Requirements for Future Research in Flight Simulation Training: Guidance Based on a Meta-Analytic Review

Traditional narrative reviews of aviation training research have produced inconsistent conclusions and little specific guidance for training design. A quantitative review approach, referred to as recta-analysis, was applied to transfer of training experiments that included sufficient information for the statistical analysis. From a total of 247 journal articles and technical reports, only 26 experiments (19 involving jet aircraft and 7 involving helicopters) were included in the final meta-analysis. Drawing on the recta-analytic review, this report outlines an agenda for future research and provides guidelines for reporting research results.
