Abstract
The utility and utilization of the Advanced Instructional Features (AIFs) capabilities of USAF Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs) was explored by means of a survey of 534 Simulator Instructors from Air Training Command, Military Airlift Command, Strategic Air Command, and Tactical Air Command training sites. The primary purpose of the survey was to provide a database that could be used in defining the requirements for ATD procurements and in developing future ATD training programs. In general, the features that were rated highest in utility and utilization were those used for training management, variation of task difficulty/fidelity, and monitoring student performance. The level of AIF use was affected somewhat by hardware and/or software deficiencies; however, the presumed training value of an AIF was the most important determiner of its use.
