To determine medical qualification to fly, aviators who sustain head trauma or acquire other conditions that effect mental skills must undergo neuropsychological evaluations. A challenge for psychologists tasked with performing these evaluations is that conventional neuropsychological tests are characteristically normed using samples reflecting the general population. It would be more appropriate to compare aviators with a sample of their peers. The present paper demonstrates the importance and usefulness of aviator-specific psychometric norms. To do this, normative tables were developed from a large sample of United States Air Force pilot training candidates using the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery, a standardized intelligence test. Psychologists may find these tables useful when evaluating aviators.
