Outline

This paper presents the LeRAAT framework, which integrates a large-scale language model (LLM) with the __T13489_____-Plane flight simulator to provide real-time situational awareness-based pilot assistance. LeRAAT uses real-time flight data, weather conditions, and aircraft documentation to generate recommendations that are consistent with aviation best practices and tailored to specific situations. It uses a search-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline that extracts and synthesizes information from aviation regulatory sources such as aircraft type-specific manuals (including performance specifications and emergency procedures), FAA instructions, and standard operating procedures. The framework is demonstrated in both virtual reality and conventional screen simulations, supporting a wide range of research applications such as pilot training, human factors research, and operational decision support.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Presenting the possibility of developing a pilot assistance system based on real-time situational awareness using LLM
Can be used in a variety of fields, including pilot training, human factors research, and operational decision support.
Access to aircraft type-specific manuals and regulatory materials through the RAG pipeline
Supports both virtual reality and regular screen simulations
Limitations:
Lack of verification of the applicability and safety of the current system to the actual operating environment
Possibility of providing incorrect information due to limitations of LLM and lack of safeguards against it
Versatility and reliability verification required for various flight situations and aircraft types
Lack of specific evaluation of the system's real-time performance and processing speed.
