Construction of Behavioral Patterns Based on the System Monitoring Task in the Pilot Competency Testing Platform

Abstract

In the context of pilot training, traditional evaluation systems often focus solely on skill proficiency, limiting their adaptability to different aircraft types and neglecting other critical competencies such as psychological resilience, communication, and decision-making. A multi-dimensional competency testing platform was developed, with the system monitoring module as a key component. This study analyzes pilots’ behavioral patterns during tasks, offering insights into their operational tendencies and key competencies.

A total of 343 subjects participated in this study, with data from 315 valid participants analyzed. Behavioral patterns were classified into three types based on error types: Type I (error-checking related errors), Type II (operational errors), and Type III (low-error or ambiguous patterns). Results showed that Type III participants achieved the highest accuracy, while Type I participants outperformed Type II participants. Statistical tests confirmed that Type I participants demonstrated stronger error detection and management capabilities. Insights from the findings highlight the importance of error-checking skills in multi-task environments and suggest adjustments to training programs to enhance these competencies.
