U.S. Army Aviator Job Analysis

Abstract

This report describes the job analysis performed by The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Rotary Wing Aviation Research Unit (ARI RWARU). It was part of a larger research project to develop and validate a selection system for U.S. Army rotary wing aviators, called Selection Instrument for Flight Training (SIFT). The activities performed by Army aviators and the personal attributes required to perform those activities were examined. This job analysis helped identify predictor measures subsequently used to validate the prototype SIFT test battery.
