The Training Programs Branch of the 34th Tactical Airlift Training Group (TATG) conducted a study to explore the applications of the Instrument Flight Simulator (IFS) to pilot and navigator training. The study was conducted using four test classes. After a standard academic course, classes of pilots and navigators were divided into test and control groups. The test groups were trained using a predesigned simulator syllabus and their performance was measured in the aircraft. The control groups received their training only in the aircraft before completing the same performance measurement. The study results in terms of subjective and objective data showed that the IFS could reasonably support a training effectiveness ratio of approximately 0.5. The best training strategy appears to be an integration of IFS missions among flying missions and ground training rather than in one block.
