Predicting Performance in Army Aviation Primary Flight Training
Abstract
The Army Research Institute Aviation Research and Development Activity (ARIARDA) successfully implemented the Multi-Track Test Battery and associated classification functions in 1988. The battery and functions have been used to assign more than 4,000 flight students to their combat skills aircraft. The subsequent program determined the applicability of the battery to prediction of student performance in flight training. Performance evaluation in primary training consists of four-flight phase grades and 12 academic-phase grades. In addition to these, primary overall average grade and primary overall flight grade were predicted using forward stepwise multiple-regression procedures. Stepwise multiple-discriminant analysis was used to investigate two additional measures--flight deficiency training setback and flight deficiency attrition. The capability of the battery to predict primary training grades is demonstrated. Results of discriminant analysis of setbacks and attrition should be viewed with caution.
