Broach and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This summative evaluation of the Collegiate Training Initiative for Air Traffic Control Specialists focused on the progress of the Minnesota Air Traffic Control Training Center (MnATCTC) graduates in en route field training. The evaluation compared 136 MnATCTC graduates with 157 FAA Academy graduates on 4 classes of measures: (a) diversity; (b) progress in training at the first assigned field facility; (c) attrition from the first assigned field facility; and (d) performance ratings at the first assigned facility. A cost-benefit analysis for the MnATCTC program was also conducted. There were significantly more women in the MnATCTC (40%) than in the FAA Academy group (17%); there were no significant differences in minority representation. Just 17% of the MnATCTC had achieved full performance level (FPL) certification as of June 1995, compared with 69% of the FAA Academy group. However, time to FPL and attrition rates were similar. MnATCTC graduates were rated significantly lower than FAA Academy graduates by supervisors in teamwork, technical skill, technical knowledge, and overall potential to succeed in the ATCS occupation. Cost analysis found that MaATCTC per-hire costs would be competitive with FAA Academy costs-per-student by FY1998-2000. Cost-benefit analysis found that the MnATCTC would begin returning about $1.45 in avoided costs and savings to the agency for every $1 invested by FY1998-2001, even with continued FAA financial support. However, with a maximum capacity of about 100 graduates per year, the MnATCTC can provide only a small fraction of the FAA controller workforce. In summary, this evaluation found that the MnATCTC program appears to be achieving its stated goals.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the initial formative evaluation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) College Training Initiative - Air Traffic Control Specialist (CTI-ATCS) Program. The purpose of the CTI-ATCS program is to test "the concept that non-federal, post-secondary educational institutions can develop, deliver, and implement air traffic control recruiting, selection, and training programs (FAA, 1990) The background and evolution of this program are presented, along with descriptions of the institutions that are involved in the training of CTI-ATCS participants. The report concludes that the programs at the five participating educational institutions appear to be functioning well. Specifically, the programs are making innovations in recruitment, selection, and training that may be of benefit to the FAA. Some progress in recruiting women and minorities is being made. However, the sharply curtailed demand for controllers poses a significant challenge to the CTI-ATCS program. Improvements in program management and communications are also needed. Overall, the CTI-ATCS program appears to be generally successful, but further study is required.

Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The FAA recruits applicants for Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) training positions from multiple hiring sources. Each hiring source has requirements that applicants must meet for eligibility. These hiring sources include the Air Traffic - Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) for applicants with specialized education in air traffic control (ATC) and general public (GP) applicants with no prior ATC education or experience. CTI and GP applicants must pass the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test battery, a computerized pre-employment test battery designed to assess a candidate's aptitude for performing the duties of an ATCS. Applicants must score as Qualified with a score of 70 - 84.9 or Well-Qualified with a score of 85 or above for further consideration. The current research provides an initial assessment of AT-SAT as part of the hiring process for CTI graduates. To consider the utility of AT-SAT in hiring CTI graduates, we compared the selection and training performance of CTI graduates and GP applicants taking AT-SAT between April 2007 and December 2009. In our sample, only 6.2% of CTI graduates and GP applicants failed to pass AT-SAT with a score of 70 or higher (2.3% CTI graduates, 6.9% GP applicants). There was variation in the scores of those who passed AT-SAT, but most were categorized as Well-Qualified (58.8%). Also, while most CTI graduates and GP applicants selected for training had scored as Well-Qualified on AT-SAT, more Qualified CTI graduates (24.2%) than GP applicants (5.8%) were selected. There was little difference between CTI and GP trainees in assignment to terminal or enroute facilities (less than 2 percentage points). The majority of the trainees (63.4%) had completed training (successfully or unsuccessfully). CTI trainees were successful slightly more often (55.3%) than GP trainees (51.9%) and unsuccessful slightly less often (16.2% vs. 22.6%, respectively). Also, while Well-Qualified CTI trainees were successful at approximately the same level as Qualified CTI trainees (55.7% vs. 54.2%, respectively), they were unsuccessful less often (14.0% vs. 23.5%, respectively). Our recommendations are to continue to use AT-SAT in the hiring process of CTI graduates and to select primarily those who score in the Well-Qualified score category."--Abstract, Technical Report documentation page.

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.

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: Do you know "How" you learn the best; the most aligned with your natural learning preferences? During years of teaching air traffic controllers in college classroom settings, Kristi Sabo noticed that aviation studies students primarily used one learning method. Sabo's book offers tried and true learning systems in bite sized lessons. When you strategically utilize multiple learning styles your learning is accelerated. Not only do you learn faster, with more initial accuracy, but you retain the information far longer. In Effective Study Skills For Air Traffic Control, Sabo showcases her deep enthusiasm for helping young air traffic controllers figure out how to absorb the gigantic amount of information that is necessary to learn and retain during schooling and the Oklahoma City pass/ fail Academy. You will also find help if you are seeking to hire on with the FAA without previous aviation studies. Training programs in the FAA are wearing, even for an experienced student. Air traffic control hiring requires you to complete both classroom and on the job training. All potential air traffic controllers are students for a period of time than can range from twelve to forty eight months. Some of what you will be required to learn is technical knowledge, some is plain rote memorization, and some is phraseology, the air traffic control language. Another category that is different than much of your past schooling is the memorization of visual materials, maps with three dimensional airspace boundaries. There are different effective study skills for these types of information. You need a new model for studying; intentional, strategic study skills that actually lessen the amount of overall time required to gain an understanding of complex material and long lists of information to be memorized. You need more than just an education. You need a new way of thinking about your education. We have applications for our smart devices, how would you like to learn some ways to boost your brain power, like a brain application to help you learn more efficiently and retain critical information long after a test. At Go Brain Boost our goal is to help students realize their potential, filling the gap in learning by teaching you HOW to study. Be more effective with your study!
