Abstract
Tightening fiscal monetary policies within the United States Navy has prompted Commanders at all levels of the Naval Establishment to intensify their efforts toward achieving the highest possible efficiency in utilization of the assets under their control. Commander, FIGHTER WING ONE, located at the Oceana Naval Air Station, Virginia Beach, Virginia, established a Management Information Center (MIC) to assist fighter squadron managers in this endeavor by gathering and processing data from aviation activities.
To increase the applicability and usefulness of information available from the MIC, a
correlation analysis was performed on MIC data revealing strongly associative relationships
between OPERATIONAL READINESS and the following three variable ratios:

Tightening fiscal monetary policies within the United States Navy has prompted Commanders at all
levels of the Naval Establishment to intensify their efforts toward achiev- ing the highest
possible efficiency in utilization of the assets under their control. Commander, FIGHTER WING ONE,
located at the Oceana Naval Air Station, Virginia Beach, Virginia, established a Management
Information Center (MIC) to assist fighter squadron managers in this endeavor by gathering and
processing data from aviation activities.
To increase the applicability and usefullness of informa- tion available from the MIC, a
correlation analysis was per- formed on MIC data revealing strongly associative relationships
between OPERATIONAL READINESS and the following three variable ratios:
FSC·HOURS / HOURS IN RRS
FLIGHT HOURS / TOTAL A799's and FLIGHT HOURS / HOURS IN RRS
