This paper describes The Basic Flight Instruction Tutoring System (BFITS) recently developed for the U.S. Air Force's Human Resources Directorate. BFITS is designed to teach a student, in thirty-one lessons, about airplanes, aerodynamics, flight controls and instruments, and flight maneuvers from basic climbs and descents to landing and departure stalls, to complete traffic patterns with and without crosswinds. BFITS consists of three modules: an instructor module that teaches the 'what' of aerodynamics and flying using text, graphics, and animation; the simulator module that teaches the 'how' of flying a small airplane; and the performance evaluator module that evaluates the student's performance, provides feedback, controls student advancement, and saves data for review and subsequent analysis. The system runs on an IBM compatible computer configured with off-the-shelf components.
