CAS dedicates new pilot selection system for IAF to nation

New Delhi, Nov 28 (IBNS): Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, Chief of the Air Staff on Friday inaugurated the new Computerised Pilot Selection System (CPSS) at No. 2 Air Force Selection Board (AFSB), Mysore.
The new CPSS replaces the earlier Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT) that has been in use for decades.
 
The CPSS was conceived by the then Scientific Advisor to PM,  APJ Abdul Kalam with a vision to adopt better tools for Pilot Aptitude Test in consonance with modern aircraft being acquired by the IAF. 
 
The project was also aimed at addressing the issue of the alarming rate of flying accidents in the IAF attributed to pilot error.
 
The CPSS has been jointly developed by the Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) and the Air Defence Establishment (ADE), both premier organisations of the DRDO, through a decade long research. 
 
The new selection system places special emphasis on psychomotor skills and cognitive abilities of the candidates while screening them for selection into the flying branch of the IAF. The computerized pilot selection system ensures objectivity in results and uniformity in the degree of difficulty faced by the candidates.
