  • Abstract:
    Since the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act (ADA) in 1978, the need for professionally--trained air carrier pilots in the United States has expanded substantially. Postsecondary academic institutions have replaced the military as a major source of cockpit staff. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of University Aviation Association (UAA) member postsecondary institutions that were experiencing student delays in flight certification. Such delays can lead to increased costs for the student, the failure to complete the intended academic program, and an interruption in career progression. The study also sought to determine: if the delays were increasing or decreasing; if there was a difference between less--than--four--year and four--year postsecondary flight training institutions; and whether flight simulation, student monitoring, weather, geographic location, instructor availability, instructor turnover, aircraft availability, and institutional financial and grading policies were related to flight student training progression. The study revealed that approximately 88 percent of the respondents noted that they were experiencing a problem with flight student progress delays at their institution. The research indicated that institutional financial policies and the use of ground--based training devices were associated with a reduction in flight training progress delays. Tables, 21 p.
