Descripción editorial
1. Introduction Historically there have been several conceptions of a good pilot. The interpretation and perceptions of a good pilot have varied, and many factors have been perceived as important in order to become a skilled pilot. F. C. Dockeray and S. Isaacs reported after conducting participant observation that "[q]uiet methodological men are among the best flyers" (Dockeray, Isaacs 1921).

Over the years the selection process and the tests used may serve as indicators of the different interpretations and perceptions of a good pilot (Hunter, Burke 1994; Martinussen 1996).
