Navigator-Observer Utilization Field Flying Specialties Study

Abstract

This study was designed to identify the future role and training requirements for Navigator-Observers through 1990. Objectives accomplished by the study were to: Determine present and future roles of Navigator-Observers; Identify and analyze operational task requirements; Identify common and non- common operational tasks; Develop training objectives based upon all tasks; Validate present Navigator-Observer training requirements; Identify further research and development requirements. Role information was used in the development of behavioral objectives for projected training tasks. Role information can also be used in policy decisions regarding future navigator training program design. Task and commonality analysis data formed the nucleus of the first computerized navigator-observer data base. Among the most important uses of such information are the development of trainee selection criteria, design of training tasks, curriculum design, selection of methods and media, and development of detailed performance measures and tests.
