot training.
