    Summary

    Instructor pilot behavior significantly impacts student pilot stress. Negative instructor behaviors, like criticism, led to higher stress responses in students during flight simulator training.

    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Psychology
    • Human Factors in Aviation
    • Pilot Training Research

    Background:

    • Understanding the psychological dynamics in pilot training is crucial for effective skill development.
    • Instructor behavior is a key variable that may influence student performance and well-being.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the correlation between specific instructor pilot behaviors and the stress levels experienced by student pilots.
    • To identify whether positive or negative instructor interactions differentially affect student stress during flight simulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten instructor behaviors were analyzed from audio recordings during T-50 Instrument Flight Simulator sorties.
    • Instructor pilots were categorized into 'positive' (praise/acceptance) and 'negative' (criticism/scolding) groups based on their primary behaviors.

  • Student pilot stress was quantified by measuring catecholamine excretion in timed urine samples.

    • Main Results:

    • Instrument flight simulator missions induced a significant physiological stress response in all student pilots.
    • Students trained by instructors in the 'negative' behavior group exhibited markedly higher stress responses compared to those in the 'positive' group.

    Conclusions:

    • Instructor pilot communication style is a critical factor influencing student pilot stress.
    • Negative feedback and criticism from instructors exacerbate stress during flight training, potentially impacting learning and retention.
