Abstract:

This report describes the results of a 2-year longitudinal research program to assess objectively the skill retention levels of relatively low time private pilots. Objectives of this effort were to identify (1) retention patterns for skills needed to perform a representative range of private pilot flight tasks; (2) factors influencing the retention of these skills and the nature and degree of such influences; and (3) continuation training methods to maintain or upgrade the skills. A secondary objective was to assess pilots' ability to predict and evaluate their own proficiency levels.
