Abstract
Sixteen student pilots performed a task combination designed to measure residual attention. Scores on this combination were correlated with performances on flight checks administered periodically during flight training. The multiple correlation between performances on the flight checks and the task combination increased as the students progressed through flight training. The usefulness of residual attention as a predictor of pilot performance is discussed.

A new technique for measuring individual differences in basic attention capabilities and the validity of these differences in predicting success in flight training were investigated and several dimensions of attention capabilities are suggested.

The flight performance controller yielded greater precision of maneuvering control, fewer procedural blunders, and an increased level of residual pilot attention as well as changing waypoint storage capacity of the simulated navigation system.
