This book was released on 1982 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Systems Analysis Research Unit at the Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) has developed a generic model for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy training program evaluation. The model will serve as a basis for integrating the total data base into a common format across all training programs. The model consists of four components: (1) design, (2) implementation, (3) formative, and (4) summative evaluation. Design evaluation is an assessment of the comprehensive implementation plan; implementation evaluation is a determination that the plan is completely and accurately implemented according to prescription; formative evaluation is a continual monitoring of the program to keep the process reliable, stable, and on track; and summative evaluation monitors the product of the training program. The design evaluation relies on the task, knowledge, and skills analysis and the documents in the implementation plan. The implementation evaluation makes use of the data from frequent status studies. Formative and summative evaluations make use of statistics amd mathematical modeling, primarily linear regression models, to monitor the process and products of the programs and to estimate and determine the impact of changes made to the programs.

Download or read book Assessment of Staffing Needs of Systems Specialists in Aviation written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Airway Transportation System Specialists ATSS) maintain and certify the equipment in the National Airspace System (NAS).In fiscal year 2012, Technical Operations had a budget of $1.7B. Thus, Technical Operations includes approximately 19 percent of the total FAA employees and less than 12 percent of the $15.9 billion total FAA budget. Technical Operations comprises ATSS workers at five different types of Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities: (1) Air Route Traffic Control Centers, also known as En Route Centers, track aircraft once they travel beyond the terminal airspace and reach cruising altitude; they include Service Operations Centers that coordinate work and monitor equipment. (2) Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities control air traffic as aircraft ascend from and descend to airports, generally covering a radius of about 40 miles around the primary airport; a TRACON facility also includes a Service Operations Center. (3) Core Airports, also called Operational Evolution Partnership airports, are the nation's busiest airports. (4) The General National Airspace System (GNAS) includes the facilities located outside the larger airport locations, including rural airports and equipment not based at any airport. (5) Operations Control Centers are the facilities that coordinate maintenance work and monitor equipment for a Service Area in the United States. At each facility, the ATSS execute both tasks that are scheduled and predictable and tasks that are stochastic and unpredictable in. These tasks are common across the five ATSS disciplines: (1) Communications, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers and pilots to be in contact throughout the flight; (2) Surveillance and Radar, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to see the specific locations of all the aircraft in the airspace they are monitoring; (3) Automation, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to track each aircraft's current and future position, speed, and altitude; (4) Navigation, maintaining the systems that allow pilots to take off, maintain their course, approach, and land their aircraft; and (5) Environmental, maintaining the power, lighting, and heating/air conditioning systems at the ATC facilities. Because the NAS needs to be available and reliable all the time, each of the different equipment systems includes redundancy so an outage can be fixed without disrupting the NAS. Assessment of Staffing Needs of Systems Specialists in Aviation reviews the available information on: (A) the duties of employees in job series 2101 (Airways Transportation Systems Specialist) in the Technical Operations service unit; (B) the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union of the AFL-CIO; (C) the present-day staffing models employed by the FAA; (D) any materials already produced by the FAA including a recent gap analysis on staffing requirements; (E) current research on best staffing models for safety; and (F) non-US staffing standards for employees in similar roles.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) selection procedure requires that all applicants pass the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) air traffic control aptitude test. In addition to the test scores, applicants may also receive points for certain types of aviation-related prior experience or substitute college-level education in lieu of general experience requirements. The Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) has had a long-standing involvement in efforts to update and improve ATCS students are given an opportunity to voluntarily take a battery of research tests upon arrival at the FAA Academy for basic training. Included in this battery is a Biographical Questionnaire (BQ) designed to elicit responses about background experiences, including high school education and activities, college education, military experience, and pre-FAA ATC experience. Aftera new pass/fail training program was implemented at the Academy in 1976, biographical data on trainees were examined to determine the relationship between biographical variables and Academy success rates. A new set of 21 questions was added to the BQ in May 1980, and responses to the revised BQ were analyzed to determine the underlying factor structure of the questionnaire and the relationship of those factors to success or failure at the Academy. Further research examined the relationship between various types of military experience and performance at the Academy.
