The article analyzes the cognitive component's significant role in military pilots' professional activity, specifically in accurate and rapid tactical decision-making in unpredictable combat conditions. By identifying and understanding these factors, the study aims to enhance training programs, optimize pilot performance, and improve overall operational effectiveness. This research utilizes a scientific and methodological approach to evaluate the cognitive component of professional combat training for future tactical aviation pilots. A total of 190 subjects were assessed using the "R. Amthauer Intelligence Structure Test" to evaluate key components of intelligence relevant to this study. The results offer insight into potential success and efficiency in educational and professional activities. By converting scores to the Wechsler IQ test scale, this study provides a novel approach to assessing the cognitive demands of tactical aviation pilots and holds implications for optimizing training programs. Findings contribute to improving the educational process and enhancing the professional readiness of future military pilots.
