Percepção e aplicabilidade dos jogos de simulação no treinamento de piloto privado e piloto comercial de avião

Abstract

Flight simulators in aviation have evolved as pilots' first learning difficulties arose, to the point that they have become cheap and accessible. In Brazil, the cost of civil aviation pilot training is high, combined with students' learning difficulties. Given this, there was a need to optimize training, to improve learning, and mainly, for flight safety. Thus, simulation games present themselves as a suitable alternative, as they are cheap and easy to operate. The objective of the work is to analyze the role of simulation games as a potential tool for pilot training. To prepare the work, an exploratory method was used, of a basic nature, with a qualitative, quantitative, bibliographic and documentary approach. The results through the analysis of an interview carried out in 2017 with instructors and students, in addition to other works on the influence of simulation games on pilot training, are considered a tool with great potential to aid training, and which have diverse applicability, such as offering personalized training to the student, according to their individual difficulties and, mainly, in emergency training. These can be made available on computers in schools and allow students to use them under the supervision of an instructor, whenever necessary, with the possibility of combining important resources such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
