Even though the capability of aircraft manufacturing has improved, human factors still play a pivotal role in flight accidents. For example, fatigue-related accidents are a common factor in human-led accidents. Hence, pilots' precise fatigue detections could help increase the flight safety of airplanes. The article suggests a model to recognize fatigue by implementing the convolutional neural network (CNN) by implementing flight trainees' face attributions. First, the flight trainees' face attributions are derived by a method called the land-air call process when the flight simulation is run. Then, sixty-eight points of face attributions are detected by employing the Dlib package. Fatigue attribution points were derived based on the face attribution points to construct a model called EMF to detect face fatigue. Finally, the proposed PSO-CNN algorithm is implemented to learn and train the dataset, and the network algorithm achieves a recognition ratio of 93.9% on the test set, which can efficiently pinpoint the flight trainees' fatigue level. Also, the reliability of the proposed algorithm is validated by comparing two machine learning models.

Despite recent advances in technology use for education and training, the approach to pilot training over the past several decades has largely remained unchanged. Student pilots complete their training in actual aircraft, with very few flight hours conducted in flight training devices. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of various levels of simulator fidelity on ab initio pilot training.

The objective of pilot training is to equip trainees with the knowledge, judgment, and skills to maintain control of an aircraft and respond to critical flight tasks. The present research aims to investigate changes in trainees' cognitive control levels during a pilot training process while they underwent basic flight maneuvers. EEG microstate analysis was applied together with spectral power features to quantitatively monitor trainees' cognitive control under varied flight tasks during different training sessions on a flight simulator.

Background: Flight simulators have an essential role in aircrew training. Occasionally, symptoms of motion sickness, defined as simulator sickness, develop during training sessions. The reported incidence of simulator sickness ranged widely in different studies.
