Computerised Pilot Selection System

The Computerised Pilot Selection System is used for screening candidates into the flight branch of the Indian Air Force. It replaced the earlier pilot selection test named Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT) that was used for decades in the Indian Air Force. It was originally conceived by then Scientific Advisor to the Prime Minister Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam with a view to adopt a better tool for conducting pilot aptitude test in consonance with the modern aircraft of the IAF which was aimed at addressing the issue of an alarming rate of mishaps, owing to pilot error. It has been developed jointly by Aeronautical Development Establishment, Bangalore and Defence Institute of Psychological Research, Delhi. It is aimed at assessing the flying aptitude of a candidate in terms of cognitive and psychomotor skills by engaging candidates to concurrent multiple tasks.^{[1] [2]}
