Todd McClamroch from My Flight Blog.com is our guest this episode. Toddâs site is one of the longest running General Aviation blogs around, and has been featured in the press including Wall Street Journal, AOPA Pilot and AOPA Flight Training Magazine. We talk about reasons for the high dropout rate among student pilots, including the lack of inclusion in pilot communities, the role of the CFI and mentors in helping students complete their flight training, and the the value of events for...

The motivation for using Flight Training Synthetic Environment Technology (FTSET) in military aviation is to create a cost-efficient and a risk-managed training environment. However, deciding on the appropriate mix of synthetic versus actual flight training remains a great unresolved issue. Further, FTSET usage and its adoption level may vary across the aviation community and flight training curricula. TUAA has employed FTSET in helicopter flight training since 1990. Since then, it has...

A gas chromatograph (GC)/mass spectrometer (MS) system that allows the speciation of unburnt hydrocarbons in the combustor exhaust has been developed at the NASA Lewis Research Center. Combustion gas samples are withdrawn through a water-cooled sampling probe which, when not in use, is protected from contamination by a high-pressure nitrogen purge. The sample line and its connecting lines, filters, and valves are all ultraclean and are heated to avoid condensation. The system has resolution to...

The Seyfert nucleus of NGC 4151 was monitored for six years, including periods of intensive study of the complex variations in the ultraviolet spectra with IUE. Important IUE results relating to the broad line region (BLR) and its physical conditions are reviewed herein. Active galactic nuclei like NGC 4151 are studied to derive detailed constraints on radiation mechanisms and physical conditions in the emission region, and hence also constraints on possible central power sources.

A quantitative analysis was carried out on the performance of turboprop aircraft within a microburst windshear. The objective of the analysis was to provide specific flight procedures for optimal navigation through the windshear. The microburst windshear model uses in the analysis embodied the severe characteristics of the microburst encountered by Delta Flight 191 during an approach to landing at Dallas/Ft. Worth, 2 August 1985. Different escape strategies were tested using the flight...

Above real-time training (ARTT) is an instructional strategy in which events in a training simulator occur faster than normal. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate applications of ARTT for training air combat skills and emergency procedures. Two of these experiments were conducted with experienced Air Force F-16 pilots who practiced air-to-air radar skills, air intercepts, and emergency procedures using conventional, real-time simulation or ARTT at 1.5 times real time. The pilots...

Performance, perceived stress, psychological moods, and serum and urinary biochemical measures were analyzed in a sample of naval aviators undergoing replacement air group training in the F-4 aircraft. The aviators, as a group, rated the first F-4 flight as the most stressful training flight and concomitantly showed significant increases in serum lactic acid, pyruvic acid, urinary norepinephrine and urinary creatinine during this flight. Pilots throughout training obtained significantly higher...

This is a guide for use by the practical researcher concerned with conducting studies of transfer from pretraining of pilots in ground-based environments to performance in aircraft. While the material addresses principally transfer of learning of pilots, many of the issues should be applicable to other contexts, to include training of other aircrew members or even individuals who have quite different tasks to perform. The paper does not deal with theory but, rather, is concerned entirely with...

The Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), colloquially labeled the drone, has become iconic of American military campaigns this century. However, with surging demand for RPA combat operations, the United States Air Force (USAF) has struggled to train and retain sufficient manpower to operate these aircraft. Earlier efforts to address this challenge relied on military intuition and subjective input instead of objective analysis, engendering significant manpower shortfalls and jeopardizing USAF...

The three studies, described in this report, concerned the assessment of procedures which influence instrument sensitivity in military flight instruction. The ability to determine the relative location of an in-flight vehicle from a set of dial indicators was influenced more by students' expectations than by context. Sensitivity to heading and attitude information was increased when learners were supplied with overt attention control. The teaching of instrument sensitivity appears best...

The Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) is used to qualify men and women for commissions in the Air Force, classify them for pilot and navigator jobs, and award Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships. Despite more than three decades of use, little published literature exists outside of Air Force technical reports that do not receive wide distribution. One of the most important details about a test battery is which factors it measures. To determine this, several factor models...

This study is an analysis of the adequacy of the current aviation training doctrine. Over the last ten years, aviator experience levels have decreased. This erosion of experience has an enormous impact on aviation unit readiness and the readiness of the United States Army. The study is supported by an overview of the perceived inexperience. It quantifies this lack of experience with statistics and facts that, in fact, identify an actual inexperience problem. This thesis analyzes the current...

He describes the difficult conditions placed upon the flyers by a system inadequately...

Visual accommodation of 172 naval aviators in the dark was measured and compared to their most recent night carrier landing scores and the average distance at which an adversary aircraft was first sighted during air combat maneuver training. No significant correlations were found between the accommodation measures and either measure of operational performance. Reasons for this result are discussed. Accommodation measures in the aviator sample in the dark are compared to measures made in samples...

The current report concerns the use of an automated performance-based test battery, measuring various aspects of cognitive and psychomotor function, to eventually predict the flight performance of Marine jet pilots during various stages of flight training while comparing their test results to those of other aviation communities. A group of Marine jet pilots assigned to operate...

Here, the criterion variable of interest is a grade assigned to Navy and Marine Corps student aviators at the end of Primary flight training. It would be of value to be able to predict such a flight grade based on prior existing information. The prior information is inserted into a linear regression model through some number of predictor variables. We are currently focusing our efforts on predictor...

Spatial disorientation (SD) is a misperception of the attitude, position, or motion of an aircraft with respect to the ground or to other aircraft. SD continues to be a major contributor to Air Force mishaps, costing the Air Force $1.4 billion from 1992 2001. Twenty-eight aircraft were lost during this time, and the mishap rate due to SD remained relatively constant at 0.3 Class A mishaps per 100,000 hours flown. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) manages a spatial disorientation...
