Preliminary Operational Evaluation of an Audiovisual Instrument Trainer.
Abstract
The audiovisual instrument trainer (AVIT) presents multi-media instruction in aircraft instrument scanning, interpretation, and flight path error correction procedures. This report describes a preliminary operational evaluation of the capability of AVIT to improve a student pilot's later instrument flying performance as measured in a T-4 simulator. An operational evaluation of AVIT was conducted by the 64th Flying Training Wing at Reese AFB, Texas. The results of the evaluation test indicated that the AVIT-trained students made significantly more correct responses than student pilots not trained on AVIT. It was concluded that AVIT pretraining was effective as measured in this study. Consequently, it was recommended that further evaluation be accomplished to more adequately define the potential contribution of AVIT to UPT instrument training.
