This thesis concentrates on the process of selecting men for military pilot training. Past, present, and possible future selection techniques &re explored and analyzed. The objective is to determine how the present selection method can be improved so that the number of elimination from pilot training, and consequently, the cost of military pilot training can be reduced. Four conclusions are evolved: (1) The written aptitude test should be retained. (2) Flight Instruction Program screening should be expanded to include applicants from the USAF Officer Training School and U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate sources. (3) A modern apparatus test should be developed and included in selection testing to evaluate pilot potential. (3) A valid motivation test should be developed and implemented for inclusion in the battery of selection tests.
