Results of an earlier study indicated that revised instructional methodologies could be used to save a significant number of T-37 aircraft hours when applied to the instrument training phase of Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT). To determine the operational feasibility of adopting these methodologies command-wide, the 82d Flying Training Wing, Williams Air Force Base, Arizona, in consultation with AFHRL, Flying Training Division personnel, trained a total UPT class using the revised procedures. This report summarizes the methods used in the T-37 phase of the project and includes a copy of the revised syllabus, the Air Training Command prepared evaluation report, and associated schedules and flow charts. The potential savings demonstrated in this study averaged 42% (8.8 T-37 hours) per student for the instrument training phase and it is recommended that favorable consideration be given to command-wide application.

Includes Diagrams, Checklists, Approach plates and area charts for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator version of UPT Training. Covers Basic, Contact, Instrument, Navigation and Formation flying in above aircraft. Short historical perspective of Desert Shield/Storm, first Gulf War.

The objective of this study was to determine the time required to perform selected undergraduate pilot training maneuvers in the T-37 and T-38 aircraft. This report describes the method of collecting data and the maneuvers selected for investigation. The data for each maneuver was analyzed to provide maximum and minimum values, means and standard deviations. Implications of the data for syllabus development are presented.
