The focus of this dissertation is on the psychological variables affecting how pilots perform when in training. Training as a time of high technical difficulty can be an emotionally/mentally challenging experience for many trainees. While aviation training programs typically emphasize the development of operational proficiency and procedural accuracy, the significant mental and emotional load that trainees may bring into the cockpit is frequently overlooked. This study sought to explore this largely unaddressed area.
Qualitative research methods, using ten amateur pilots participating in semi-structured interviews was the method of data collection to identify common sets of psychological stresses experienced during the training process (fatigue, emotional pressure, cognitive overload, time constraints and ongoing personal life stressors). These were not hypothetical examples, but actual experiences that impacted how trainees responded to instruction, stress and mistakes.
It was evident from the analysis that pilot training does not occur within a void. The trainee's internal world, the rate of the training and the interpersonal skills of the instructor all influence the training environment. For many participants, their feelings (e.g., tired, judged, rushed, etc.) had an impact on how well they performed. Although the results were expected, the consistent nature of the results across each interview indicates that these psychological issues should receive greater emphasis when designing training systems.
Two possible results exist. Recognizing and addressing these psychological issues can improve the effectiveness of learning, increase safety, and provide a potential for increased retention. Conversely, failure to recognize these psychological issues may result in costs (both in terms of individuals and the economy) that vary from small to large. By incorporating awareness of psychology into flight instruction and training system design, aviation organizations may develop more effective pilots and create longer lasting, flexible training environments.
