This study aims to examine the factors influencing successful flight training performance in helicopter pilot education. To this end, an exploratory factor analysis was used to extract individual cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics, and a hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to find out how these characteristics (factors) affect flight training performance. As a result, it was found that the higher the spatial perception ability, resilience, and mastery goal-oriented learning attitude, the higher the flight training performance had a positive effect. This reconfirms the importance of spatial awareness, which is particularly required for pilots, and reconfirms that the role of a flight instructor in a limited cockpit space and the right motivation and effort of an individual affect flight training performance. These results are expected to be useful indicators for effective flight training of helicopter pilots in the future.

Psychological properties of learners have influence on learning behaviors in various ways. The purpose of this study was to examine how the goal orientation of learners affected the learning time distribution method. Regulatory focus and theories of intelligence were measured and manipulated in order to differentiate participants' goal-oriented state. Two variables are known to be key variables influencing learner's goal orientation, inducing the approach-avoidance strategy and mastery-performance oriented attitude. In the experiment, the control focus was divided into two groups based on the inclination test score (regulatory Focus Questionnaire, RFQ), and TOI(theory of intelligence) was temporally induced through manipulation to confirm the interaction between the two variables. Participants were able to determine the order of learning freely by learning a set of Spanish-Korean word pairs and then selecting the items they would like to re-learn. Word pairs consisted of difficult or easy items, and learners could learn the same word many times if they wanted to. In the results, promotion-incremental group showed allocating difficult word-pairs in early time.
