Abstract

Validity and applicability were assessed for a performance measurement methodology developed to evaluate airborne performance on conventional weapon delivery maneuvers. The methodology provides an analysis of pilot performance using a stage-by-stage rating technique. Pilots assigned to an F-4 training squadron served as subjects. Results demonstrated that instructor pilot ratings of the individual stages of the delivery yield a reliable indicator of the quality of performance on that pass. The data address issues regarding which stages of the maneuver were most difficult, which improved most over training, and to what extent this improvement affected performance on the entire delivery.
