Abstract :While there seem too many controversial subjects and no apparent developments in aviation training in Turkey, pilot training ignores some new apprehensions. A survey of 87 pilot candidates at our aviation institution finds adverse mental and physical conditions being self-medicated and unexamined. Pilot training organizations should be legally required to employ authorized medical examiners to prevent accidents made by candidates flying under the influence.
