PILOT TRAINING STUDY

Abstract : The purpose of the Pilot Training Study is to produce tools with which to analyze the pilot training process of the Air Force in terms of the resources required to train pilots and the cost of pilot training. These tools allow examination of the training courses themselves, and also of the policy factors which drive the need for pilots. The tools developed consist largely of mathematical simulation models which can be exercised on a computer. Two general types of models are involved. The first type is primarily a decision model, and the second type is a parametric resource and cost model.
