Les scores de N = 1,036 participants ont été utilisés pour étudier la validité de construit. Un sous‐échantillon de participants performants a été suivi et les évaluations des pairs ont été retenus comme mesures du critère. Les résultats démontrent une première évidence de validité de construit et de critère pour cet outil d’évaluation des compétences interpersonnelles et liées à la performance. Par ailleurs, les résultats ont aussi montré que le type d’évaluateur (psychologue vs pilote) modère la validité prédictive des scores du centre d’évaluation. Cet effet “type d’évaluateur” dépend de la sorte de variables prédictives. Les résultats sont discutés et des implications pratiques sont suggérées.This study examined the validity of an assessment center in pilot selection as a new field of application. Assessment center ratings of N= 1,036 applicants were used to examine the construct validit...

A survey is presented of the ways in which human factors trainers can transfer their understanding of all relevant factors into realistic training. (AIAA)

In spite of extensive investigation of each aircraft accident, there are no reliable data as to the number of suicides by aircraft. We report on a 50-year-old man who committed suicide by willfully crashing his Beech "Sierra" aircraft minutes after take off from an airport close to the town of Rendsburg, Germany. Before killing himself, the intoxicated pilot had sent an SMS announcing his suicide plans to a friend. The findings of the medico-legal investigation and the results of a review of aircraft accident reports by the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Investigation (BFU) regarding suicidal plane crashes are presented.
