Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to provide reference data concerning differences in student quality among the various procurement sources for the flight and Naval Aviation Officer NAO programs. Based upon a composite ranking of aptitude, performance, and attrition, the flight students procured from USNNROTC, the Naval Academy, USCG, and USMC sources were superior. Those flight students procured from USNRDP, USMCR, MarCad, and AOC sources were poorest with respect to their composite ranking. The AOC type NAO students surpassed OI type NAO students in average pre-flight performance however, the OI NAOs were superior to the AOC NAOs in average NAO Basic School performance. In the areas of pre-flight performance and pre-flight attrition where comparisons between NAO and flight students were possible, the flight students were generally superior to NAOs. MarCads, AOC flight students, and AOC NAO students had excessively high medical failure rates. Author
