Alarming Results of the Spatial Attention on Pilot’s Aptitude Testing
Among safety policies and protocols, which the civil aviation
authorities anticipate in order to achieve and maintain prior
involvement in monitoring and/or observing behavioral construction,
there is a fundamental action. The authority requires to know whether
a candidate has the base line capability of bearing and fulfilling the
requirements of the physical and mental pressures of the job on
student pilot candidate election programs. IATA’s pilot aptitude testing
need and guidance declares that the student pilot candidate election
programs should contain such parameters that a student pilot
candidate must succeed through (IATA,2019). We operated a test
protocol which was compatible with IATA’s demand of competence on
a student pilot candidate. With the predetermined success rates of
every test protocol battery, we provided results of the tests of spatial
attention, with regarding to the feedback from personality test, spatial
attention, spatial disorientation, perceptional focusing & memory,
spatial aptitude, decision making under stress, team work &
leadership. We analyzed the results of the tests and the spatial
attention sufficiency requirement has the least success rate in the
midst of basic abilities and sophisticated skills which a student pilot
candidate has to have. Among the 78 student pilot candidates, 38 pilot
candidates have failed from the pilot aptitude testing’s spatial
attention sufficiency parameter.
