Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilots and Operators

Abstract

This report presents the results from a review of a literature base of more than 200 publications in which eight were found to contain lists of Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics (KSAOs) for remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) crew positions, either for the purpose of system design specification or for personnel selection. The report compares KSAO lists across these studies and presents a cross reference table for them. The report also surveys past efforts to establish KSAOs in anticipation of related developments and discusses the major likely sources and nature of future changes in KSAO demand for RPA operators.
