The search was designed to identify the mental health factors in commercial aviation pilots, including risk factors, prevalence, types of mental health disorders, and aircraft-assisted suicide. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was used to provide the structure of this review. A comprehensive search was performed using a combination of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases. Citation lists of relevant studies were searched to check for any additional papers. The search is up-to-date through February 2017.

The following Medical Subject Headings or text word terms was used:

The following search string was used: [(airline pilot$) OR (commercial pilot$) OR (aircraft pilot$) OR (aviation) OR (aerospace)] AND [(mental health) OR (depres*) OR (mood disorder) OR (mental disorder$) OR (depressive disorder) OR (panic) OR (suicide)].
