Pilot Selection System Development.

Abstract

This technical report describes test instruments, including two aircrew psychomotor tests, the Automated Pilot Aptitude Measurement System, and several written tests, as predictors for success in Undergraduate Pilot Training. The report recommends implementation of a pilot selection system which includes psychomotor tests, the Automated Pilot Aptitude Measurement System, and several written tests as an effective screen for entry into undergraduate pilot training. Validities are reported for individual instruments as well as for combinations of those instruments. The importance of obtaining cost effective self-contained equipment is indicated, and recommendations for future research are given. (Author)
