摘要：	In this paper, we discuss the application of basic psychometric principles to the problem of assessing aircrew performance. In particular, we are concerned with evaluating aircrews under the Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) in high fidelity, full-flight simulators. A major goal of AQP is to provide the carrier with a quality assurance program which ensures that aircrew members have the highest possible level of proficiency on all technical and management skills relevant to the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft. The implementation of a quality assurance program requires a database system that begins with an explicit set of qualification standards that are based on job task listings. These qualification standards drive the content of the curriculum, which in turn drive an assessment process that explicitly evaluates pilots on these qualification standards. The data from the assessment process provides feedback regarding the content and delivery of the curriculum. This feedback in turn allows for continuous improvements in curriculum design, as well as better directing the allocation of training efforts to those knowledges and skills that are weakest. When functioning properly this system will ensure that all aircrew members attain and maintain a pre-specified standard of proficiency. Thus, it can be seen that quality assurance requires quality assessment. A quality assurance program can only be as good as its weakest link. The qualification standards must be based on a careful analysis of job task listings. The curriculum and instruction must be designed to train to the qualification standards. And finally, the focus of this chapter, the assessment tools must provide a reliable and valid evaluation of performance. It is of the utmost importance to realize that under AQP we are not simply assessing individuals, we are assessing the viability of the curriculum, the instructors, and the evaluators. From this perspective, the primary function of assessment is to improve training and thereby provide highly qualified aircrews.
