This chapter presents preliminary findings from an attempt to identify situation assessment and decision making processes that account for differences in observed mission performance among skilled fighter pilots. The impetus for the study came directly from the US Air Force Chief of Staff. In 1991, he posed a number of questions concerning situation awareness 'SA' for the F-15 fighter world. From a naturalistic, as well as an operational Air Force perspective, SA is more than simply knowledge and understanding of the environment.
