Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the development of a new Multiplex Controller Aptitude Test for initial screening of FAA Air Traffic Controller applicants. Its content includes the traditional types of aptitude test items used for today's screening. In addition it includes measurement of the ability to identify potential conflicts in air traffic, a skill that has been demonstrated experimentally to have a significant relation to success in the ATC speciality. Alternate forms of the test have been developed in a format that meets Civil Service test administration requirements. The test has been administered experimentally to groups whose abilities approximate those of the applicant population, and results indicate that it has satisfactory reliability characteristics. It has been administered experimentally to incoming students at the FAA ATC Academy and personnel on the job at operational facilities, and constantly produced higher correlations with ATC success than any other test used in the validation studies. The available data indicate that this new and customized instrument promises to be a significant improvement over the existing battery for screening FAA Air Traffic Controller applicants. (Author).

Download or read book Selection of Air Traffic Controllers written by J. T. Dailey and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encyclopedic report on air traffic controller selection research. Eighteen contributors have prepared twenty-five chapters encompassing research over the past 40 years. A historical review of controller selection research includes an international overview, U.S. research from 1941 to 19663, contributions of the Civil Aeromedical Institute and the Office of Aviation Medicine, and adjustments following the PATCO strike. A section on job analysis and characteristics of air traffic controllers is followed by six chapters on measurement of air traffic controlleer performance. These include Terminal, Enroute, and Flight Service Station training program assessment, controller skills tests, dynamic paper-and-pencil simulations for proficiency measurement, and criterion measurement in selection research. Research leading to the FAA's 1981 ATC selection tests includes chapters on development of the new Multiplex Controller Aptitude Test and Occupational Knowledge Test, personality assessment of ATC applicants, studies from 1972 through 1978 to validate the new selection tests, conformity of the new experimental battery to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Requirements, and recommendations for adoption of the new battery and further research. An overview of projected developments in ATC systems technology from now to the year 2000 is used to project changes that will occur in the air traffic controller's future role and function.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to update and refine the selection battery for air traffic controllers, five experimental tests measuring aptitudes and skills considered important in air traffic work were administered to newly selected Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) trainees on their first day of training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City. The testing covered a 21-month period from July 1976 to April 1978 and involved a final sample of approximately 2,500 new trainees. The five experimental tests and the five tests presently used by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for selecting ATCS trainees were correlated with the averaged laboratory scores from FAA Academy training. These correlations were then employed in an iterative stepwise regression (stepdown procedure). The tests that made a significant contribution in predicting Academy scores were then used to form a composite and the multiple correlation was computed for the old test battery and the new battery. The new composite demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the multiple correlation over the old test battery. Use of the new test battery could result in a saving to the FAA in terms of Academy attrition due to failures. It could also aid in upgrading the quality of ATCS selectees and aid in mininmizing human error in air traffic control work. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues of personnel development in air traffic control (ATC) have become a major topic in aviation recruitment and training. Proper selection and training methods are needed in order to reach a high level of efficiency and reliability in ATC. Pilots were considered the most prominent group in aviation for a long time, but with the development of flight guidance technologies came a second operational occupation in aviation: the air traffic controller (ATCO). This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of controller selection from an impressive collection of international specialists in research and practice. It will prove a valuable and key insight into the demands of air traffic controller selection through its comprehensive and enlightening examination of the current practice in the USA and Europe for the job-analysis requirements of future air traffic management (ATM) systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In research and application of Human Factors in Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems design, development and operation, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the range and integration of activities associated with the need for greater attention to issues such as human error, interface design and teamwork, especially in systems with increased levels of automation. This book seeks to redress this situation by presenting case studies of human factors applications in which there is demonstrable success in terms of improvement in operational systems. Individual examples are used to outline how each human factors study evolved, what it entailed, how it was resourced and how the results contributed to operational performance. Case studies include training methods, human error, team resource management, situation assessment, terminal automation replacement systems, collaborative decision-making to improve the effectiveness of traffic-flow management and the role of human factors in ATM.
