Abstract
Seventeen pilots of varying degrees of experience each performed two complex manoeuvres on each of two separated occasions. The differences between their performances on the two trials were measured, and it appeared that the more experienced pilots showed smaller changes between the two trials than did the less experienced pilots. The effect of experience on accuracy in carrying out manoeuvres was less marked.
These results suggest that measurement of consistency may be useful as an objective index of pilot performance for comparing training methods and environmental conditions.
