| Abstract: | Introduction. The German Wings incident in March 2015 has focused attention on
the mental wellbeing of pilots. Legislation by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(2018) requires a psychological assessment with the Maltese Civil Aviation Directorate fully
implementing this regulation. Research question. Are the norms on the NEO PI-R for the Maltese Ab Initio Pilot Population significantly different to those for Aviation personnel on the Revised NEO Personality Inventory Manual (Costa & McCrae, 2006)? Method. A sample of N=55 Maltese Pilots (Male=49; Female=6) were assessed. Scores were compared using the IBM SPSS Version 26 Software. Results indicated significant differences across most scores. Discussion. This creates a number of issues for the Maltese Aviation psychologists in practice. |
