AIRLINE / OPERATOR
Due to EASA decision and Commission Regulation (EU) from February 2021 it is not only recommended but mandatory for all airline crew to complete the psychological assessment before commencing line flying.
That means the European airlines and operators will have to assess if candidates are suitable for becoming a pilot in their company.
To be compliant with EASA.CAT.GEN.MPA.175(b) the assessment will have to be validated and either directly performed by, or overseen by, a psychologist. This psychologist should fit the following criteria:
- possess knowledge in aviation relevant to the flight crew’s operating environment
-> be an Aviation Psychologist (certified by recognised Aviation organisations) - have an expertise in psychological assessment
- have an expertise in the psychological selection of aviation personnel (proven by certificates/courses)
Each operator should also have its own profile of desired pilots.
You know best what are the traits, skills, competencies and values you look for in your employees.
As an active Aviation Psychologist I can help your company to create the profile.
With the profile I can design and conduct psychological part of the pilot selection process using professional tools and tests tailored for your company.
