This dissertation project studied historical data to provide descriptive relationships between the United States Air Force's (USAF) Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) attrition and a fighter pilot's performance on their first four checkrides in fighter aircraft as new mission ready pilots. Furthermore, it compared historical data to that representing the timeframe after the USAF introduced its new T-6 primary training aircraft to its training fleet to see if this modernization program or initiatives to leverage the newer technology have created a demonstrated improvement in the program's product if only examining for the fighter pilot performance in the same way. Lastly, it also analyzed other factors such as undergraduate education degree type (technical or non-technical), and grade point average correlated to performance as a fighter pilot in the same manner.

520 $a This dissertation project studied historical data to provide descriptive relationships between the United States Air Force's (USAF) Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) attrition and a fighter pilot's performance on their first four checkrides in fighter aircraft as new mission ready pilots. Furthermore, it compared historical data to that representing the timeframe after the USAF introduced its new T-6 primary training aircraft to its training fleet to see if this modernization program or initiatives to leverage the newer technology have created a demonstrated improvement in the program's product if only examining for the fighter pilot performance in the same way. Lastly, it also analyzed other factors such as undergraduate education degree type (technical or non-technical), and grade point average correlated to performance as a fighter pilot in the same manner.
520 $a The data analysis indicates that there is a decrease in the performance of new fighter pilots produced when their undergraduate pilot training program's attrition dropped below 15 percent. It also shows that the introduction of the new T-6 primary aircraft trainer did not improve performance. Furthermore the data and analysis show that there is a relationship between improved performance as a new fighter pilot and an undergraduate GPA above 3.4 on a 4.0 scale.
520 $a Using the same methodology to look at potential pre-entry undergraduate academic path and performance discriminators, the data showed a relationship to newly assigned Air Force fighter pilots which graduate with a GPA at or above 3.4 on a scale of 4.0. Interestingly, non-technical degree holders performed better on their first four checkrides than technical degree holders.
