Abstract:

The study was an operational evaluation of two methods of instruction sequencing for the T-38 phase of Undergraduate Pilot Training. Scheduling of concentrated trainer phases prior to aircraft flight improved student performance for early aircraft rides as compared with an intermixed trainer and aircraft schedule. Although grade differences washed out prior to graduation, the students who trained under the block schedule completed training in 38 fewer aircraft flights than the students who trained under the intermixed schedule.
