Research and Development for Increased Usage of Flight Simulation in Flight Training

加拿大的飞行训练行业正处于严重的衰退状态。在过去的五年中，加拿大的飞行培训业务（FTBs）的数量从222家减少到166家，四分之一的人失败。塞内卡学院与飞行训练行业的研究合作伙伴关系已经确定了增加使用飞行模拟来缓解这种下降的潜力。同时，仿真技术在航空训练中的应用研究和实现也存在一定的空白。关键的第一个组成部分是建立模拟技术领域应用研究所需的能力。

Canada's flight training industry is in a serious state of decline. Over the past five years, the number of Flight Training Businesses (FTBs) in Canada has decreased from 222 to 166, a failure of one in four. Seneca College's research partnerships with the flight training industry have identified the potential of increased use of flight simulation to mitigate this decline. As well, there is a as gap in applied research about simulation technology and its implementation in aviation training. The critical first component is to establish the needed capacity for applied research in the area of simulation technology.
