A Quality Evaluation Model for Approach in Initial Flight Training Utilizing Flight Training Data

The scientific and efficient assessment of flight training quality during the approach phase is an important aspect of ensuring the quality of initial flight training. To address the limitations of traditional flight training evaluations that mainly rely on subjective judgement from flight instructors, this study proposes a quantitative evaluation model based on flight trajectory data. Specifically, the model selected six key parameters, including height deviation, speed deviation, pitch angle deviation, approach slope, horizontal acceleration, and vertical acceleration, and utilized time series analysis method to measure the similarity between different parameter curves and target curves. Then, the EWM-AHP-DEMATEL method was used to determine the weights of each indicator and construct a linear model for comprehensive assessment. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is consistent with expert assessments and effectively eliminates the subjectivity associated with flight instructors.
