Enhanced Learnability Of Flight Techniques Through The Introduction Of Targeted Observation Flights With Ab-Initio Through Advanced Flight Training Candidates, Gary A. Carter M.Div., Nicola M. O'Toole M.S., John M. Robbins Ph.D.

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

Flight training paradigms exist to provide a framework for instructors to relay both technical and applied knowledge to students in the most efficient way possible. Traditional methods imply the use of pre/post flight briefings coincident with flight in either an actual or simulated environments. The demonstration of maneuvers may be accomplished by the instructor followed by the student or solely by the student. In this phase, aeronautical knowledge, procedural knowledge, and performance metrics are usually assessed. With regard to enhanced learnability, the study of effectiveness becomes critical to the application of new methods that could significantly lower the amount of …
