Motivation-Discusses the human judgment in decision making, through the analysis of the flight instructor's accuracy at the Brazilian Air Force Academy, when attributing grades to the cadets in flight training. Research approach-It is possible to increase elements to the studies of the Naturalistic Decision Making confronting the attributed grades in flight with those obtained by the cadets in an aptitude test for the military pilotage. Research limitations/Implications-This is ongoing work. A deeper exam of the psychological questions would possibly bring new insights to this study. Originality/Value-Taking grades obtained by the cadets in the aptitude test, a regression model was generated and it served as base for the verification of the accuracy of the instructors' judgment. This analysis means a positive referential in the validation of the NDM, as well as their unfolding in the aviation, the Aeronautical Decision Making-ADM. Take away message-The results of this work are elucidating in subjects of interface man-computers.
RESUMO Desde a Primeira Guerra Mundial, há um grande investimento na seleção de pilotos militares por parte das Forças Aéreas com o intuito de diminuir os altos custos envolvidos na formação do piloto militar por meio da diminuição do atrito (fracasso) na instrução aérea. Porém, foi na Segunda Guerra Mundial que os testes psicológicos, que mensuravam aptidões psicomotoras e cognitivas, passaram a ser mais efetivos em predizer a aptidão para a pilotagem, contribuindo para a diminuição do atrito encontrado nas instruções aéreas. Um dos poucos testes psicológicos construídos especialmente para a seleção de pilotos é o The Pilot Aptitude Tester (PILAPT), uma bateria de seis testes que avaliam aptidões psicomotoras e cognitivas voltadas para a atividade aérea, adquirido pela Força Aérea Brasileira para ser inserido em sua seleção de pilotos militares. Palavras-chave: psicologia aeronáutica; testes de aptidões específicas; seleção de recursos humanos; avaliação psicológica.
