Book Synopsis Similarities and Differences Among Superior, Marginal, and Eliminated Undergraduate Pilot Training Students by : Norman W. King
Download or read book Similarities and Differences Among Superior, Marginal, and Eliminated Undergraduate Pilot Training Students written by Norman W. King and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compares interview data from highly successful and marginally successful graduates with similar data from students eliminated from undergraduate pilot training (UPT). The objectives of the study were: to delineate factors which distinguishes the successful from the unsuccessful student, to identify problems of UPT which impact generally upon all students alike, and to denote aspects of the UPT program which may warrant modification. Information from interviews with 119 graduates were compared with information from interviews with 114 eliminees. Further, for problems related to flying training comparisons were made among data from 61 students who graduated in the top quarter of their class, 58 who graduated in the lowest quarter of their class, and 28 students eliminated for flying deficiency. Successful students differed from eliminees in amount of previous flying experience, less problems learning to land aircraft, less loss of confidence, and fewer changes of IPs (Instructor Pilots), had less criticism from their IPs, listed more problem aspects of the UPT program and had more realistic expectations about the demands of UPT. Problems seen generally by all students related to: problems with poor IP teaching characteristics; difficulties learning the overhead landing pattern; formation; instruments; grades; and IP-student relationships. Recommendations suggest studies of IP training and modifications of techniques for teaching some of the flying skills.

Book Synopsis Background and Interest Measures as Predictors of Success in Undergraduate Pilot Training by : Nancy Guinn
Download or read book Background and Interest Measures as Predictors of Success in Undergraduate Pilot Training written by Nancy Guinn and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample of 593 pilot trainees in Officer Training School were administered the Strong Vocational Interest Blank and the Officer Biographical and Attitudinal Survey. Their performance in pilot training was monitored in order to assess the effectiveness of biographical, attitudinal, and interest data in predicting pilot training criteria. Using item analysis, four eliminee keys were developed from the survey data; regression analysis was utilized to select various models of predictors to be used as possible Pilot Selection Composites (PSC). Using the optimal cutoff score for PSC Model 1, 38% of the eliminees were correctly identified and only 10% of the graduate group incorrectly labeled as potential failures. For Model 2, 18% of the eliminee category was identified as high-risk for attrition along with seven percent of the successful graduates. With Model 3, 45% of the eliminees were labeled as potential failures along with 20% of the graduate group. The possibility of increasing the accuracy of prediction by using non-cognitive data and the operational usefulness of the composites are discussed.
Book Synopsis Self-Perceived Problems of Student Pilots Eliminated from Undergraduate Pilot Training by : Edward E. Eddowes
Download or read book Self-Perceived Problems of Student Pilots Eliminated from Undergraduate Pilot Training written by Edward E. Eddowes and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes how students eliminated from undergraduate pilot training (UPT) perceived the circumstances leading to their elimination. Personal interviews were held with 117 students eliminated from UPT. The data obtained were organized on the basis of the official cause of elimination. The frequencies of problems or factors perceived as contributing to elimination were categorized according to the five most prevalent causes of UPT attrition: self-initiated elimination, manifestation of apprehension, flying deficiency, medical deficiency, and academic deficiency. It was concluded that eliminated students' perceptions of training problem areas can provide useful information for training program management and can suggest areas for training research. The elimination interview format is appended.

Book Synopsis A Statistical Analysis of the Determinants of Naval Flight Officer Training Attrition by : Scott F. Murray
Download or read book A Statistical Analysis of the Determinants of Naval Flight Officer Training Attrition written by Scott F. Murray and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify factors that lead to naval flight officer training attrition. Data was compiled on student NFO cohorts who entered between 1991 and 1996. A multinomial logit model is specified with the dependent variable categorized into four outcomes: (1) attrition for performance failure of the individual, (2) attrition for medical reasons, and (3) dropping on request, and (4) passing aviation training. Independent variables utilized in the model include commissioning source, race, and undergraduate major. The statistical analysis sought to determine the effect of each of these demographic factors on the probability of attrition by reason. The results show that commissioning source has a significant effect on attrition for performance failure and dropping on request. United States Naval Academy graduates had the lowest attrition rates for these reasons, followed by ROTC then OCS graduates. Caucasian student NFOs had the lowest attrition rates among the race categories. Undergraduate major also affects attrition behavior with technical majors succeeding (earning wings) at a slightly higher rate than non-technical undergraduate majors.

Book Synopsis An Empirical Analysis of U.S. Air Force Pilots' Attrition by : Chien-Chung Lu
Download or read book An Empirical Analysis of U.S. Air Force Pilots' Attrition written by Chien-Chung Lu and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to analyze which factors cause attrition among Air Force pilots during their active duty periods. The Air Force invests a significant amount of time and money in pilot training. Because of the high cost incurred during the pilot's training period as well as during his active duty service, to discharge one or to have one of them leave the service is extremely costly. Empirical models were estimated for all pilots entering the officer corps between 1976 and 1986. Data records utilized in this thesis were obtained from Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Master and L0ss files. Demographic and other relevant factors were included in these models to examine the effects on pilots' remaining in or leaving the Air Force and on the number of years of commissioned service.
Book Synopsis USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training Pass/Fail Rates of Spectacled-Versus-Nonspectacled Student Pilots by : Wayne F. Provines
Download or read book USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training Pass/Fail Rates of Spectacled-Versus-Nonspectacled Student Pilots written by Wayne F. Provines and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among 2348 U.S. Air Force undergraduate pilot training (UPT) students, no statistical difference (.05 level) in the pass/fail rates was found between students who initially failed tests for distance visual acuity, color vision, and red lens and students who passed these tests on the first administration. These findings suggest that UPT pass/fail rates are not influenced by the presence/absence of any of the visual anomalies. We must caution, however, against extrapolating these findings to operational flying, particularly in high-performance aircraft or to the skill level attained except to complete the training. Keywords: Spectacles in Cockpit; Graduate pilot training; Corrective lenses in cockpit.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines how the skills needed to perform future military missions might affect the capabilities required of new pilot training systems. In the next few years, the Air Force must decide to replace or extend the lives of two of its trainer aircraft. This monograph addresses which skills should be taught in undergraduate flying training, which are so different that they cannot be taught in current training aircraft, and what impact these issues have on decisions to replace or extend the lives of the aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The future of Air Force pilot training lies in advanced technology, but it isn't what you are thinking. Since 2018, the Air Force has experimented with introducing Virtual Reality cockpits into student training to save money, reduce training timelines, and increase the quality of pilots produced. Although this initiative saw some success, the benefits the Air Force desired was not achieved. With a hand-selected group of highly capable students and well above average instructor cadre, the Pilot Training Next (PTN) program proved virtually reality (VR) was a viable option for student training. However, the instructor demand needed for this program to be successful was not realistic for large scale production. For pilot training to be more efficient, instructors need the time to simultaneously tailor the curriculum to challenge each student based on their skill level in addition to the time to analyze the student body as a whole to determine the overall effectiveness of the program. The answer to the first half of this equation can be found through a combination of FLOW theory combined with student-centric learning and coaching enabled instructors. The second half of the problem can be solved through evidence-based training using applied artificial intelligence. Combining these two approaches will provide the Air Force the pilot training program needed to equip the force with the critical thinking warriors needed for tomorrow's fight."--Abstract.
