Effectiveness of Contractor Mission Instructors in the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Basic Mission Qualification Course
Abstract
In response to a request from the Technology Applications Program Office, U.S. Aviation Systems Command, researchers conducted a training effectiveness evaluation of basic mission training for aviators assigned to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. The objective of the evaluation was to compare effectiveness of contractor and military instructors. Three classes of students attending the basic mission qualification training course, conducted by the Selection and Training Detachment, were evaluated. Student demographic data were used to divide the classes into two groups. The grouping was based on flight time in assigned aircraft total flight time, rank, age, highest qualification held, and experience with night vision goggles. One group was trained by contractor instructors and one group was trained by military instructors. Written examinations, flight evaluations, and part-task trainer procedure evaluations were administered throughout the course to compare the performance of the two groups. The instructors were rated by the students and an independent observer. Researchers found no significant differences between the training effectiveness of contractor and military instructors.
