Abstract
Sixteen student pilots performed a task combination designed to measure residual attention. Scores on this combination were correlated with performances on flight checks administered periodically during flight training. The multiple correlation between performances on the flight checks and the task combination increased as the students progressed through flight training. The usefulness of residual attention as a predictor of pilot performance is discussed.Keywords
