The paper is of a review nature and concerns the presentation of the scientific and implementational activities of Polish aviation psychologists from the perspective of the last half-century of the existence of the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine in Warsaw. The scientific activity includes, among others, empirical research on the assessment of mental and motor skills during tests in flight simulators: thermo- and diving chambers and centrifuges, while application research concerns mainly psychometric adaptation of psychological selection of candidates for military aviation and space flight and selection of military and civilian pilots.
