The purpose of this study was to develop a screening procedure for undergraduate pilot training (OPT). Thisprocedure was based upon :he use of ground-based instrument trainers in whicfi UPT candidates, naive to flying,were evaluated in their performance of job sample tasks; i.e., basic instrument flying. Training and testing sessions-were conducted in a highly standardized and tightly controlled environment. Student performance was scored usingonly objective measures of aircraft control and systems management. The job sample approach proved highlysuccessful in predicting student perforMance in the T-37 phase of UPT. Attrition, due to causes other than a lack offlying skit, was not satisfactorily predicted by this approach.

. .

To address the selection problem, it is necessary to remember that the existing .UPT , program iscoMposed, of a multiple step selection proceis. First, the requirement for most pilot' trainees to obtain a

"

college degree- insures -a nigh level of mental ability Second, the use of the Air Force Officer -QualifyingTest (AFOQT) is designed to provide additional assurance that trainees have definite aptitudes for learningto pilot, an ,airplane. Finally; the existing physical examination helps to insure that 'Pit candidates arephysically fit . for flight. The use of light aircraft in the pilot indoctrination _ program/flight, instruction,program (PIP/FIP)eand T-41 program. furnishes primary instruction- which may reduce the odds:of-anentrant ,being lost from later orograny phases. However, despite all these existing selection and screening-procedurea; student attrition remains a Problem ,

The final component of the UPT candidate screening, program is a,course of instruction in the T-41aircraft consisting of approximately, 16 , hours of flight. In conjunction with this ,program; research isPresently being conducted to determine the predictive value of psychomotor assessment of UPT candidates.This research is based on a learning approach and consists of two coordination testa. One isa gross measureof eye.hiod coordination and the other a more eolitpleic, eye-hand-foot coordination meastitement. Bothtests incorporate psychomotor skills similar to those, necessary to flying Positive results from this researchMay result in expanding the current UPT selection battery to include.thisassessMent.

While -the generally accepted role of ground-based flight simulators has been to enhance training orreduce required aircraft hours, in pilot trairiing, research evidence indicates that such equipment could beused to effectively screen out- 'those candidates who have minimum aptitude 'in' the' areas ofperceptua0notor skills. During World War 11 such devices were used to predict, successful ofUPT. Two of the more successful were the SAM Two-Hand Coordination Test and the Mashburn Two-HandComplex Coordinator device. These devices were demonstrated to correlate reasonably well with training,peribinianCe; however, they were difficult to maintain and were eventually dropped from the UPT selection*grant.

The 'approach selected for this study was composed of three major elements: job sample testing;training program adaptability; and, objective performance ineasure,s.

Adaptability. This study was designed to be conducted within &e time 'Spandevoted:0'41 screening for preirious classes. This was done to reduce interference with the participating'siuderits';' ongoing training. For the classes involved, T-40 training was in lieu of T41 training. The programdeveloped' was sufficiently flexible to accOmmodate delays due to trainer maintenance, instructoravailability, or other unforeseen probldms. 9

Student Performance Measures. In order to accomplish the purposes of the study, it was necessarythat the measures of student performance obtained from the T0 trainer be representative of thebehavioral domain of UPTflying skills. In addition, it was desired that these measures be free from observerbias or inexperience, and be highly practicarto collect. These criteria were met by carefully objectifyingeach performance measure.

Each student's "flying" ability was measured, using performance indices that could be:observed in anobjective fashion, simply recorded, and scored with little or no .interpretati3n. Three types of measureswere used:

1. Aircraft Control Measures. degree of student controLover the aircraft was determined by howclosely airspeed, altitude, headirig, power setting, etc., matched the flight parameters specified for a givenmaneuver.

2. Systems Management Measures. The tasks required of an Air Force. pilot extend beyond merelyflying an aircraft. For example, navigation and weapons-systems must- be..:managed efficiently. Systemmanagement tasks were simulated by using the light box to present analogous problems, and the,student'sresponse time and errors were observed.

3. Flying Procedures Measures. Following procedures constitutes an important. part of the pilot'sjob. In the T-40 study, execution of taski of this nature was represented by communications, VORprocedures, etc., and scored as either correct or incorrect.

AFOQT Scores. The AFOQT was included in this study because its use entailed practically noadditional effort and seemed to complete the set of predictor variables. The five sub-tests of ihisliatterythat were used consisted of: AFOQT 1 pilot percentile; AFOQT 2 navigator.fiercentile; AFOQT 3quantitative percentile; AFOQT 4 qualitative percentile; AFOQT 5 officer quality percentile. Nofurther description of this instrument is contained in this report since it has been completely described inmany other sources.

. H. METHODS AND PROCEDURES

Subjects

Undergraddate pilot training classes 74-05, 74.06 and 74-07, assigned to Williams AFB, were screenedfor eligible subjects. The planned restriction to use subjects completely naive to flying proved impracticalbecause of the incidenCe of flight experience among the class members. However, Air Force Academygraduates and students who had completed the ROTC Flight Indoctrination Program were not consideredeligible. Additional restrictions to eligibility were:

1. Civilian flying experience not to exceed 150 hours.

2. USAF navigator experience restricted to non-fighter type aircraft (e.g., B-52 Navigator).3. Other military flying not accomplished during past three years (e.g., Army helicopter pilot).

The number of students completing the study program was: class 74-05, 54; class 74-06,38; and class74-07, 36, for a total of 128.

Description of Apparatus

The A/F37A-T40 Instrument Trainer contains side-by-side pilot's and copilot's stationsclosely resembling a T-39 cockpit. At the aft end of the cockpit section is an entrance stairway andplatform. The motion system hydraulic power supply is located under the platform. The computer modulesand electrical power equipment are located in the nose of the cockpit section.

The motion system has two degrees of freedom (pitch and roll) with a cue "wash-out" system. Theoperator console duplicates most of the cockpit instrumentation,and contains "problem freeze," "altitudefreeze," and "position freeze" features. Instrumentation on the pilot's panel is somewhat similar to.a T-38;the copilot's panel closely resembles the T-37 panel.

Modifications. For the purposes of the study, certain modifications to the basic T0 Trainer wererequired. -

Audio ,Communications. Electrical wiring was modified to permit a cassette tape to be playedsiMultaneously into all three trainers through. the UHF radios, to the three operator consoles, and to anidfustahle volume sneaker in the console areaCockpit /ccinsole wiring was modified to permit the consoleoperatorsto-tnonitor.and interrupt "hot=mike" signals-from both cockpit stations. In addition, to make theT40 microphone, system compatible with tilt: Helmet Gu22P/Mask BU5P worn by the subjects, an_impedance-matching power supply-amplifier was added. to each trainer.

These features, of course, are standard, butmounted -o'' each console table was alight control box. Each control box contained three sets of toggleswitches; on. set of nine and two sets of three switches. On the face of the box were also mounted STARTERROR, COMPLETE, and POWER ON lights, START and STOP buttons, and a POWER ON/OFF switchEach cOntrol'box contained its own event timer.

Instructor and Operator Personnel

The instructor and operator pqrsonnel used in the study played a highly implrtant role. Thefollowing sections describe their selection, training, and duties.

Instructor Pilots (IPs). Six groups of 12 IPs were utilized in presenting the 1-40 course of instructionto the three participating UPT classes. These IPs were selected from the 96th FTS (T-37) and the 97th FTS(T-38) at Williams AFB.

Instructor pilot experience ranged from recent UPT graduites awaiting assignInstructor Training Course to IPs with several years' experience.

The IP practiced flying each maneuver to be presented, resetting the trainer to parametersspecified in the program guide, instructing from the guide in coordination with taped time signals, andrecording test data while the HRL instructor flew a typical test.

Included in each student training period was a. thflight, and a fifteen-minute debriefing. During the briestudy assignment, used the program guide and an instr

to be covered, and answered questions from the student. The program guide and taped time and test signalscontrolled the instructor's presentation during the trainer flight. The IP was also required to reset tliCtrainer to specified parameters, repeat taped test commands for the student, and record data during testperiods. After the trainer flight, the IP gave the student a critique on his performance in the trainer andanswered student questions on the material covered. The stntlent's study assignment for the following'lesson was given at this time.

Console Operators. Operators were temporary civil service employees with clerical experience whowere hired specifically for this study.,

Operators were trained to read and interpret the aircraft instrument displays on the 1-40 console,record readings on specified instruments, reset the trainer position and operate the light control box. Thechief console operators were further trained to operate the cassette tape player and the master timer.

The primary duty of each console operator was data recording during the training sorties. The courseoutline and data recording forms kept the operator informed as to the specified data recordingrequirements. Time signals indicating the instant the required readings were to be taken were received overthe operator's headphones from the tape player. The taped commands to the student enabled the operatorto keep track of test progress. At the end of each period, the chief operator restarted the tape andsynchronized the master timer with the new tape.

DurTlg :he portion of the program devoted to VOR training, the operators were required toreposition the trainer to predetermined locations on command from the instructor.

The final four training periods were continuous testing sessions and require the operators to initiatea new problem on the light control box t forty-five second intervals, record reaction times, errors, andinstrument readings.

When not occupied at the console, operators collected and scored the test forms containing the datacollected by both operators and instructors.

Syllabus Development

The syllabus of instruction (Appendix A) for this stud:, was designed to use the job sample approachfor screening candidates for UPT. Also, the nature of the study required that identical quartities of trainingbe administered each student in order that the testing provide a valid indication of each student's ability toattain those skills being taught. The predictive criteria were determined to be the candidate's abclity toassimilate, retain, and utilize information presented in a flying training situation. Since the devices Ava;:able.for conducting this study were 1-40 instrument trainers, the UPT syllabus was examined to determinewhich of the UPT tasks could be effectively trained in the140.

T-40 Capabilities. All instrument flying tasks included in the T-37 phase instrument check were flownby current T-37 instructor pilots in the T-40 trainer. The only maneuver the trainer was incapable ofperforming properly was the aileron roll (a confidence maneuver) due to the absence of response tobackstick pressure when bank exceeded 90 degrees.

Syllabus Design. The syllabus was constructed to accommodate a student with no flight experienceand no knowledge of aircraft instruments. A building-block approach was used, starting with straight andlevel instrument flight and increasing task complexity in logical steps. The scope of the training programwas limited by the length of time the students were available. Each student was instructed in basicinstrument maneuvers, progressed to steep turns, confidence maneuvers, and unusual attitudes andconcluded with practicing VOR instrument navigation skills which included course interception and holdingpatterns.

Academics. Academic instruction during the screening phase of UPT has not, in the past, containedany instrument flight lectures. This training normally is first encountered during the T-37 phase. Ratherthan move a bloc1.-. of instrument flight lectures into the screening phase, then repeat the lectures during theT-37 phase, an alternative was exercised. The T-37 academic section of the 82d Student Squadron prepareda special 1-40 Instrument Procedures work book (Appendix B). The contents of the work book werelimited to instrument tasks and procedures covered in the 1-40 study. These work books were issued toeach student for independent study. Students received additional daily reading assignments in AFM 51-37,Initrument Flying, and ATC Manual 514, Primary Flying, Jet. Access to these manuals was strictlycontrolled to provide equal study time to each student.

Instructional Techniques. In order to present a highly standardized course of instruction withMaximum "hands on" student training, the number of situations requiring indiiiidual instructor techniqueor a judgment by the student were minimized. Actions required to perform a task were proceduralized tothe maximum extent Possible. For example:.

1. Turns to headings the recommended rollout lead point of one third the angle of bank waschanged to procedural lead:points of 10° for a 30° bank and 20° for a 60° bank.

2: Level off the recommended lead point of approximately 10 percent of the vertical velocity wasmade a flint procedural lead point.

Standardization. A major problem in presenting highly standardized training to each student was toovercome variations in instructor quality. IP experience ranged from zero instructor time to over four years.

To minimize this effect, a detailed course outline was prepared wipe!' covered point-by-point, the items tobe discussed in each. mission briefing, trainer flight, and debriefing. All instructors were directed to adhere

strictly to the course outline and to refrain from using individual techniques in presenting the training.

The -taped time signals, received over the instructor's headphones, tegulated the length of trainingtime to be devoted to each task.

MI instruction in the trainer was presented verbally. No IP demonStrations were utilized With theexception of the unusual attitude setup, the student had the gainer controls throughout the progTam.

Study Design

The study design was modeled along the classical predictive paradigm common in appliedpsychological research. Of necessity, such an approachjs longitudinal and uses actual job performance ascriteria. Based as it is upon empirically established validity, the model is robust. Results obtained from thiiapproach are truly representative of the predictiVe power of the test instrument since the study conditionsactually. duplicate the selection situation. The test instrument, of course, was a job sample and this addedrelevanceito the study because the more closely the selection instrument reproduces the behavioral tasks ofthe,actUal job, the greater the content validity of the selection procedure. The job sample test was directlyrelated to the activity to be predicted, gave the UPI candidate a taste of piloting, and was minimally (if atall) culturally biased. Individual differences in ability were minifested in differential performance onsimulated piloting tasks.

Controls. One of the major difficulties in an approach of this type is maintaining control over theexperimental environment. In the present study three dimensions of control were used. First, students ineach of the three classes were randomly assigned to one of two sections (A or B). Durhig the course oftraining the period of instruction was counterbalanced between a.m or p.m for two sections. Second, atightly controlled plan was developed to alleviate potential instructor/trainer/period of instructioninteractions. Through careful scheduling, it was possible to insure-that each student had approximately thesame number of training flights in each of the three trainers, at different periods of the day, and with thesame number of different instructor pilots. As a result, IP-student interaction effects were minimized,trainer device idiosyncrasies were pegated, and consequences of circadian functions within students weregreatly reduced. Third, by making the training period a minature replica of the flying task, events werehighly structured. The student's sequence of activities always followed a rigid pattern: sortie preparation(45 minutes of individual study on printed materials germane to the sortie); pre-sortie briefing (30 minutesin which this material and the sortie were reviewed by the student with his IP); training period (45 minutesof 1.40 instrument training); and sortie debriefing (15 minutes of performance critique by the IP fcr thestudent).

Testing Procedures. The test of the student's performance adhered to a completely structuredprotocol. Each test occurred at a predetermined time during the 45 minute period. In all, 25 tests wereadministered to each student. The first test occupied 10 continuous minutes in the second training period;the 20 subsequent tests were contained in two five-minute intervals occurring during each of the next 10training periods. In the latter case, each five-minute test was separated by approximately 20 minutes oftraining. In the remaining four periods (i.e., those incorporating light box problems during the performanceof flying tasks), response time/accuracy measures and instrument flying task proficiency measures wereobserved continuously throughout the training period.

Testing instructions were relayed to 1Ps and operators via headphones. These instructions dictated theinitial setup conditions of the simulator (e.g., altitude 16M, heading 360; airspeed 250 kts, etc.), and theparticular test to be given. A one-minute preparatory interval followed in which the simulator was set up;the IPs and operators prepared to collect data; and, the student was alerted that a test would occur.

At the beginning of a test, a taped signal (i.e.,-beep) was given to IPs and operators. The IP then toldthe student what maneuversto nerform. As the student attempted this task, "beeps" were sounded at10-second intervals over the headphones of the IPs and operators. Cued by these stimuli, IPs and operatorsrecorded designated instrument readings from their panels. This process continued until the test wascompleted.

The result of this effort was to,produce 25 tests.in which the total:nut-0er of items was 342. Sincethe tittle was .fixed,-the actual number 4-items in each test varied, but the totalmat approximatelythe same for all tests. Of the 342 items, 208 ,-were composed- of "continuous" dependent variableobsei-Vations.(e.g:,_ airspeed) and .134 were composed of "discrete" -dependent irariable observations (e.g.,poWer.seithig-as correct or incorrect). Examples of the special test forms prepared to record these data arepresented in Appendix C. Acting on.the taped cues, data...r.ecording was accomplished by. the instructorpilott-anclthe console operators using these test forms.

Prelirniniry Scoring Procedures

Before the data could be scored, it was necessary to correct certain data points to account fortransitions during a maneuver, instructor errors, or minor trainer malfunctions. Specific examples of thesesituations are:

1. Transit- ions. During, airspeed or altitude changet, a short time interval was allowed for the IP torepeat the:cominand and the maneuver transition to be completed.

time_

data points occurring after atransition- was-complete were-scored. As an extreme case, six data points were recorded for a transitionfroth 250,KIAS- to 230 MS. It takes 30-seconds for-an IP to repeat the command and-for a properlyexecuted-airipeed decrease to occur. To allow for this 30 second interval, the first four airspeed data pointswere deleted and only the last two-were scored.

Bank data were scored during the time the aircraft should have been established in a turn. Data pointsat which the aircraft should have been rolling in or rolling out were not scored.

During the Vertical S maneuvers, only data points.at which the aircraft should have been in a steadyclimb or descent were scored. These points occurred at :20, :30, :50, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, and 1:50 minutesaftit the original -:command. All other points were omitted from the analyses because they occurred duringtransitions.

The instrument take off could not, be scored based solely upon the time elapsed from the,originalcommand. IPs did not-always get the trainer set up.in time for the student to- egin the task on command.Therefore, -the -task was not considered started Until brake release, at which point airspeed showed anin-create. The maneuver "ITO to 5,000 ft" is a task that illustrates this point (Test 9 -1, 1G-1). Table 2,which is a partial -copy of a test font!, is given below to illustrate the discussion of these points.

Numbers in the data space on the discrete items, such ascommnitiCationi, indicated the value al-signed to that particular _response. The examples of test. fofins_

2. instructor/Trainer Malfunctions: In a very few instances, the instructor pilot recorded the wrongdata on the test sheet, failed to record the data, did not set up the trainer in the proper configuration, orgave erroneous instructions to the student. Also, trainer malfunctions occasionally invalidated some data.Such situations were rare and accounted fort ess than 23 percent of the total amount of informationcollected-in the study. To fill in the missing data cells,,a simplified version of the estimation methoddescribed by Bennett and-- Franklin was used-(Witier, 1971, pp. 487-490).

Final Scoring Procedures. When the data matrices were complete, the final scoring steps wereperformed. Since three classes of objective measures of piloting performance were used as dependentvariables, a procedure was required for scoring each type ofmeasure:.

I-. Measures of-Aircraft Flight Parameters For these -measures, the absolute deviatibils from zero(i.e., perfection) for each separate parameter for each maneuver item were converted to-Z scores. Largedeviations, therefore, were represented by la*, positive Z scores. Small deviations (or zero deviations inthe case of outstanding performance) became large, negative. Z scores. This procedure should beremembered in subsequent discussions of the study results because it explains why negative correlationsexist between the predictor and criterion variables for this class of measures.

2. Measures of Systems Management Ability. These measures consisted of response time andaccuracy. The procedures for scoring response times were identical with those described above and similarresults were obtained. Inspection of the data revealed that there was too little variation in accuracy scoresfor these measures to be useful predictors so they were excluded from further processing and analysis.

3. Measures of Flying Procedures Compliance: These discrete measures were scored by simplycalculating the percent of correct responses out of the total opportunities presented. These percentageswere then Z scored.

Automatic Data Processing,

The data entered on the test forms was scored and then keypunched on IBM cards. After verification.these cards were read onto magnetic tape and all further data processing and statistical analyses wereperformed on AFHRL/FT's SEL136 computer.

Criteria

The selection of criteria measures for quantifying achievement in UPT is not -a simple, straightforwardprocess. As with most human undertakings, "success" is a relative matter, and may be viewed from eitherin individual- or institutional standpoint. There is also a temporal aspect to this problem and thedeterminatiOn of when criteria have ripened sufficiently is a subjeCtive judgment. But there do existpractical considerations in UPT which, to some extent, force an operational definition of "success." At themost primitive measurement level passing or failing students may be identified; this crude dichotoMy can berefined by using the grades assigned to students based on the performance they exhibit during training. Anadditional consideration is that the vast bulk of student attrition occurs early (i.e., first eight weeks) in theT-37 phase of UPT.

Conclusions that may be drawn frOm the preceding paragraph are:

1. The T-37 phase of UPT is an apprOpriatetime to develop criteria:

2. A choice must be made to use piss-fail and/or performance grades as criteria. Consequently, thispoint will be discussed in some detail.

Pass-fail is an uncomplicated criterion measure, but it may. in some cases, be inappropriate. There aresix Air Force categories for attrition, or failure, in UPT: flying deficiency, self-initiated elimination,manifestation of anxiety, academic, medical, and administrative. AlthOugh it has been argued that the firstfour categories reflect a lack of flying ability, experienced investigators know this is often not the case.Student motivation, managerial attitudes, administrative convenience, and a plethora of less easily labeledcircumstances invalidate such an assumption. However, the pass-fail criterion is extremely easy to use and,since it did not complicate the analysis, it was included.

Performance Grades -

T -37 phase performance grades offer criteria that more closely sample the domain of flying ability.These grades are generated under nearly equivalent test conditions, assigned by highly experienced checkpilots and trained IPs, and can be combined to prOduce a more accurate (and probably stable) picture ofthe student's capability. Admittedly. most of these grades are based on ratings, but these ratings arejudiciously allocated. In fact, these grades represent the best measures of flying ability available in the T-37phase of UPT.

Four T-37 phase performance grades were obtained for each non-attriting student. These grades andtheir composition were as follows: .

1. T-37 instrument check-ride grade. Composed of the summed ratings on maneuvers given on theT-37 instrument flight check.

2. Combined T-37 check-ride gnides. The arithmetic mean of the rating scores obtained on the twoT-37 phase contact check rides and the T-37 instrument check.

3. T-37 flying score. A composite of (1) and (2), above, combined with ratings on maneuvers whichwere assigned daily by the student's IP.

4. Overall T-37 phase grade. The final grade assigned at the completion of the T-37 phase; composedOf (1), (2) and (3), above. and the student's academic grade.

After careful consideration, the T-37 instrument check, the T-37 check rides, and the overall T-37phase grade were selected as criteria to be used in this study.

Data Analysis

The data analysis was based on three sequential steps: combining individual test items into largerunits of analysis; determining the reliability of these units: and, developing the equation to express therelationship between predictor variables and criteria.

Item Combination. The 25 tests were composed of 342 items of which 208 were defined ascontinuous measurements and 134 were defined as discrete measurements-Since the total number of UPTstudents, participating in the study was only 128, it was necessary to conibine these items in a logicalmanner to-avoid.over-determination of prediction. This problem had been foreseen at the outset of theStudy and its .solution was easily obtained. The test items, were merely the observed parameters of certainselected piloting and psychomotor tasks; e.g., straight and level instrument flight and response time, whichhad been converted into Z scores. Thus, the various items could be readily combined into perfectlyhomogeneous groups of tasks. The proper nomenclature for these item groupings is a maneuver, anactivity, or a procedure, depending upon the nature Of the task involved. Tables 3,4, and 5 identify thesetask groupings and list the number of items so combined.

Table 9 is abstracted from Table D-2 in Appendix D. It shows the correlations obtained between theAFOQT Battery and the T-37 criteria as well as the intercorrelations of the criteria. The findings of majorinterest revealed in Table 9 may be briefly summarized. There are no correlations significant at even the .05level between any of the AFOOT subtests and the T-37 phase criteria. In fact, the highest correlationsobserved account for only 2.25 percent of the variance and the "direction" of one-half of these is reversed(i.e., negative). As would be expected (considering their composition), T-37 phase criteria are stronglyintercorrelated with in-common variances ranging from 50 to 80 percent.

Two prediction equations were developed for each of the three T-37 phase criteria. The firstprediction equation in each set was unrestricted; i.e., predictor variables were chosen without restraint sothat their designation was determined solely by the mathematics of the forward selection process. Thesecond prediction equation forced in the five subtests of the AFOQT and then permitted the forwardselection prodess to operate freely. The complete set of six equations is reproduced in Tables E-1 through.E-6 in Appendix E.

Table 10 contains summary information derived from the forward selection procedure. For eachselection condition, the multiple correlation produced and variance accounted for by the selected predictorvariables is listed.

The results shown in Table 10 speak for themselves and little need be added. Obviously, the jobsample testing approach proved successful in predicting a large portion of the student's measuredperformance in the T-37 phase of UPT.

Correlations with the Pass-Fail Criterion

As discussed in Section II, Methods and Procedures, from the viewpoint of the training manager UPTstudents fall into two categorically distinct classes: those who pass and those who fail. To determine therelationships between predictor variables and this criterion, the point biserial correlation coefficient wascomputed. Although the total degrees of freedom for these correlations is 126, tables exist for 125 degreesof freedom and these were used. The means and standard deviations for all predictor variables are given inTable F-1 in Appendix F. The percentage of successful students was 55 percent; thus the pq ratio is verynear 11/9, which is comfortably close to a 50.50 split. Table F-2 presents the complete correlation matrixobtained between the predictor variables and the criterion.

Table 11 is a partial summary of this matrix and gives the correlations between the job samplepredictor tests and the pass-fail criterion. Compared to the correlations shown in Table 8, these findings are.disappointing. Only nine of the maneuvers were significant at the .05 level of which two were significant atthe .01 level. None of the activities correlations were significant at the .05 level. Three procedures hadsignificant correlations at the .05 level. One subtest of the AFOQT was significant at the .05 level, but,unfortunately, with a reversed sign from that designed for UPT selection.

As was done for the T-37 phase criteria, two prediction equations were developed for the pass-failcriterion. Once again the first equation was unrestricted and the second equation forced in the five subtestsof the AFOQT. These two equations are given in their entirety in Tables G-I and Q-2, Appendix G.

Table 12 summarizes the results of the forward selection procedure when applied to the pass-failcriterion. While it is true that the multiple correlations are significant at the .05 level for the five subtests ofthe AFOQT and at the .01 level when job sample instruments are included, these predictors account foronly 9 and 20 percent of the pass-fail variance, respectively. Even the latter value would be of marginalutility when applied to OPT selection.

IV. DISCUSSION

The discussion of the 1.40 screening study will be centered about five major topics that warrant

further elaboration ac d clarification. These topics arc: (1) the training Ly-product of the study, (2) data

collection and scoring, (3) the valid predictive tasks, (4) a proposed operational program for UPT scii!ening,

and (5) the problem of predicting UPT attrition not attributable to flying deficiency.

Training Accomplished

The secondary objective of this study etas to provide each student with a general knowledge of basic

instrument flying skills. Although the evidence that this was accomplished is subjective and anecdotal, it is

believed that this objective was achieved. The Average student participating in this study gained an

understanding of the basic principles of flight, acquired proficiency in the manipulation of a jet aircraftflight control system, learned how to read and interpret aircraft instrumentation, and became familiar with

the cockpit environment. 1

This was the student's first exposure to the military flight training system and the methods used in

this system. To lend realism to the training situation, the student was required to strap in the trainercockpit using a parachute harness, shoulder straps and lap belt. The student also wore his flight helmet and

oxygen mask during the sortie. All trainer instructions were received by the student over the headphones.

Through the use of these procedures, the program was, to a large extent, successful in accomplishing

the desired training. In comparing the training received in the 1.40 screening program with that received inthe T41 program, the most noticeable advantages of the light aircraft program can be attributed to actualflight. The flight environment provides training in the use of external visual references essential to contact

flying. Some indications of the candidate's ability to handle apprehension and become accustomed to flight

motion may also be observed in the 1-41 program.

The light aircraft program provides valuable training in the use of checklists, aircraft systems

knowledge, taxiing, take-off and landing, and contact pilotage. Both progruns provide a basicunderstanding of the principles of flight. The 1-40 program furnishes the student proficiency in basic

instrument flying skills, familiarity with the jet trainer cockpit environment, and a feel for the control and

power response of a jet aircraft.

-Preciiitors

The nature of the 'forward selection procedure was such that it selected the most economical methodof combining Predictors to get a least squares fit. In effect, the procedure "looked at" the entire correlation'mainic-and picked 'those variables that accounted for a significant portion of the criteria with the leastamount Of Overlap between predictors. The result of this process;was to select-the following maneuvers tobe the ,inoit valid combination of tasks in predicting T-37 phase performance scores and T-37 phasepass/faiE These maneuvers were: (1).straight and level flight,,(2) pitch, control maneuvers, (3) airspeedchanges; (4) rate climbs or descents, and (5) complex turns.

Of the activities, the double light response time task was the most effective predictor. The 30° turnrollout procedure was Often a valuable addition to the prediction equation.

The tasks proven effective are obviously basic instrument tasks, taught and scored early in theprogram. Good performance on these tasks require the ability to rapidly comprehend and utilize:

1.. Instrument display information:

2. The relationship between the instrument display and aircraft control; i.e., "stay ahead of the aircraft."3. . Actions and reactions to control 'movernents; i.e., "feel of the aircraft."Simply stated, the UPT candidate-with the ability to rapidly convert verbal instruction into effective

Prediction of UPT Attrition

-students as "non-attritors" or "attritors.7 These results seem logically inconsistent and require- further

explanation.

It is believed that tests of ability ,per se, will not succeed in predicting student attrition in the presentUPT environment-. 'Ability is a necessary ingredient in UPT; but 'alone, it- is not sufficient to insuregraduation froni_the-program. Other factors; = personal motivation, the.training milieu,,the military image,etc. =have heavy, but unknown, weights in the pais-fail equatiOn.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The conclusions that may be drawn from the T-40 study are as follovs:

1. Job sample tests provide a valid approach for UPT screening and selection. Their validity,however, is limited to the prediction of student flying proficiency; such tests do not effectively discriminatebaween attriting and non-attriting UPT candidates because the bulk of attrition results from factors notrelated to primary flight abilities.

2. Job sample testing can be economically implemented: assessments of student performance can beaccomplished within a brief period (i.e., 3 hours, 45 minutes) for personnel naive to flying.

Two recommendations are made:

1. Further development of the job sample test approach is warranted; this to include both testcontent and equipment.

2. The existing selection battery is not adequate with respect to reducing UPT student attrition;other dimensions of personality and behavior must be assessed.

3. Steep Turns 60° of Bank

This maneuver is. not normally done in actual instrument condi-tions. It is practiced to improve the crosscheck. In a steep turn therate of change in airspeed and altitude is faster. In order to keepdeviations small, they must,be quickly recognized and quickly andaccurately corrected.

In a steep turn, lift decreases because the wings are not parallelto the horizon. To maintain level flight a slight pitch increase isnecessary. The steep turn also increases the drag. Therefore, a slightpower increase (3-5% RPM) is required to maintain:airspeed.

Roll' smoothly into 60° of bank. Keep the fuselage dot exactly onthe horizon until you see a need, for a change on the VVI. As you pass45° of bank increase back pressure. Add power as required. The cross-check for a steep turn is the same as a normal turn.

The pitch the aircraft requires to main-tain level flight largely depends on air-speed. You must be aware that everytime youchange airspeed 'in level flight, you can alsoexpect to have to readjust the attitude indi-cator in order to superimpose the minatureaircraft on the, horizon bar.

An attitude warning flag will appear onthis indicator whenever electrical .power tothe system has failed or is interrupted. Theinstrument is unreliable whenever this "offflag" is visible.
