Abstract

This paper is an examination of the adult (andragogical) learning methods required to teach flying skills to pilots of state-of- the-art, computerized aircraft. The concepts of the learning process, andragogical teaching methods, student need-to-know, student motivation, and self-directed learning are examined. The paper concludes that andragogical methods must be used in order to transfer the required skills.
