Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Qualification Course (FWMEQC) Evaluation.
Abstract
The Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Qualification Course (FWMEQC) is 10 weeks, 2 days in length. Academic instruction is conducted by the Department of Academic Training. Flight instruction is provided by a civilian contractor under the supervision of the Department of Flight Training. The course was established to train commissioned and warrant officer Army aviators in fixed wing aircraft flight techniques for multi-engine aircraft qualification including the Army Fixed Wing Instrument Rating. Evaluation Division of the Directorate of Evaluation and Standardization (DES) was tasked to assess the effectiveness of training in the FWMEQC early in September 1980. The evaluation plan included provisions for investigation of the adequacy of techniques and procedures of instruction. Primary objective of the observations was to determine how well course objectives were being achieved by students. The evaluation produced the following major findings: a. Instructional systems development procedures and techniques were adequate. b. The Program of Instruction (POI) has been updated and was forwarded to TRADOC for approval on 30 July 1980. c. There is a high degree of consistency on training objectives from the POI to lesson plans and student handouts. d. Training objectives are being satisfactorily achieved. e. Except for a limited number of test questions, examinations are satisfactory. f. Evaluation of training through analysis of exam results is not being adequately accomplished in the FWMEQC.
