Treinamento de voos simulados em cenário de combate BVR e o processo decisório naturalista

Abstract

The technological evolution of aircrafts and their systems has led to the emergence of complex air combat scenarios. These scenarios, characterized by time pressure and high risk, require pilots to make quick and accurate decisions. The need to train pilots in this type of arena led to the creation of combat simulation centers to train the most complex flight tasks. This scientific work aims to point out the consequences of training simulated flights in Beyond Visual Range -BVR combat scenario, considering the execution of defensive maneuvers. The methodology includes research on literary sources related to the flight simulator and on decision making in a naturalistic environment. The collected data by documentary research were used to evaluate the perception of these professionals regarding the importance of simulated flight training in BVR combat scenario in the decision making process to perform defensive maneuvers. The results showed that pilots are fully aware of the benefit that this training brings to the decision making process. These results suggest, as a conclusion, that simulated flight training in BVR combat scenario is extremely relevant in enabling pilots to make decisions, as it allows them to identify a situation as familiar and thus quickly execute a course of action appropriate.
