Pre-employment Selection of Air Traffic Controllers (FAA)

Project

AIR conducted studies to assist the FAA in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the controller selection process. For example, AIR conducted a concurrent criterion-related validation study of the AT-SAT test battery for selecting controllers to work in the tower cab. A secondary objective of this validation study was to examine the extent to which the AT-SAT could be leveraged to make decisions about controller placements into different facility levels. This project provided valuable insight into ways in which FAA’s existing AT-SAT battery can be used to make both selection and job placement decisions

The accurate assessment and documentation of the knowledge and skills of job applicants as well as existing employees is one of an organization’s most important responsibilities if it is to ensure quality and fairness. AIR builds tests based on job requirements, and evaluates the assessments, pre-delivery, to ensure they are reliable and that valid decisions can be made about the test takers.
