Retraining Army Aviators Following a Protracted Absence from Flying.
Abstract
A group of Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Utility Helicopter (UH-1) aviators who had not flown for several years was retrained by Army Research Institute (ARI) instructor pilots at the United States Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC). The main emphasis of the training program was on daytime contact maneuvers, the evaluation of which was carried out by Standardization Instructor Pilots (SIPs) for USAAVNC. Conclusions are drawn about the optimum nature and content of the training program, the hours required to reach a satisfactory standard, and the relationship between the training hours required, total flying time and years away from flying.
