Effects on A-6E Bombardier/Navigator Flight Training with the Introduction of Device 2F114, A-6E Weapon System Trainer.

摘要

As weapon systems grow increasingly complex and sophisticated, the training requirements for operator personnel become correspondingly more demanding. This increase in training requirements, coupled with increased operational costs, necessitates the use of simulators as an integral part of many training programs. With the introduction of device 2F114, A-6E Weapon System Trainer, the A-6 community will have a state-of-the-art simulator to employ in their training programs. Along with new devices, training programs must become more responsive to factors influencing training effectiveness and transfer of training. This report explores factors influencing simulator training effectiveness, and compares them with factors incorporated in device 2F114 and proposed training syllabi. Appendix B, 'Alternatives in Bombardier/Navigator Training,' identifies syllabus flights that have the potential to be substituted by the A-6E Weapon System Trainer. (Author)
