Practice Makes Perfect.

摘要

This paper is an outgrowth of research and development in the application of flight simulation to training air-to-ground combat missions. Numerous discussions with subject-matter experts led to the opinion expressed in this paper that today's pilots do not get the amount of practice at each skill level that would be required for them to achieve their full potential. Unfortunately, task flying frequency requirements are driven by logistics and finances more than training requirements. This paper offers the notion that if pilots were trained in the same way as athletes are trained, substantial improvements in mission effectiveness would result. In the end, everyone stands to lose if pilots are not given the very best training that technology has to offer. (Author)
