Flight simulators and training devices in the training of military pilots in Poland
Abstract
This publication aims to highlight the role of flight simulators in the aviation training of cadets at the PAFU, as well as military pilots serving in tactical units of the Polish Armed Forces. It seeks to identify the solutions, capabilities, and key patterns that explain the growing role of simulators in pilot training, and to propose changes aimed at integrating dispersed training systems into a network-centric, multidimensional environment – an environment that offers unlimited space for aviation education. This publication is an attempt to systematize knowledge on simulator-based training in Polish military aviation, with particular focus on the organization and equipment of all military aviation units involved in simulation training. The analysis spans from the early days of military aviation to the present day. The research has a descriptive and systematic character, providing a comprehensive overview and characterization of simulation-based pilot training in Poland. One of the key motivations for undertaking this study was the lack of a comprehensive, up-to-date account of how flight simulators are employed in training Polish military pilots. The publication offers a structured overview of the simulation infrastructure in aviation research institutes, training, and operational units for all those interested in this field.
