Training Research Program and Plans: Advanced Simulation in Undergraduate Pilot Training

“…It is proposed that the evidence Is sufficient to support Institution o , certain forms of pre-cognitive training directly Into the training program. These Involve those techniques demonstrated to be efficient by Flexman, et al (1950) and Flexman, et al (1954).…”
