Some studies have suggested the possibility of predicting operational performance in fleet aviation environments. The current report concerns the use of an automated performance-based test battery, involving cognitive and psychomotor functioning, to predict the operational performance of fighter pilots. A group of jet pilots completing Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) training in the F-14 were tested on this battery. The few significant correlations found between the test measures and ACM performance measures were illogically patterned and of insufficient quantity or strength to establish that such a battery would reliably predict ACM performance. This could have been due to the homogeneous nature of the subject group in terms of pilot skills and abilities. Given these results, this particular test battery would probably not be useful in the prediction of flight performance at such a late stage of training as ACM, but it might predict flight performance in earlier training.
