A influência do treinamento em simulador de voo no âmbito de gerenciamento de emergências

Abstract

Flight simulator training plays an important role in emergency management as it is a tool where pilots are exposed to high-risk situations in a safe manner, allowing them to develop decision-making skills in critical moments, contributing to better emergency management performance during real flights. Therefore, one of the main benefits of flight simulator training is the ability to expose pilots to a wide variety of emergency scenarios that may be difficult or impossible to reproduce in a real aircraft. They can simulate engine failures, onboard fires, pressurization issues, bad weather, and many other emergency situations, allowing pilots to practice and improve their skills in a safe and controlled environment. This article analyzes and discusses the influence of flight simulator training on emergency management skills in aviation pilots. In this way, the justification for the theme is given through the importance of the subject, especially for flight safety. The objective of the article is to investigate the influence of flight simulator training on the development of emergency management skills in aviation pilots. The article aims to address the following question: what is the influence of flight simulator training on the management of emergencies among aviation pilots? The research is conducted through a literature review, with an explanatory and qualitative approach, addressing the history and conceptualization of flight simulation, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of this type of training. For this study, secondary data sources will be utilized, including scientific articles, theses, and dissertations related to flight simulator training and emergency management. These sources will be obtained from reliable academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, theses, scientific articles, among others. Therefore, it is concluded that flight simulators constitute a fundamental tool in the training and improvement of pilots, enabling them to develop the skills and competencies necessary to handle various situations and emergencies during flight. Additionally, they provide a safe and controlled environment for training, allowing the practice of complex maneuvers, emergency drills, and the refinement of cockpit management.
