“Interview with an Aviation Psychologist Expert, Airline Pilot, Chief Pilot: Pilot Abdollah Mohammadpour”

A wide-ranging conversation: what makes a pilot professional, what really happens behind a delayed flight, handling stress across multi-sector days, managing jet lag, and why he built a psychology practice for the people flying the aircraft.

“I've seen that when it comes to mental health, pilots frequently feel alone. Fear of losing their medical license prevents many from getting assistance… What shaped my concentration was that gap.”
From the Asian World News interview
ON THE PROFESSION

“A professional pilot has an attitude of discipline, dedication, and responsibility in addition to technical expertise… The psychological aspect, which involves stress management and resilience building, is something that no one gives you. That one you have to build yourself.”

ON THE INDUSTRY

“It is now acceptable to discuss mental health. The assumption that acknowledging stress ends your career is gradually fading… It is still incomplete, but it was almost non-existent a decade ago.”

ON NEW PILOTS

“Consider communication and English as real skills rather than a checkbox… Outside the cockpit, create one identity. This career requires a medical certificate and something else that belongs to you.”
