A training research program was initiated by the Air Force in 1984 to study applications of microcomputer technology to aircrew training. Emphasis was placed on the development of a methodology for identifying opportunities for part-task trainer applications and on demonstrations of the potential of part-task trainers built around microprocessor technology. Out of that program a number of part-task trainers have been developed and are being used to support pilot training programs. The most recent of these, the Air Intercept Trainer (AIT), is a low-cost, high fidelity, classroom device used for training F-16 air-to-air intercept skills. The intercept performance of experienced pilots converting from the F-106 to the F-16 who trained on the AIT was compared to the performance of others using classroom procedures. The AIT is described briefly and the results of the experiment are presented.
