THE PILOT TRAINING STUDY: PERSONNEL FLOW AND THE PILOT MODEL

Abstract

A description is given of Air Force pilot flows and of the computer-operated decision model that simulates them. PILOT can be used to examine various policies relative to pilot flows and their effect on training rates. Inputs are pilot requirements, aircraft system, and type of pilot, plus descriptions of personnel flows. Outputs are number of graduates required each year from training schools to meet the need for pilots. The model is constructed in a 'total force context'; i.e., it simulates the real world. It also accepts dynamic inputs and embodies time phasing so that training can be structured over time.
