Volunteers needed to "fly" a simulator for FAA test
May 16 — The AOPA Air Safety Foundation is helping the FAA recruit about 30 
volunteer pilots from the mid-Atlantic area to help test a new hardware 
system that could help minimize runway incursions. Selected volunteers will 
be asked to taxi and have the opportunity to "fly" an FAA advanced simulator 
at the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ. The entire simulation will 
take about two hours.
Pilots with a variety of certification and experience levels, ranging from 
new private pilots to veteran ATPs, are needed for the test. Simulator slots 
at the FAA Technical Center will be available from July 21 through the end of 
August, 2003. 
This is a volunteer-only study, and those chosen to participate must provide 
their own transportation to and from the FAA’s simulator site on the Atlantic 
City International Airport (ACY).
To apply to be a volunteer, call AOPA Aviation Services, 800/AOPA-USA 
(800/872-2672). Aviation technical specialists will be available from 8:30 
a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday - Friday, to take basic information including type 
of FAA pilot certificate, ratings and flying experience. Volunteers selected 
for the study will be contacted directly by Titan Corporation, the contractor 
for this FAA project.
