The purpose of the study was to develop a standardized curriculum for pilot training which can be used in response to ever-increasing demand for the pilot-with baccalaureate. The demand is partly in response to the military's curtailment of training of pilots for other than their own needs. The demise of the G.I. Bill for flight training has increased demand for pilot training in higher education. / Precedent for standardization exists, expecially in the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) in World War II. The expense and complexity of pilot training today demand optimum use of resources. / The many curricular organizational models which exist indicate the necessity for organization. Development of a list of elements is but one step in the organizational model used. / The four groups represented within the panel were Air Carriers, the Air Force, the Navy and General Aviation. The differences exhibited as groups were generally attributable to differences in mission . The Delphi survey technique was used to elicit this information. / Programs reviewed were the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Purdue University, the University of Illinois, the University of South Alabama and the Federal Aviation Administration. Of the 756 elements listed as being taught by any of the programs, 94.6% were considered Mandatory by a panel of twelve experts in aviation education. Not Recommended were 0.2% of the elements. / A standardized aviation pilot training program at the pre-specialization level which will satisfy the needs of all sectors of aviation is possible. Organizations which teach pilots do not teach significantly different elements through the pre-specialization level. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-12, Section: A, page: 3830. / Thesis (Educat.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
