- 57 - of this study is the development of objective and reliable evaluation procedures. It is proposed that the information obtained in this present survey be used as a basis for devising an objective flight check which would accurately and reliably evaluate the degree to which pilots achieve proficiency in the most critical components of their job. Such a program would involve further study of present methods of checking, the devising of new ways of rating critical skills and a period during which the new procedures could be tried out experimentally on a sample of pilots. Any new evaluation procedures developed should be objective rather than be based upon the individual judgement of a check-pilot, they should be practical and usable, and they should be acceptable to the pilots themselves. Such procedures, provided they meet these requirements, would then clear the way for scientific validation of selection and training procedures, thus completing the three-fold program of improving selection, training and evaluation of the airline pilot.
