Abstract
Based on the professional characteristics of airline transport pilots and requirements of implementing pilots’ Professionalism Lifecycle Management (PLM) system put forward by Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), this study proposes the measurement framework and method on airline transport pilot’s psychological competency by consulting the relevant results of psychological competency and psychological assessment of pilots. Firstly, this study points out that the psychological competency of airline transport pilots mainly includes two measurement dimensions: professional adaptability and mental health, covering five measurement modules: general cognitive ability, operational and professional ability, social-interpersonal ability, personality traits and attitude, and mental health. Secondly, this study provides the complete process of psychological competency evaluation for pilots, and the measurement data of the pilot can be obtained through supporting hardware and software devices for evaluation and analysis. Finally, this study designs an index fusion algorithm of pilot’s psychological competency, integrates the data obtained by the objective measurement algorithm and the subjective measurement algorithm, and calculates the score value of the pilot's psychological competency after standardized calculation, combined with the psychological competency measurement framework. The research conclusion shows that the measurement framework and method on airline transport pilot’s psychological competency proposed in this study have certain applicability, and can be widely applied in the next step, providing direct technical support and input for the development of reliable civil aviation pilot selection, evaluation and training tools.
