Abstract: In order to study relationship between pilots' attention allocation ability and change trend of their safety performance, with 206 pilots' psychological selection written test records and QAR data since their employment as samples, a model for safety performance prediction and evaluation was established by using multi-layer linear model. The results show that attention allocation ability is one of the important factors for pilots' different safety performance, and those with stronger allocation ability results in higher safety performance level in 0-1 year of employment. This ability can lead to significant individual differences in change trend of safety performance level in 1-4 years of employment, and it exerts significant positive influence on decline rate of pilots' safety performance. In other words, the stronger attention allocation ability pilots possess, the more they can inhibit the decline of safety performance.

Key words: pilot, attention distribution ability, safety performance, multi-layer linear model, quick access recorder(QAR)
