The Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB) has been used to screen prospective aviation candidates for the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard since World War II. The Navy has continuously looked for ways to update and improve its aviation screening procedures and the latest supplement of the Performance- Based Measurement Battery (PBMB) currently under development is just one example. The Naval Operational Medicine Institute (NOMI) is currently investigating how well this test will assist with the difficult process of aviation candidate selection. This study was conducted to assess whether individuals with aviation experience would perform better on the PBMB than those with no aviation experience. Forty individual participated in this research, 20 had formal aviation training. The results showed that experienced aviators performed significantly better on eye-hand coordination tracking tasks than the group with no aviation experience.
