It is said that the most important sources of information regarding the potential adaptability of a pilot candidate is the flight surgeon's own response and impression regarding the individual. While this is a valid and important source of information, the flight surgeon must be careful not to rely on stereotyped or idiosyncratic ideas of what constitutes adaptability. As of yet, there is no convenient or accurate way of assessing adaptability for military aeronautics either psychometrically or by life history criteria. The information presented here serves as a guideline for the aeromedical examiner. If there is any doubt about the psychological suitability of an individual for military aeronautics, a consultation with a psychiatrist or psychologist familiar with aviation is recommended.
