Initial Entry Rotary Wing Multi-Track (IERW-MT) flight training was initiated by the U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC) in 1988. Under this program, flight students complete their training in one of four rotary wing aircraft types by the 85th day of flight school. The Army Research Institute Aviation Research and Development Activity (ARIARDA) developed a method to optimize aviator candidate classification for best probability of success. This method was implemented by the USAAVNC in May 1988. In this initial validation study, 686 IERW-MT graduates assigned to training tracks by the ARIARDA-developed procedures provided data to determine if the discriminant functions to be used would accurately match students with their assigned aircraft and to determine if the functions could be enhanced by including other available performance data. This effort also explored the potential of the classification test battery for predicting flight deficiency training setbacks, track flight performance, and common core training performance. The results strongly support the utility of the classification procedure for track assignment and indicate its applicability to performance prediction.
