A7E Transfer of Training Effectiveness: Device 2C15A CPT and Device 2F84B OFT/WST.

Abstract

Training effectiveness and efficiency of two A7E aircraft training simulators was assessed within their operational training environment using a qualitative assessment method. Devices evaluated were the Cockpit Procedures Trainer (Device 2C15A) and Operational Flight Trainer/Weapon Systems Trainer (Device 2F84B). Observation of training activities, review of training syllabii and intensive interviews with 13 Phase Officers and Instructor Pilots were conducted. Results indicate that (1) both devices are effective trainers, (2) the CPT rates low on efficiency due to design and datedness of material and (3) the OFT/WST is a relatively efficient trainer. Recommendations for enhancing efficiency of both devices, especially the OFT/WST are presented along with guidelines for the design of future simulator devices. (Author)
