Recurring naval student flight errors were collected using three types of task analytic methodologies: maneuver description questionnaires, critical incident technique of observed student problems and inflight maneuver rating forms. The results from these three efforts were highly correlated, which indicated that the task analytic methodology was valid; and therefore, would have utility in the future development of a performance battery for environmental research.
