Detailed Description+

The SAAIR – Safety Assessment Aviation test set assesses aspects of personality and cognitive ability that are relevant to aviation safety. It measures criteria such as stress tolerance, memory, visual-spatial ability and psychomotor coordination, but also personality traits such as conscientiousness and emotional stability. The majority of the dimensions has been validated with regard to their ability to predict success in a flight simulator test. The tests used have been shown to meet the highest psychometric standards.

SAAIR is optimized with regard to the needs of civilian and military aviation and covers three areas: pilot selection, preselection for a flight simulator test and regular assessments of flight aptitude. SAAIR can be used to select pilots of all types, such as aircraft pilots, sports aircraft pilots, helicopter pilots and airship pilots.

It can reduce not only the institutional burden of the selection process but also the burden on respondents in terms of both time and physical and mental stress. A generally high level of ability in all relevant areas can be regarded as a basic condition for coping successfully with the cognitive demands placed on pilots.
