Abstract

Guidelines for microprocessor based skill trainers are presented. A training program for air traffic control (ATC) of rendezvous for inflight refueling is described. The program seeks to optimize practice for developing automatic component skills. The program sequences the trainee through 10 stages to develop spatial skills for ATC. The resulting training program can develop fast, accurate, and reliable performance on the individual components with only a few hours' training per component. The proposed approach is contrasted with current training methods. The general applicability of the guidelines to microprocessor based skill trainers is described.
