AutoGradebook: An Autonomous Instructor Pilot

The Air Force`s Pilot Training Next (PTN) program seeks a more efficient pilot training environment emphasizing the use of virtual reality flight simulators alongside periodic real aircraft experience. PTN wants to accelerate the training pace and progress in undergraduate pilot training compared to traditional undergraduate pilot training. This research focuses on methods to auto-generate the planning and scheduling of flights using hybrid filtering and deep learning techniques. The recommender generates sets of graded events within 8 seconds with and average of 92% similarity to what actual Instructor Pilots would select.
