Abstract

Abstract : The utility of training task-relevant visual discrimination stalls as prerequisite behaviors for subsequently taught landing skills was investigated in this study. A multi-media training package was developed and used to impart visual skills to student pilots prior to their training on the flightline in landing procedures in the T-37 aircraft. The transfer of the visual discrimination skills of the landing field environment was assessed by measuring students' landing skills in the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training and in the T-37 aircraft. Results showed that pretrained and non-pretrained student group performances on most measures were not significantly different. In several specific parameters of performance, non-pretrained groups performed significantly better in the aircraft transfer tests as rated by instructor pilots. (Author)
