About the Book

Methods of pilot selection have come a long way since the Wright brothers tossed a coin to choose the first pilot, but no single publication has yet sought to bring the area together between two covers. This book describes the methods surrounding the selection of individuals to be aircraft pilots, techniques largely applicable to any personnel. It presents a comprehensive review of the research on pilot selection, describing the history of aircraft pilot selection and the scientific methodology underlying the development of effective and valid selection procedures. The authors synthesize the findings into recommended approaches for selecting pilots in various settings. The chapters follow the sequence of events in the development of a selection system and bring them together for practical application. They go on to identify problems which still exist and outline needed research to address those deficiencies.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Introduction; Planning for selection; Building the selection system; Designing the selection system; Evaluating the selection system; History of pilot selection research; Putting it all together; Future directions; Bibliography; Appendix.
