“…The concept of competence in aviation is not new. Core competencies including safety-relevant behavior markers (e.g., Group Interaction in High-Risk Environment [GIHRE], 2001) are available to describe the proficient performance of pilots (e.g., Flin et al 2003Flin et al , 2008Mansikka et al, 2017), flight instructors (Thomas & Richards, 2015), cabin crew (Simpson et al, 2004), air traffic controllers (e.g., Eißfeldt, 2000;Eißfeldt et al, 2009;Schwarz & Kallus, 2015;Schwarz et al, 2016), aircraft maintenance technicians (e.g., Gunes et al, 2020), air medical transport staff (nurses, physicians, paramedics; e.g., Slimmer et al, 2022), and aeromedical examiners/aerospace medicine physicians (e.g., Aerospace Medical Association [ASMA], 2023; Commission Regulation (EU), 2012(EU), , 2018Yh, 2016). In terms of competency assessment, the model of KSA prevails (McClelland, 1973).…”

Aviation psychology and human factors have made a significant contribution to aviation safety since the beginning of flying. Following the Germanwings tragedy in 2015, the professions have received extra attention from both governmental and aviation industry organizations. This paper reports on the development of a competency framework defining skills, knowledge, and attitudes for the endorsement of aviation psychologists (AVPSY) and aviation human factors specialists (AVHFS) based on input from 47 stakeholders and subject matter experts. The framework covers aviation domain knowledge, knowledge about humans, methodological approaches and tools, application practice areas, and common supporting skills and attitudes. Commonalities and differences between AVPSY and AVHFS are highlighted, and competency levels are discussed. Practical benefits of using the competency-based framework are emphasized for practitioners, employers, and universities or training organizations.
