The principal objective of this research is to determine the validity of the AH-1 candidate evaluation form as a predictor of trainee performance in the AH-1 transition course. It was hypothesized that AH-1 (COBRA) qualified pilots in FORSCOM units would be able to predict, by means of associate ratings, the AH-1 training performance of aviators from their units. It has already been shown that COBRA pilots in cavalry and attack units demonstrate high inter-rater reliability when evaluating the potential success aviators in their units for AH-1 transition and gunship pilot duties (Eastman and McMullen, 1976). This study will determine validity of the Attack Pilot Candidate Evaluation Form in predicting the flight and gunnery transition grades of AH-1 students. An additional variable of interest was the relationship between length of rater-ratee acquaintance and magnitude of the ratings (Freeberg, 1969; Lewin and Zwany, 1976).
