Contract Ground Based Training Evaluation. Executive Summary
Abstract
The US Air Force and several international countries fly the F-5 aircraft. The current F-5 training program consists of academic and flying instruction only. This is one of the few USAF flying programs not utilizing and Operational Flight Trainer for training. Since 1982, requests for F-5 pilot training have exceeded the capability of the US to provide training. The availability of commercial training would increase the training opportunities for international countries. An evaluation of the Center for Advanced Airmanship was performed to determine the feasibility of using contractor training in the US Security Assistance F-5 Training Program. The CAA is a commercially developed facility to provide F-5 ground based training. This facility is designed to provide academic and simulator training for F-5 pilots from basic through advanced courses in a squadron-like environment. Academic training consists largely of computer based training augmented with platform instruction. An F-5 simulator with a CompuScene III visual system provides hands-on practice of procedures to reinforce academic instruction and prepare the student for flying training. A student management system integrates academic and simulator training to provide feedback to the student and instructor. (KR)
