Abstract
This study evaluated an Air Force research tool aimed at transforming the aircraft on-the-job flightline learning environment by supporting a variety of learning preferences through a Job-Aiding and Training Tool (JATT.) A comparative evaluation was conducted between the traditional presentation of maintenance task information (PDF) and a training enhanced information presentation (JATT). The study found that use of the training enhanced presentation significantly improved total completion time by 16%, decreased errors by 49%, while decreasing the number of trainer assists by 73%. JATT users liked the system 22% more, rated the helpfulness of the interface 30% higher, found the interface 66% less frustrating and felt 35% more confident than did PDF users during their performance of the maintenance activity.
