The majority of U.S. Navy pilots are white males. Of the 12,477 Navy pilots, only 225 (1.8 percent) are women. Navy women are prohibited from permanent assignment on ships or aircraft designated for potential combat missions. Data comparing female and male performance on aviation selection tests over the past five years is present. Female and male student naval aviator performance in primary flight training and on a cognitive/psychomotor test battery are compared. The data examined uncovered some differences in aviation selection test scores as well as differences in cognitive/psychomotor performance, but corresponding effect of these variables on success in primary flight training was discovered.
