Flight training

Looking at the relation of flight training with the attitude probes, an ANOVA revealed two significant relationships. One is with the attitude probe 6, ``surprises,'' (Pr > F .05) and the other with probe 8 ``ahead of the airplane'' (Pr > F .05). On average pilots of all training backgrounds agreed with both of these probes. A Scheffe test was performed to determine which pairs of flight training backgrounds were significantly different. The Scheffe test showed no pairwise significant differences on the probe ``There are still modes that surprise me''. Airforce pilots had a significantly higher level of agreement than marine pilots on attitude probe 8, ``Automation helps me stay ahead of the airplane''.
