Abstract
There were 45 male fighter pilots participating in two-step procedures of test pilot selection for human system integration (HSI). The pilots did psychological tests as well as special tests of aviation medicine including clinical medicine examinations and so on. For the pilots selected for test pilots 4 psychological abilities was scored by PC program or panel of experts, but 7 different abilities was for the test pilots selected for type test flight. The results were found that the psychological selection didn’t be influenced by test blocks, pilot’s age and experienced type of fighter, and the composite scores could act as qualification index of psychological selection. Test pilots also differed from the candidates at least on language performance, comprehensive analysis, and achievement motivation in problem solving. It was found that the criterion validity of the psychological selection was 0.92, and the chosen test pilots had good performances in practical test flight.
