Being an aviation psychologist in a small airforce has its advantages, since one has to cover a wide spectrum of tasks, compared to the aviation psychologist in a large airforce who has to specialize in one or two fields. The main tasks of an aviation psychologist are discussed and include the following: (1) teaching flying personnel aviation psychology; (2) acting as a consultant to the aviators on personal matters; (3) performing surveys on the flying personnel's social and working conditions; (4) assisting the flight surgeons on medical boards; (5) acting as a member on aviation accident boards where human factors are involved; and (6) acting as a consultant in an operational setting. Two case histories are discussed that involve fighter pilots who ejected from their aircraft.
