IQ is not part of the data the Navy has on its aviators. As they're all
college grads, it might be fair to assume that they have IQ's on par with
the average college graduate.

ago) just to be a selectee. "IQ" is a real misnomer, and the numbers
aren't really relevant to competency. Air Force tests simply cut off any
numbers determined to be above 30% over the mean, which is about 2% of
all tested in a particular exam. IQ numbers measure skills in
test-taking, or rapidity of thought processes, rather than any
superiority over an average competency, i.e., IQ=100.

Interesting question.
I also wonder what the CQ (crazy quotient) is? It's got to be fairly high
to try to land a plane on a carrier.

try ???? that would be some air farce guy.

Hey, if you'll ignore my lousy eyesight and let me fly in contact lenses,
I'll try to land on any airstrip you give me, even if it does roll, pitch,
yaw and crab in the most infuriating manner possible.

guess that a high very IQ has little correlation with performance. Some of
the smartest (Mensa type) folks I've flown with were among the worst ball
flyers.

That's a tough question. Surely the size of your brain is a major factor in
succeeding as a naval aviator, however, there are so many other issues
(academically, physically, physiologically, etc.) tied into the formula that
emphasis on IQ is over-rated. As far as I know, the Navy has never evaluated
my "IQ", only my ability to grasp concepts.

Current records indicate that the average for LCDRs assigned to fly the
COD rarely exceeded 18.

Let's see......be on the ship for six months, without beer, flying night
traps..........or be on the beach for six months with per diem and a beer
every night, flying only day traps..........who's got the higher IQ? I'd
have to vote for the COD guy.

Gad. One wonders what IQ would be sufficient for piloting a C-12..? :)
Seriously though, I doubt if any Naval Aviators have less than a 130 IQ, with
the exception of Frank Sauter, who displayed an IQ in the mid-40s...
(left the ship with the 30-minute fuel light steadily on, for a 20 mile flight
back to base with a helicopter packed with extra souls -- we flamed out over
Pad 10 at NASNI due to his "skill" as a pilot: only the luck of an idiot kept
him from killing us all.)

While intending no disrespect to the memory of TLS, lost at Cubi Point
these many years past, the rumor mill long ago churned out the
allegation that the IQ of rotary wng drivers could best be described as
the number illustrated by the track of the blade tips. Presumably, the
rumor implies an even more striking numeric equivalent for those who fly
the CH46.
Naval aviators are not dumb. Such claims are false canards put about by
porkchops, chancre mechanics, snipes, deck apes and the like.

Sauter went down?! When did that happen? I left HSL-33 in 86, but flew with
them in 87. After that, I know he was relieved, supposedly because of the
incident that I described. I never heard that he had crashed in Cubi...? Sure
it was the same guy?

agreed. Intelligence was perhaps the one trait that every NA has in common.

recvery of the rotor-over is he? Not looking to slam fellow aviators here
but htat name is familiar. This incident was from a -37 aircraft if memory
serves. H2P didn't make it, HAC spent the remainder of his days at AIRPAC
learning how not to wear wings....

No, another TLS, a long time ago, back when the world was young and
there was a war nearby, as I've been told attempting a rolling t/o on a
hot day with a full load, but then Terry was inevitably bold and not
destined for old.
