Cadets at the USAF Academy must successfully complete the USAFA T-41 Pilot Indoctrination Program (PIP) in order to enter any USAF pilot training program after graduation. There is a growing interest within the Air Force in developing effective screening measures to predict successful performance in pilot training. This study investigates the relationship between cadet performance in the USAFA T-41 PIP and subsequent graduate performance in two USAF pilot training programs: Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) and Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT). The study concludes that performance in T-41 PIP is closely and directly related to performance in UPT/ENJJPT in the sample studied. It also recommends that USAFA establish an ongoing program for tracking and analyzing T-41 PIP performance with respect to subsequent performance in USAF pilot training programs.
