This survey has 20 questions regarding the use of desktop simulation and personal computer training devices (PCATD). Your responses will be anonymous, and will be used to further understand the use and benefits of off the shelf technology in flight training. It is possible that this survey and the research it is part of may result in training changes. Please select the best answer for all questions. Thank you for participating.

2. What is your age group? *This question is required.
3. If you were military trained, did you attend flight school between 2000 and 2004? *This question is required.
4. PRIOR to any flight training, did you ever use a PC based desktop simulator such as MS Flight Simulator or X-Plane? *This question is required.
5. If you answered "yes or other" to question three, estimate the number of times you used a PC based desktop simulator prior to flight training. *This question is required.
6. Do you or did you use a PC based desktop simulator during flight training? *This question is required.
7. If you were military trained, did you participate in the Navy or Air Force Microsim program using Microsoft flight simulator, aircraft, and scenery files for your local training area? *This question is required.
8. If you were military trained and you did participate in the microsim program did you receive a CD or download files from the internet for use on your own computer? *This question is required.
