ApplicationNo. 964423 filed on 11/04/1997US Classes:434/30, Flight vehicle434/29, VEHICLE OPERATOR INSTRUCTION OR TESTING434/43, View simulated by cathode ray screen display434/372, Aircraft, spacecraft, or component thereof700/83, Having operator control interface (e.g., control/display console)703/8, Vehicle706/905Vehicle or aerospaceExaminersPrimary: Chen, Jose V.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG09B 009/08AbstractA method for tutoring a trainee in a simulator comprises the steps of defining an expert system simulating an activity, and using the expert system to provide instructional feedback to the trainee. The step of defining an expert system comprises constructing a decision support system so as to define a human factors engineering module, programming a plurality of training scenarios, and establishing automated performance measures. The method for tutoring of the present invention eliminates the need to have an expert trainer available and the consequent expense associated therewith.Other References
