The high professional characteristics of pilots (quality of their flight performance and low susceptibility to spatial illusions) are in close correlation with a pronounced predominance of the left hemisphere. The most informative criterion of the left hemisphere predominance that correlates with the flight performance is the index of the right ear predominance (i.e., left hemisphere predominance with respect to the speech perception). Less demonstrative parameters are the predominance of the right hand and the leading right eye.
