The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the competency of pilot’s instructors of at Shahid Sattari Air University. For this purpose, after reviewing the background, the theoretical framework of the research was formulated and then modified by interviewing key experts. The researcher then designed a questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed by statistical techniques and methodology. Then, the questionnaire was distributed among pilot instructors of Shahid Sattari Air University and 68 questionnaires were returned. 61 of them had the necessary requirements for entering the software and formed the basis of research analyses. First-order factor analysis showed that all observed variables had a good load factor on their variable and, according to PLS indices, these observed variables can measure their corresponding latent variables. Also, the results of second-order factor analysis showed that all of the first latent variables had an appropriate factor load and had a significant effect on their second latent variables. In other words, all the components have enough load factors to predict their own variables and can predict the competency of pilot’s instructors at Shahid Sattari Air University and are considered as its underlying factors.
