Up to 10,000 applicants are tested each year to check their suitability for aerospace professions such as pilots, air traffic controllers (ATCOs) and astronauts. To this end, applicants’ cognitive abilities, job-relevant knowledge and attitudes, and personality aspects are assessed at the test center as part of an extensive selection process.
The test center comprises a total of 110 computer workstations where psychological tests can be carried out. Applicants who successfully pass the entire selection process are recommended to either start their training or pursue their career in a specific aerospace profession.
With the Aerospace Psychology Test Center, DLR makes a decisive contribution to increasing flight and air traffic safety.
The entire DLR selection process is ISO-9001:2015 certified.
