Evaluation of the Computer Aided Training Evaluation and Scheduling (CATES) Decision Model for Assessing Flight Task Proficiency.
Abstract
Determining student performance level and subsequent decisions to either continue or stop training has posed a perplexing problem for instructors and training managers who provide pilot training. In-flight pilot training involves both highly skilled human resources as well as sophisticated equipment. Therefore, training continued beyond established training objectives is costly. However, terminating training before the student pilot achieves the required skills is highly undesirable. A previous study (TAEG Report No. 94) proposed a Computer Aided Training Evaluation and Scheduling (CATES) system to improve proficiency judgments during in-flight training. This present study compared the efficacy of the CATES system with the present system of human judgment for assessing performance in flight training with regard to efficiency in reaching decisions and quality of decisions. The study also demonstrated that the CATES system can be used with some advantage in actual flight training program. (Author)
