AN ASSESSMENT OF RESEARCH RELEVANT TO PILOT TRAINING
Abstract
This report presents a critical review and interpretation of the considerable amount of research data that have either direct of indirect implications for the training of pilots. The purpose is to organize systematically the research findings from the human performance and the training research literature that are pertinent to pilot training, and, based on the status of research in defined areas, to identify researchable issues. Successive portions of the report deal with studies on the measurement simulation and transfer of training, operational components of the pilot's job, and the maintenance of flying proficiency. In addition, attention is given to studies concerned with improving training systems and recent innovations in training methods are reviewed. As it provides a considerable background of information directly concerned with pilot training, this report will be of interest to individuals involved in any aspect of flight training.
