description Pilots' psychological readiness is one of the most important factors in maintaining flight safety. The aim of this study was to develop positive and negative individual factors affecting the psychological preparation of airline pilots. The research was conducted qualitatively. The study population was all pilots of an airline in Tehran in 1398. The sample was 10 pilots who were selected by purposive method. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. This process continued until theoretical saturation was obtained in response to interview questions. Thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. Data analysis led to the identification of two categories of positive and negative individual factors affecting the psychological readiness of pilots. In the category of negative factors affecting the psychological readiness of pilots; Physical and personality weakness, weakness in personal management, economic and occupational concerns, and unprofessional behavior were identified. In the category of positive factors affecting the mental readiness of pilots; Physical and personality empowerment, individual and organizational beliefs, positive attitude towards work and life, job planning, application of skills and personal management facilities were extracted. This study showed that two categories of positive and negative individual factors are among the most important issues in the psychological preparation of pilots that should be considered.
