Naval Pilot Training System Study. Volume 3. Executive Summary

Abstract

The study investigated the Naval Undergraduate Pilot (fixed-wing) Training (UPT) Program and produced recommendations for the modification of the program to reduce cost while maintaining the current level of graduate quality. The study analyzed the capabilities of elements of the current system, the pilot training requirements anticipated for the 1974-1986 time period, and capabilities within the pilot training state of the art for economically fulfilling those requirements. Six training system elements, selected for their discrete impact on system cost, training effectiveness and susceptibility to analysis and improvement were evaluated. Two criteria were established for the evaluation of each system element and for the selection of new or modified elements. They are training effectiveness and training cost.
