Aircrew Training Evaluation: B-52 and KC-135 Formal School Training
Abstract
This report documents a descriptive and analytical investigation of the training information and evaluation system which supports the initial qualification, pilot/navigator-upgrade, and requalification training programs for B-52 and KC-135 aircrews at the 93 Bombardment Wing (BMW), Castle AFB, California. The rationale for the study was that improvements in aircrew training evaluation must be based upon adequate understanding of current practice. A description of the training information system is organized according to the temporal sequence in which information is collected, and according to the offices in which information is collected and processed. It was concluded that sufficient data are gathered for the evaluation of students as they progress through the program of instruction, yet little of this information is used, in turn, for systematic evaluation of the training system. The limitations of the present information and evaluation system were interpreted as a function of past Air Force requirements for evaluation, a manual record keeping system, parallel evaluation functions performed by several of the offices within the Wing, and the absence of an overall integrated evaluation plan.
