Appendix E considers pilot training system elements relating to learning theory, curriculum structure, development of training materials, instructional techniques, student evaluation, student management, and instructor personnel. These elements apply to the pilot training process and when combined with training media, as presented in Appendix F, form a cohesive pilot training system. This Appendix consists of several major sections, each considering one of the above system elements in detail and its relationship with an Undergraduate Pilot Training Program for the 1975 through 1990 time period. Appendix F consists of sections concerning each of the four major pilot training media: Classroom and Learning Center, Cockpit Procedures Trainer, Flight Simulator, and Trainer Aircraft. These media are designed to be mutually supporting when integrated through the systems approach to training. The conceptual designs for new training equipment or recommended modifications of existing equipment were derived to accomplish the training requirements presented in Volume 2.
"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.
Appendix G considers the analytical tools and techniques developed for use in evaluating the Future UPT system alternatives. Included are descriptions of the various models, their assumptions and limitations, their specific application in the analysis process, their relationship to one another, the types of input data required, and the types of output measures available from each. This appendix contains separate sections on each of the models used in the analysis. Appendix H briefly summarizes the Future UPT Instructional Concepts and Future UPT Training Media as described in Volume 3 and combines these elements into viable UPT systems through the Systems approach to training. A syllabus of instruction is developed for each alternative system utilizing the training media and instructional concepts described. A base capacity analysis is presented which examines the maximum base capacity for determining minimum base requirements. Implementation plans are developed for implementing each viable conceptual system. EAch viable system is then described in terms of airspace, runway utilization and operational facility requirements. Management considerations are addressed for the efficient administration and control of Future UPT system resources. (Author).
Air Education and Training Command's acquisition of the T-IA marked the return to specialized undergraduate pilot training (SUPT), once used prior to 1959. Currently, three pilot training bases have completed the transition to the SUPT. All studies leading to SUPT cited cost and improved training quality as major factors in the decision to implement the SUPT concept. While cost figures can be analyzed at any time, the opportunity to evaluate differences between undergraduate pilot training (UPT) and SUPT based on instructor pilot expertise and experience is limited. This study examines the training quality improvements of SUPT as compared to UPT. It begins with an analysis of the two different training syllabi. It then examines two additional questionnaires to develop a unique survey targeted at drawing expert opinions about the differences in training quality of SUPT and UPT graduates. The results of this study verify the projected quality improvements of earlier studies and can be used as a benchmark for future improvements to the SUPT program. Future improvements include evaluating follow-on training and modifying this training to enhance both cost and training benefits of the new SUPT system. This study can provide the foundation necessary to target these future changes.
