F-16 Instructional System Cost Study Report

Abstract

All training program designs must eventually be translated into a set of resources required to support training activities and the costs associated with these resources. Resource requirements vary depending upon the type, amount, and complexity of the training to be conducted and generally cover a very broad spectrum of support needs. The detailed assessment of training requirements is the result of a training support requirements analysis (TSRA) which can then be used to generate specific cost figures. The F-16 instructional system represents a complex system in which the training resources required range from equipment such as aircraft, simulators, and trainers to personnel such as flight instructors, academic instructors, course managers, and administrative support personnel. The spectrum of resources also includes media devices, training materials, training facilities, and subtraining systems for the preparation of system personnel. The purpose of this report is to provide a tool for calculating resource support requirements and associated costs of the F-16 pilot and instructor pilot instructional system based upon the data available at any point in system operation.
