USAF Evaluation of an Automated Adaptive Flight Training System

Abstract

The objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate the training effectiveness of the Automated Flight Training (AFTS) in the F-4 training program; (2) to identify desired hardware and software modifications for operational AFTS devices; and (3) to identify effective methods of operational training use. The study was performed at Luke AFB, Arizona at the request of the Tactical Air Command (TAC). A class of 24 students assigned to F-4 combat crew training was randomly divided in two equal sized groups. One group received GCA training using the AFTS. The other group received normal GCA training from F-4 instructors. Performance data, questionnaire data, and maintenance data were collected and analyzed. Implications of the data for future use and procurement of additional systems are discussed.
