deadly serious subject,

This review is from: Aviation Psychology: A Science and a Profession (Hardcover)
Until I met this book, I never knew there was such a field as aviation psychology. Yet the contributors to the book are deadly earnest. Its main motivation is to assess the reliability of pilots. In terms of how safely and effectively they can fly planes. Hard to argue with that, for anyone who has ever been a passenger in a plane.
Thus chapters discuss how to test civilian pilots and military pilots. There is a difference. While a passage also describes the testing of air traffic controllers. For all 3 types, there are guidelines for psychologists who might have to interview prospective candidates. Training is also considered. How to assess the numerous human factors and to integrate these into a teaching course. Along with methods to evaluate the performances of these factors. A notable sidebar is to detect drug addiction in aviation personnel. As well as any neuroses they might have.
