Türkiye – Turkish Technology, in partnership with Turkish Airlines and Istanbul University, has highlighted “PACE” – a next-generation pilot aptitude and competency evaluation platform designed to revolutionize cadet selection and assessment in aviation.

• PACE (Pilot Assessment Competency Evaluation) leverages aviation-specific cognitive science, AI, and psychometric testing to identify top cadet potential early in the selection process.

• The platform assesses a wide range of competencies, including sustained attention, spatial awareness, memory, multitasking, psychomotor skills, and math/physics proficiency.

• Developed by Turkish Technology with academic input from Istanbul University, the system has already assessed over 11,000 candidates for Turkish Airlines’ cockpit crew.

• Turkish Airlines emphasized that PACE introduces standardization and objectivity in pilot assessment, minimizing recruitment risk and reinforcing its focus on flight safety.
