A New Approach to Criterion Development in the Replacement Air Group,
Abstract
The investigation attempted to isolate the most critical skills and procedures within each of the stages comprising replacement air group (RAG) training in the F-4 aircraft. For each of the stages analyzed, a small set of graded items were selected on the basis that they could adequately discriminate among replacement pilots categorized as 'above average,' or 'below average,' according to their final overall RAG grade. Such items were found to be highly predictive of the stage grade from which they were obtained. A multiple R of . 839 was obtained, predicting the final RAG grade when only five of the selected maneuvers were entered into the equation. These findings indicate the feasibility of isolating a small set of skills and procedures which will be highly predictive of pilot performance in the RAG. It is suggested that such 'critical' items should form the basis from which an adequate measure of fleet performance might be developed. (Author)
