Aircraft Pilots and Psychophysical health and Safety

Carlo A. Pruneti

In the last ten years, there have been several accidents, some of them very serious due to airplane pilots showing psychological or psychopathological problems or obvious signs of distress. In this article, starting from the 24 March 2015 catastrophe, flight GWI18G operated by German wings with an airbus A320, carrying 150 people on board crashed into the foothills of the French Alps, offers various possibilities for evaluation and prevention. The proposals of the British Psychology Society for 2020 are also mentioned and the current possibilities of evaluation and verification are described, both psychological, medical and psychophysiological for an adequate prevention and cure.
