PROFICIENCY DIFFERENCES OF PILOT AND NAVIGATOR F-4 SECOND-SEAT CREWMEMBERS: A SOUTHEAST ASIA EVALUATION

Abstract

A proficiency rating form was administered to F-4 crewmembers following each of a series of combat missions. The rating form was one of several data collection instruments developed as part of Project Combat Team to gather behavioral data designed to relate the differences in the training of pilots and navigators to operational performance. The rating categories were designed to measure proficiency in ten second-seater functions and three general characteristics related to second-seater proficiency. Using an 11-point rating scale, aircraft commanders compared their second-seat crewmember with second- seaters of equal combat experience. Differences between pilot and navigator second-seaters on each rating category were tested by a multiple linear regression analysis. Data from other instruments relevant to evaluation of mission success were also presented. Several conclusions were drawn on the basis of these data.
