Abstract

This article, the tenth in a series describing the various phases of the Army Aviation Psychology Program, outlines the research on pilot selection and training. "Most of the research has been conducted in two main areas: objective measures of flying skill, and instructor selection. Other research includes a job analysis of the pilot's task, the development of printed tests of flying information, studies in fixed gunnery, and training experiments." The outline is supplemented with examples of research results. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
