Means were devised for improving and standardizing the study practices of Naval air trainees. A manual, 'Successful Study Methods, ' together with a Plan for Implementing the Manual were developed to meet the described needs. The manual contains only material that has been demonstrated by research to contribute to superior learning, described at a language level calculated not to present equivocal meanings to even the lowest level trainee. It incorporates a specific and observable study technique that is widely applicable and at the same time produces in the form of study notes a means whereby the students proper conformance to the method can be readily ascertained. The method and manual are of such simplicity as to demand minimal time both for the indoctrination of students in their use and the indoctrination of instructors and duty officers in their installation and supervision.

This thesis evaluates a modification to the Navy's Basic Instrument flight instruction, the performance of two groups of student aviators was compared. The modifications consisted of a lecture concentrating on the fundamentals of attitude instrument flight. One group of 100 students received the new training while a control group of 100 students did not. Analysis of the flight grades of the two groups revealed no significant difference in their performance. Based on the results of this research it was concluded that the modified basic instrument training did not improve the performance of student naval aviators. However, the modified lecture and training did improve the student's understanding of basic instrument fundamentals. The study recommended that the modified lecture should be continued as part of the syllabus because the benefits from affording the student aviators with additional training exceed the small costs involved.

Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.
