The Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) is a computerized psychomotor test battery used as a tool for the selection of United States Air Force pilot candidates. It was created as a replacement for the Basic Attributes Test (BAT) which was in use from 1993 to 2006. TBAS scores are combined with the candidate's Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) scores, and flying hours to produce a Pilot Candidate Selection Method (PCSM) score.〔(Official TBAS Page ) Retrieved March 6, 2007.〕 The PCSM score provides a measure of a candidate's aptitude for pilot training and is a significant part of the selection process. As of August 14, 2006 the TBAS is operational at all testing sites and the BAT has been retired.〔(AETC deploys new pilot screening for fiscal '07 ) by 2nd Lt. Kirk Reimer.

The Studies and Analysis Squadron partnered with the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory and the US Air Force Academy to develop the TBAS as a possible BAT replacement.〔(Psychomotor Testing in Naval Aviation Selection and Demo ) by LT Brent Olde. Retrieved March 6, 2007.〕 The Air Force Research Laboratory, released a report on the "Development and Validation of the Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) " in November 2005. According to the report, the TBAS was fielded to 994 Air Force pilot trainees. The testing showed strong correlations between TBAS scores and potential success at pilot training. TBAS equipment was shipped to testing locations by July 2006 and was operational at all sites on August 14, 2006.〔(TBAS Implementation Information WantsChecks Forum TBAS Implementation Information ) Retrieved March 6, 2007.〕 The test equipment consists of a computer, keyboard, mouse, joystick, rudder pedals, and headphones. During the validation of the TBAS the test apparatus was: Whether the same equipment has been deployed at all testing sites remains unclear. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Test of Basic Aviation Skills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
