'Current' vs 'Stagnant' Jet Pilots' Response Times: A Comparison.
Abstract
An attempt was made to determine if one of the basic piloting skills was lost during prolonged periods of nonflying. 'Current' and 'stagnant' groups of jet Naval aviators were tasked with responding to a sequence of sixty slides of an aircraft attitude indicator. The Subjects' response times were measured. The slides depicted twelve different aircraft attitudes. Although no significant difference was found between groups, a definite learning trend was established. The subjects were reassigned into 'more experienced' and 'less experienced' groups. The more experienced group performed significantly better. (Author)
