In a population of 70164 airline pilots obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration, 475 males and females had pilot-error incidents in the years 1986 to 1992. A simple chi-squared test revealed that female pilots employed by major airlines had a significantly greater likelihood of pilot error incidents than their male colleagues. In order to control for age, experience (total flying hours), risk exposure (recent flying hours) and employer (major/non-major airline) simultaneously a model of male pilot-error incidents was built using logistic regressions. The regression analysis indicated that youth, inexperience and non-major airline employer were independent contributors to the increased risk of pilot-error incidents. The results also provide further support to the literature that pilot performance does not differ significantly between male and female airline pilots.
