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.

Book excerpt: Qualification standards published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) describe the minimum experience or education that individuals must have to qualify for specific positions within the federal government (OPM, 2009). These standards are developed and revised in conjunction with the appropriate federal agency. The purpose of the current research project was to evaluate the OPM qualification standard for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Series 2152 and provide recommendations for renewing the standard for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) human resources personnel. In addition to general and specialized experience and education requirements, the ATC Series 2152 qualification standard includes seven alternate requirements for use in qualifying applicants for selection by the FAA as air traffic control specialists (ATCSs).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several conditions that can influence the calculation of the statistical validity of a test battery such as that used to selected Air Traffic Control Specialists. Two conditions of prime importance to statistical validity are recruitment procedures and the accuracy of the data base. The recent edition (1978) of the Federal Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures places considerable emphasis on recruitment practices and their effect on validity. In the first of two studies, Monte Carlo techniques were employed to demonstrate the frequently overlooked effect that recruitment procedures can have on the validity coefficient. It was shown how highly specific recruitment results in a more homogenous group of applicants which produces a small applicant group variance on the selection test scores. It was further shown how a small applicant group variance considerably reduces the validity coefficient when the coefficient is corrected for selection effects; commonly termed restriction in range. This paper suggests a procedure that eliminates this recruitment problem and results in compliance with the Uniform Guidelines. The second study describes a statistical procedure to use when it is necessary to eliminate erroneous data. The procedure employs the notions of statistical distance and probability to identify data that has an extremely small likelihood of belonging to the population of the remaining data set. (Author).

Book excerpt: "Qualification standards published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) describe the minimum experience or education that individuals must have to qualify for specific positions within the federal government (OPM, 2009). These standards are developed and revised in conjunction with the appropriate federal agency. The purpose of the current research project was to evaluate the OPM qualification standard for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Series 2152 and provide recommendations for renewing the standard for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) human resources personnel. In addition to general and specialized experience and education requirements, the ATC Series 2152 qualification standard includes seven alternate requirements for use in qualifying applicants for selection by the FAA as air traffic control specialists (ATCSs). These alternate requirements reflect prior, relevant experiences of the applicants seen as adequate to qualify them for selection. In Study 1, biographical questionnaire data were used to assess the relationship between five of the seven alternate requirements and performance of prospective ATCSs in training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Having prior experience in ATC, holding a prior instrument flight rating, and having a pilot's license all had a positive relationship with FAA Academy training performance and, with slight modifications, were recommended for retention as alternate requirements. The relationship between having experience as a dispatcher for an air carrier and FAA Academy training performance was not significant. However, the alternate requirement was recommended for retention due to the small number of ATCSs having experience in air-carrier dispatch. There was also no relationship found between having experience as a navigator/bombardier in the Armed Forces and FAA Academy training performance, and a recommendation was made to eliminate it as an alternate requirement. The remaining alternate requirements were addressed in Study 2, using a more qualitative approach of interviews and document review. For one alternate requirement, an update to the name of the military job referenced in the requirement was proposed. The final alternate requirement, which reflected an obsolete pay scale and testing procedures, was recommended for elimination. Based on results of Studies 1 and 2, suggestions were made for additional data collection to validate and extend the current standard to ensure that only those applicants most likely to succeed as ATCSs are selected. Periodic review of the OPM 2152 qualification standard is necessary as the role of the ATCS and the experiences of the populations being targeted for recruitment continue to evolve."--Abstract, Technical Report documentation page.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two decades the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) has engaged in active research programs exploring most aspects of the problems of effectively selecting air traffic control specialists (ATCSs) for the FAA. The results of those efforts have contributed directly to the establishment of revised ATCS selection standards by the Civil Service Commission (CSC). Early studies on the validity of aptitude tests for predicting successful completion of Academy training led to a decision to use such tests for part of the CSC screening standard. Later studies led to the establishment of a maximum age standard of 30 years for entry into ATCS training. In addition, CAMI researchers have continuously evaluated the validity of existing standards, have examined numerous variables and alternative aptitude measures, and have provided a number of data-based recommendations in an effort to upgrade the effectiveness of predicting success in ATCS training. This paper reviews that research with emphasis on aptitude screening measures, attrition, age, prior experience, education, sex, military ATCS training, and the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) faces two significant organizational challenges in the 21st century: (1) transformation of the current NAS into the Next Generation Air Transportation System (ʺNextGenʺ); and (2) recruitment, selection, and training the next generation of air traffic control specialists (ATCSs or air traffic controllers). What aptitudes should be assessed in the selection of future air traffic controllers? This report, the first of three, focuses on the aptitudes required in the air traffic control tower cab. First, the aptitude profile currently required at the time of hire into the ATCS occupation is described based on Nickels, Bobko, Blair, Sands, & Tartak (1995). Second, mid-term (2018) change s in the tower cab are described. Change drivers include increased traffic and the introduction of five decision support tools (DSTs): 1) Airport Configuration; 2) Departure Routing; 3) Runway Assignment; 4) Scheduling and Sequencing; and 5) Taxi Routing (with Conformance Monitoring). Third, the impact of these DSTs on tower cab operational activities, sub-activities, and tasks was assessed. Overall, the activities, sub-activi ties, and tasks of the controllers in the Ground Control and Local Control positions in the cab will not change with the introduction of these DSTs and associated displays. However, the way the work is performed will change at the keystroke or interface level. Fourth, the impact of the DSTs on aptitudes required of controllers is evaluated. The importance of the following aptitudes will increase in the mid-term: Scanning, across both auditory and visual sources, Perceptual speed and accuracy, Translating Information, Chunking, Interpreting information, Sustained attention, Recall from interruption, Situational awareness, Long-term memory, Problem identification, Prioritization, Time-sharing, Information processing flexibility, and Task closure/thoroughness. Two new aptitude requirements were identified: Dispositional trust in automation; and Computer-Human Interface (CHI) navigation. Gaps in current aptitude testing are identified, and recommendations presented for test development and validation to close the gap."--Abstract, Technical Report documentation page.
