A fly-only group (N=16) of Navy replacement pilots undergoing fleet readiness training in the SH-3 helicopter was compared with groups pre-trained on Device 2F64C with: (1) visual only (N=13); (2) no visual/no motion (N=14); and (3) one visual plus motion group (N=19). Groups were compared for their SH-3 helicopter performance in the transition stage of contact flight training. All criterion measures, such as trials-to-mastery, the number of flights and number of hours in the transition stage of flight training, were generally consistent. Transfer ratios, averaged across the three criterion measures, resulted in the best transfer of training under visual plus motion conditions (TR=.31) and about equal transfer for motion only (TR=.22), visual only (TR=.23), and no visual/no motion groups (TR=.24). While all device features reduced the effort for pilot transition to the SH-3 helicopter, the particular task was more important in determining transfer than the device feature used in training the task.
