Abstract:

The present research was conducted to provide a preliminary look at the feasibility of using a general-purpose trainer rather than an aircraft-specific simulator, to provide formation practice for undergraduate pilot training UPT students. The results obtained appear to support a conclusion that trainer practice does have positive transfer to aircraft formation flying. A principal finding is that students in this study were influenced more by stage of training than were more advanced students in previous studies using the same equipment.
