Aircrew Task Surveys: Selection Criteria for Low-Cost Training Technology Applications.

Abstract

This paper documents the first phase of a research and development effort to obtain opinion data from Air Force operational aircrews to support the selection of training tasks as candidates for the development of several high technology, low cost, part task trainer demonstrations. The overall goal of the effort is to develop and combine scientifically derived, advanced part task training methods with state-of-the-art training technology. Several surveys of aircrews who fly tanker, transport, or bomber type aircraft were conducted to elicit their opinions regarding training issues which bear on the matching of task characteristics with low cost training technology. Survey results provide a general guide to the selection of appropriate tasks for further analysis. Keywords: media selection, special functions trainer, task analysis, training analysis, training surveys.
