The coefficients for need scales were in the 50's and 60's (2 of 15 were below .50). Mean scores on 7 of the need scales changed significantly over the seven-week intertest interval.

Use of simulation in training helicopter pilots has been minimal, but recently two devices were developed to provide ... |

The EPPS failed to discriminate between student aviators who completed training successfully and those who dropped voluntarily or failed due to poor performance. (Author) |
