The guide and its evidence limits are journal annotations, not quotations from the original researchers. The complete original paper is not currently in this agent’s searchable context.
S1 Training transfer and adoption
Why read this for flight training?
Evaluates a low-cost VR device for instrument approach practice. Useful for a flight-school discussion of immersion when instrument interpretation is the main task.
How to interpret the evidence
The 44-participant study concerns a defined approach task, not an entire instrument-rating syllabus.
Screening basis: Abstract screened. This annotation identifies relevance and limits; it does not replace appraisal of the original methods and findings.
