This study examined the pilot safety behaviours' effects on the perception of organisational safety culture among Royal Thai Army pilots. Data were collected from a sample of 202 Royal Thai Army pilots. A questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect data. Data collected were then analysed using descriptive statistics and stepwise regression analysis. This study indicated that the four dimensions of safety behaviour, namely: intra-family relationship, job characteristics, health, and self-discipline are moderately correlated with the organisation's perceived safety culture (r = 0.59). The regression analysis shows that the safety behaviours in terms of self-discipline in aviation and job characteristics affected the organisation's perceived safety culture with a statistical significance level of 0.05.
