An Automated Method for Forecasting Daily Aviator-Training Resource Requirements

Abstract

This research note discusses a topic important for aviation training. Currently, forecasts of aviation training resource requirements are produced manually, and frequently out of date. An automated method for producing training resource requirement forecasts was developed for the AH-1S Aviator Qualification Course, the Methods of Instruction Course, and the Instructor Pilot Course. The method employs a computer matrix to store data on determinants of resource requirements such as student load, class frequency, and phas of training. Formulas to calculate requirements from these determinants were developed, and a computer application to automate the calculation of the requirements was produced. The method described herein is applicable to other Army Aviator Courses and may be modified to apply to any resource-intensive Army course. Keywords: Flight training, Attack helicopters.
