Quality Control Plans, Procedures, and Rationale for the F-16 Pilot Training System.

Abstract

Quality control is a fundamental component of the Instructional Systems Development process. In order to develop and maintain an efficient and effective training system, it is essential to monitor the system and make improvements on the basis of feedback data obtained from evaluation. The quality control plan for the F-16 project attempts to avoid these shortcomings. The developmental procedure will involve small-scale tryouts for the individual instructional segments followed by larger group tryouts with multi-segment materials. The operational monitoring stage will involve evaluation of data produced by the performance measurement system (PMS) which includes routine and systematic data collection procedures. The graduate evaluation stage will involve three types of data to be collected for each graduating class: Task specific proficiency ratings; Results of STAN/EVAL check ride, simulator check, and final examination; and Graduate evaluation questionnaires and structured interviews with graduates. To assist in these three stages of quality control, evaluation specification checks are provided at six major checkpoints in the training cycle.
