Abstract
Measures of helicopter pilot proficiency were obtained on samples of student pilots in two training phases. Measures were based on students' performance on 16 and 12 separate maneuvers in the Primary and Basic training phases respectively. Intercorrelatitons of maneuvers in each phase were subjected to factor analysis. In both phases maneuver performance could be described in terms of six or seven clearly interpretable common factors. The results were discussed in terms of the implications for understanding the structure and measurement of skilled psychomotor performance.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
