  1. Aviation Test Battery (Vienna Test System) Ability Testing for Aviation Industry Trainees

  2. Aviation Test Battery (ATBs) • Introduction to the ATBs • computer based system comprising 4 psychological tests, researched & developed specifically to assess pilot capabilities • assesses co-ordination, perception, mental abilities , & personal style attributes that are associated with efficient & safe aircraft operation • identifies poor, adequate and advanced capabilities in aviation trainees • The following slides provide more information on the tests

  3. ATBs: Trainee Pilot Subset Ability to respond to visual and auditory signals, using co-ordinated and simultaneous multi-limb responses Multi-limb Co-ordination Logical Reasoning Ability to apply logic to verbal, mathematical or other abstract data Aptitude for pilot training including motivation, persistence, communication, stress resilience & emotional stability Personality Assessment Comprehension of spatial relationships & orientation between the plane, the ground & the aerospace environment Pilot Spatial Abilities The following slides explain in more detail each test & the relevance for pilot training

  4. Logical Reasoning (Adaptive Matrices Test) Example pilot activities • learning through observation & critical thinking • reasoning using logical rule sets • decision making capacity

  5. Multi-limb co-ordination (Determination Test Aircrew Selection) Example pilot activities • applying breaks or increasing acceleration on a signal • responding to information from multiple instruments • regaining composure & work rhythm after a stressful event

  6. Advanced Pilot Spatial Abilities (Pilot Spatial Test) Example pilot activities • maintaining a flight path in relation to the horizon • visualizing changes in orientation caused by steering • mental perception of plane positioning in 3D space

  7. Personality Factors (Eysenck Personality Profiler) Example pilot activities • personal drive & motivation to undertake training • communication & teamwork in the cockpit • ability to cope with both stressful & tedious activities • personal flexibility & mental hardiness
