A Survey of Activities of Aircraft Maintenance Personnel.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to obtain detailed information concerning the duty activities of Army Aircraft maintenance personnel. The data would serve as a basis for course modifications which would relate school training as closely as possible to actual job requirements. A comprehensive field survey of approximately 2,500 aircraft maintenance personnel was conducted. The principal objective of the survey was to determine in detail the requirements of the job in the field so that training courses might be tailored as closely as possible to those requirements. Some of the findings were as follows: (1) the typical man, both in organizational and field maintenance, estimated that he spent about two-thirds of his duty time engaged in aircraft maintenance or repair; (2) organizational and field maintenance personnel were not appreciably different on any of the background characteristics examined; and (3) the intention to reenlist in the Army was significantly more common among organizational than among field maintenance personnel.
