The demonstration/validation initiative is funded by the U.S. Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC) through the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE) and is operated by CTC. The concept, known as Simulator Operations Quality Assurance (SOQA), will involve researchers collecting statistics generated from flight data from FFS training sessions for comparison with statistics from flight data from the actual aircraft (MFOQA). The SOQA initiative will also explore the potential for developing evidenced-based training scenarios using objective flight data from known MFOQA events or mishaps. Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:05:00 -0500
