Download or read book Federal Aviation Administration Efforts to Hire Staff and Train Air Traffic Controllers are Generally on Track But Challenges Remain written by Gerald L. Dillingham and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day, the FAA controls the take-offs, landings, and flights of over 50,000 aircraft. To accomplish this mission safely and efficiently, FAA must have a sufficient number of adequately trained air traffic controllers working at its air traffic control facilities. Over the next decade, FAA will need to hire and train nearly 17,000 controllers to replace over 15,000 current controllers, most of whom will be retiring. This massive hiring effort will occur as FAA begins to implement the next generation air transportation system, which will integrate new technologies and procedures into air traffic operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report identifies potential scenarios for future air traffic controller attrition and the Federal Aviation Agency's (FAA) plans for dealing with such attrition. Because of the significant hiring in the early 1980s to replace strikers who had been fired, many thousands of FAA's controllers will soon become eligible to retire, potentially leaving FAA with too few fully trained controllers. This report: (1) identifies likely future attrition scenarios for FAA's controller workforce, and (2) examines FAA's strategy for responding to its short- and long-term staffing needs, including how it plans to address the challenges it may face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) program for testing the air traffic control systems and equipment it procures under its National Airspace System (NAS) plan. GAO found that: (1) a December 1986 FAA test and evaluation order sought to implement an independent contractor's recommendations for improving system testing, but did not address the roles of system users or establish effective controls to ensure compliance; (2) FAA established an operational test and evaluation group, but that group only reviewed those systems which cost at least $150 million, and subsequent agency reorganizations eliminated the group's independence from system developers and users; (3) FAA did not always conduct the testing necessary to ensure that systems worked as intended and were operationally suitable before proceeding with system production and deployment, resulting in schedule delays of up to 8 years for some systems; (4) 11 of 15 reviewed deployed systems did not comply with the December 1986 test order, and 7 of those systems lacked approved master test plans; (5) FAA issued a new test and evaluation order in February 1989 to overcome past testing deficiencies, but that order did not recognize the need for independent oversight; and (6) FAA top management has not provided the support necessary for implementing an effective test program.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 314, The Federal Aviation Administration's Approach for Determining Future Air Traffic Controller Staffing Needs, examines the methods used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to estimate how many controllers are needed to staff its air traffic control facilities and FAA's processes for using these estimates to properly distribute controllers across facilities. According to the report, FAA's models for determining air traffic controller staffing needs are suitable for developing initial estimates of the number of controllers required at terminal areas and airport towers, but the models used for the centers controlling aircraft en route between airports can be improved. In addition, as a matter of priority, the FAA should collaborate with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association to develop and implement an enhanced tool for all facilities that is capable of creating efficient controller work schedules that incorporate fatigue mitigation strategies. The report recommends that the FAA analyze a wide range of data, such as accident and incident reports and voluntary reports by controllers, to identify relationships between staffing and safety. In addition, the controller workforce should be involved in staffing decisions, particularly as knowledge emerges about relevant safety issues. The report also says that FAA should ensure that staffing continue to be appropriate as FAA implements the new air traffic operations environment associated with the Next Generation Transportation System, a modernization initiative to shift air traffic management from ground-based radar to a satellite system"--Provided by publisher.

This massive hiring effort will occur as FAA begins to implement the next generation air transportation system (NextGen), which will integrate new technologies and procedures into air traffic operations and fundamentally change the role of air traffic controllers from controlling individual aircraft to managing air traffic flow. Hence, FAA will need to train experienced controllers to use the new technologies at the same time that it hires and trains new controllers to operate both the current and the new technologies. This testimony addresses FAA's progress and challenges in hiring, staffing, and training air traffic controllers in the current air traffic control system and in preparing them for NextGen. It is based on prior GAO work, updated with reviews of FAA documents and interviews with FAA officials, controller union representatives, and other stakeholders."--Highlights
