In 1962 the Navy established a campus Flight Indoctrination Program (FIP) which allowed NROTC students to earn a private pilot's license. The objectives were to attract more NROTC students to aviation, improve screening of flight applicants, and to reduce flight training time. The results were favorable. Input figures for NROTC students into flight training showed a significant increase after inception of FIP. A group of 353 FIP NROTC graduates compared to 143 non-FIP NROTC graduates was superior in terms of average grades throughout flight training, and the FIP group's attrition rate was about half that of the non-FIP group. Greatest reduction in training time was in the light plane phase. There is evidence that more careful consideration of campus FIP performance would result in further improvement in screening. In addition, there were a few instances of possible pipeline misassignment of FIP students. Since pipeline is based mainly on the Primary Flight Grade, an artificial elevation of this grade by the previous light plane experience may contribute to misassignment.

The purpose was to evaluate the flight indoctrination program for NROTC midshipmen conducted during the summer of 1961 at the Naval Air Advanced Training Command. A comparison with findings from 1960 was also made. The evidence reported supports the following conclusions: (1) the 1961 NROTC cruises can be considered successful; (2) results indicate a more enthusiastic reaction by the 1961 group than by the 1960 group; (3) multi-engine aircraft were not popular among the students; (4) the career lectures were cited as most beneficial by the students, but the technical curriculum was not considered too worthwhile because of redundancy; and (5) the peer rating system in use was extremely unpopular with the students. Recommendations were that (1) an increase in single engine flight time would increase the students' enthusiasm, (2) increasing the number of career lectures and decreasing the technical lectures are recommended, and (3) an improvement in the peer rating system is needed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the 1962-63 NROTC Aviation Indoctrination Field Tours by identifying changes in the students' knowledge about and attitudes toward aviation and by determining the students' attitudes toward the tour experience. Comparisons with previous NROTC and U.S. Naval Academy groups also were made. As in previous studies the results indicated a favorable endorsement of the AIFT concept. There was strong evidence that the tour contributed to a more realistic picture of naval aviation and an increase in the perceived status of naval aviation. There was evidence, however, that information about the Naval Aviation Officer (NAO) Program was not reaching all of the students. (Author).

The purpose of the research was (1) to determine the effects of the NROTC Aviation Field Indoctrination Tours upon incidental learning about and attitudes toward naval aviation, and (2) to compare the current findings with results from previous studies of Naval Academy and NROTC students. The results indicated a significant increase in incidental knowledge about naval aviation and a favorable attitude shift after the students experienced the tours. The findings closely parallel results from previous studies of Naval Academy and NROTC air indoctrination groups. (Author).

The Naval Air Combat Readiness Training Program, 'Proficiency Flying, ' is a firm and legal part of U.S. Naval Aviation and vast quantities of manpower, aircraft, and dollar resources are assembled to enable deck and desk bound Naval Aviators to fly. In the hope of releasing some of these resources to alternative uses, the Program's contribution to combat readiness was investigated. A thorough review of the literature was followed by an analysis of the effect on readiness of selected flight background variables from a sample of 39 pilots undergoing jet replacement squadron transition training. The study concludes that the Naval Air Combat Readiness Training Program is a necessary part of Naval Aviation but certain modifications should be entertained. (Author).
