The concept of integrated flight training introduces pilot trainees to flight instrument cues early in training and emphasizes the association of those cues with out-the-window “contact” cues. The integrated flight training literature is reviewed separately for civil and military aviation. Conclusions are summarized concerning the potential effect of integrated flight training Oil aviation safety.
