Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training: Tanker/Transport/Bomber (TTB) Training Requirements.

Abstract

A one-year contract effort was performed in response to the USAF Air Training Command Request for Personnel Research No. 75-27, 'Tanker/Transport/Bomber (TTB) Lead-In Training.' The effort accomplished the following: (a) identification of training requirements for the TTB phase of a proposed dual-track UPT program. These requirements cover those tasks which are common to the B-52, KC-135, C-130, C-141, C-9, and C-5 aircraft, (b) development of ways of estimating the training benefits to be derived by MAC and SAC from pilot lead-in training on these common tasks, (c) development of a method for determining the generalizability of any subset of TTB lead-in training tasks to the entire domain of TTB training tasks, and (d) development of an approach to the measurement of aircrew performance in the TTB training environment. This study effort was prerequisite to the Air Training Command development of a syllabus for the TTB track of a Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training System (SUPTS). (Author)
