  • Pilots were automatically referred to independent counseling after stressful incidents.
  • Referrals were triggered by events involving sudden, unanticipated, or extreme stress.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant proportion of pilots experienced negative psychological effects post-incident.
    • Some pilots required additional counseling or anxiolytic drug treatment.
    • Commercial pilots may be more susceptible to debilitating stress reactions than previously thought.

    Conclusions:

    • Early psychological intervention shows promise for commercial pilots.
    • The findings underscore the prevalence of stress reactions in this population.
    • Proactive stress management strategies are essential for commercial pilot mental health and safety.
