DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a direct response to an NIH-stated need for a system to "simulate piloting aircraft under hypothetical or actual drinking handicaps and designed to predict fatal and nonfatal accident involvement". This requirement, released by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, recognizes that alcohol plays a significant role in serious (fatal) aircraft accidents in all three major aviation sectors: general, commercial and military. At present, effects of alcohol on piloting skills are paid little attention in typical flight training programs. However, there is ample evidence that pilot training is most effectively done by having student pilots actually experience the flight conditions and requirements they must learn. Further, the Federal Aviation Administration has, for several years, certified the use of various types of flight simulators for training purposes. These flight simulators have been used very effectively, and are particularly useful in providing student pilots with experiences which might be unduly dangerous to attempt in actual flight conditions. This project is intended to lead to development of an Alcohol Effects Simulator (AES) which can augment existing flight simulators and mimic the consequences of flight under the effects of varying degrees of alcohol consumption. This will be done by performing a series of controlled experiments using prescribed flight protocols on a flight simulator without alcohol consumption (control) and with alcohol consumption (test groups). Deviations from the control conditions will be determined and implemented in the AES, which can then be used to teach sober pilots the likely effects of flight under the influence of alcohol as a function of amount consumed and time since consumption (as reflected by blood alcohol levels). The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, has recognized that alcohol plays a significant role in serious (fatal) aircraft accidents in all three major aviation sectors: general, commercial and military. Pilot training in this area is clearly inadequate, and is best addressed by hands-on learning experience. The proposed product development will lead to development of an Alcohol Effects Simulator (AES) which can augment existing flight simulator training programs and mimic the consequences of flight under the effects of varying degrees of alcohol consumption.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是对NIH声明的系统需求的直接响应，该系统“模拟在假设或实际饮酒障碍下驾驶飞机，并旨在预测致命和非致命事故”。这项由国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所发布的要求承认，酒精在所有三个主要航空部门（通用、商业和军事）的严重（致命）飞机事故中起着重要作用。目前，在典型的飞行训练计划中，酒精对飞行员技能的影响很少受到关注。然而，有充分的证据表明，飞行员训练是最有效的，让学生飞行员实际体验飞行条件和要求，他们必须学习。此外，几年来，联邦航空管理局已经认证了用于训练目的的各种类型的飞行模拟器的使用。这些飞行模拟器的使用非常有效，特别有助于为飞行学员提供在实际飞行条件下尝试可能过于危险的经验。该项目的目的是开发一种酒精效应模拟器，它可以增强现有的飞行模拟器，并模拟在不同程度的酒精消费影响下的飞行后果。这将通过在飞行模拟器上使用规定的飞行协议进行一系列受控实验来完成，没有酒精消耗（对照组）和酒精消耗（测试组）。与控制条件的偏差将在AES中确定和实施，然后可以用于教导清醒的飞行员在酒精影响下飞行的可能影响，作为消耗量和自消耗时间的函数（如血液酒精水平所反映的）。国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所认识到，酒精在所有三个主要航空部门（普通、商业和军事）的严重（致命）飞机事故中起着重要作用。这方面的试点培训显然不够，最好通过实际学习经验加以解决。拟议的产品开发将导致开发酒精效应模拟器（AES），它可以增强现有的飞行模拟器培训计划，并模拟不同程度的酒精消费影响下的飞行后果。
