Identifying and Determining Skill Degradations of Private and Commercial Pilots

Abstract

The aeronautical skills of a sample of non-instrument rated, private and commercial pilots, were studied to determine the effect of experience factors. On the average, subjects received higher scores on skills employed most often. They received the lowest average scores on skills seldom practiced such as stalls and simulated instrument flight. A step-wise regression analysis indicated that an individual's latent skill accounts for 30% of the variance between pilots. Experience factors accounted for 25% of the variance.
