Pilot aptitude tests are used to select capable candidates. In particular, military aviation requires effective pilot aptitude tests because military pilots have to operate complex cutting-edge combat fighters in a rigorous environment. The pilot aptitude tests have developed since WWI (World War I), and have been refined over the decades. In most military pilot aptitude test batteries, paper-and-pencil and apparatus tests (electro-mechanical apparatus) have been used to evaluate cognitive abilities of candidates. Recently, as computer technology has become both cheaper and more efficient, some kinds of computer-based tests have been introduced into most countries. However, the computer-based test has not been implemented in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force yet. We reviewed many cumulative literatures about the pilot selection system and described the present situation and problems involved in improving the pilot selection system. This review article addressed the objective of pilot selection, cognitive and non-cognitive abilities that are important for pilots, the history of pilot selection, and the method for the development of pilot selection system.

This review summarizes many cumulative literatures about the pilot aptitude tests and describes the present situation and problems involved in development of the pilot aptitude test. This part of the review (Part 2) addresses the present and future of the pilot aptitude test in the United States Air Force and the Japan Air Self-defense Force (JASDF). In addition, we focus on the study of multitasking ability, development of new pilot aptitude test in the JASDF and applied possibility of the methods in neurocognitive science. We also discuss the future issues about pilot aptitude test. Throughout the review, the organization which uses the pilot aptitude test should evaluate the reliability and predictive validity of the test periodically and flexibly. Then the organization should consider the improvement plan by using the achievement of the advanced research.
