The Edwin A Link lecture was established in 2007 to honour Edwin A Link, the distinguished pioneer of synthetic training. From the beginning of manned flight there has been a symbiotic relationship between the airplane and simulation in all of its different forms.
Dr White's lecture will look at how their roles are now reversed and more often than not it is somehow expected that the airplane has been programmed to perform like the simulator.
