An Analysis of Pilot Training for F-16 Implementation by the Republic of Korea Air Force.
Abstract
Insight for the pilot training for the F-16 implementation for the Republic of Korea Air Force is provided, and statistically significant factors affecting the training process are identified. To analyze the F-16 pilot training system of the transition period, a simulation model of the training system is built using a SLAM network with FORTRAN subroutines. Four factors of interest to the planners are investigated from a baseline to an expected value with respect to the average days to complete transition and upgrading instructor pilot training used as measures of effectiveness. Several factors and interactions are significant for each response variable. The most significant finding is that increasing the number of student pilots per class from six to seven reduces the number of classes required from eight to seven, saving about three months. This increased student load can be accomplished within allocated resources. Any change to the F-16 implementation plan can be analyzed prudently with this model. This model is flexible to different scenarios and production goals by changing input variables. The model can be used as a general one for analyzing a transition period of any F-16 implementation, using limited resources on a predetermined syllabus schedule with random variables. (Author)
