Description
Summary:A methodology was developed to evaluate pilot performance on the pop- up weapon delivery. Instructor pilot ratings were used to measure performance on the critical stages of the maneuver. Validity of the methodology was assessed using 21 pilots assigned to an F-4 training squadron. Results indicate that instructor pilot ratings of individual stages of the delivery yield a reliable index of the quality of performance on the maneuver. The individual stage performance ratings identified the proficiency levels attained on certain flying skill areas critical to mission readiness. This information enabled an examination of the relationship between pilot learning and training program design.
