Abstract

The project uses a simulator-based screening approach aimed at screening forpilot potential in the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). Against thebackdrop of a shrinking talent pool and lean resources, the simulator-based pilotscreening (SBPS) aims to leverage simulators, data science and other emergingtechnology to enhance effectiveness and optimize efficiency for pilot screening inthe RSAF. SBPS uses simulator-based screeners to assess candidates over tendays, through four standardized simulated training/mission sorties. Primaryassessments include standardized task performance and behavior-basedobservations by RSAF Qualified Flying Instructors (QFIs) and AviationPsychologists (AvPsychs), as well as objective mission and task performanceparameters measured by the simulator. Psychophysiological measures (PPMs),eye trackers, electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiograms (ECG), videobasedemotion coding, as well as simulator data were explored as means toaugment task and behavior-based assessments.
