초록

Selecting individuals with ideal pilot aptitude is crucial to minimizing aviation accidents caused by human error and preventing economic losses due to dropouts during flight training. Specifically, the Republic of Korea Air Force implemented a new computer-based pilot aptitude test tool in 2018, which integrates cognitive ability tests and psychomotor ability tests. Additional research is necessary to overcome the limitations identified during the development phase. In this study, we analyzed the predictive validity of the newly developed pilot aptitude test by examining how well it predicts actual flight training performance among 1,078 Air Force officers. The results indicated that the test effectively predicted the completion of each training phase. Based on these findings, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
