Knowledge Tests for Ab-Initio Pilot Selection in Civil Aviation
نویسنده
چکیده
A validity study was conducted for two purposes: to evaluate the importance of knowledge tests for pilot selection and to validate the knowledge tests of the German Aerospace Center. The two criteria were a theoretical test given in the Flight Training School and the overall graduation rate. Regression models were calculated to measure the incremental validity of knowledge tests beyond ability tests. A further question addressed the comparison of the predictive validity of knowledge tests and school grades. Knowledge tests contributed 12% incremental validity and thus yielded similar results to school grades (17%). Both regression and dropout analyses revealed knowledge tests to be a better predictor of Flight Training School success than ability tests.

Prevalence of and Trends for Dyslipidemia among Pilots from one Airline in China
Introduction: Most of previous studies on dyslipidemia among pilots were cross-sectional surveys which cannot explore the temporal trend of dyslipidemia, and these studies were normally conducted at least five years ago. In addition, studies focusing on pilots in Southwest China are scarce. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of and trends in dyslipidemia among pilots f...
متن کاملU.S. Air Force pilot selection tests: what is measured and what is predictive?
Selection of military pilots has long included the use of multiple aptitude test batteries. Although the names and appearances of the tests used in pilot selection vary, most are to a large extent measures of general cognitive ability, or g. This is consistent with the central role played by cognitive ability measures in the prediction of numerous job training (r = 0.43) and performance (r = 0....

In this paper,the molecular geometry for three tautomers of uracil and four tautomers of cytosine has been analyzed. vibrational IR spectra of the tautomers were investigated at HF and B3LYP level using the AB initio 6-31G* and LANL2DZ basis sets from the program package Gaussian 98 (A.7 Public Domain version). The physico-chemical and biochemical properties of uracil and cytosine are one of...
متن کاملFirst-generation H1 antihistamines found in pilot fatalities of civil aviation accidents, 1990-2005.
INTRODUCTION First-generation H1-receptor antagonists are popularly used for alleviating allergy and cold symptoms, but these antihistaminics cause drowsiness and sedation. Such side effects could impair performance and, thus, could be the cause or a factor in accidents. Therefore, the prevalence of these antagonists was evaluated in aviation accident pilot fatalities. METHODS The Civil Aeros...
متن کاملAn Application of High Fidelity FTDs for Ab Initio Pilot Training: The Way Ahead
Decreases in simulation costs and increases in aircraft training costs led to the need for further investigation into the application of simulation-based training. Researchers conducted an eighteen-month study using ab initio student pilots as participants. This study applied a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, Part 142, flight-training curriculum that included 60% flight training...
