Preliminary Research on Evaluation Index of Professional Adaptability for Airline Transport Pilot

Combining with the professional characteristics of airline transport pilots and requirements of implementing pilots' Professionalism Lifecycle Management (PLM) system put forward by Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), this study aims to examine the initial evaluation index of professional adaptability for airline transport pilot. Based on literatures review and analysis, the cognitive ability, operation and professional ability, social-interpersonal ability and personality traits were selected and included in the initial index system. Meanwhile, this study pointed out that the primary indices could be optimized through the implementation of expert method and data analysis in next step. The initial evaluation index system would also be a basis for developing final professional adaptability evaluation tools, which could be used for airline transport pilots' selection and evidence-based training in future.
