Based on the comparative PGT and aircraft performance scores of a control and experimental group, the results of Stage II indicate that an appropriately equipped PGT may be used to flight check instrument-pilot applicants on the automatic direction finder (ADF) very high frequency omnidirectional radio range (VOR), and instrument landing system (ILS) approaches. The report lists the equipment and capabilities required for the ground trainer to be effective as a part-task flight-checking device for accomplishing these tasks. 收起
