EVALUATION OF A LOW COST IN-FLIGHT AUDIO/VIDEO RECORDING SYSTEM FOR PILOT TRAINING.
Abstract
The report describes a study to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using in flight audio/video recording and ground playback equipment in the United States Air Force undergraduate pilot training (UPT) program. It includes a detailed description of a low cost audio/video recording system (AVRS) which was developed for the study. Audio/video equipment configurations are discussed as they apply to training operations in the T-37 aircraft. A description is given of the training methodology which was formulated for integrating the audio/video recordings of student maneuvers into the flight training program. Airborne cameras were used to view the flight instruments and the pilot's forward outside scene. The operational use of the AVRS is described for two ongoing classes of pilots. The results in terms of differences in achievement levels and learning rates for TV and non-TV students are described. Conclusions as to high equipment reliability and easy maintainability and the training benefits which can be expected to accrue from use of the AVRS are detailed. (Author)
