Selection in Air Traffic Control: Is Nonradar Training a Predictor of Radar Performance?

“…Cognitive ability tests. On the basis of our consideration of the literature (e.g., Ramos, Heil, & Manning, 2001) and inflections on the task requirements of nonradar air traffic control, we suspected that the following cognitive variables could play a role in predicting performance.…”

Which Aspects of a Semistructured Interview, Besides Cognitive Ability Tests, Contribute Incrementally to Predicting the Training Success of Air Traffic Controller Trainees?

“…To summarize, the job of an ATC requires a plethora of specific abilities and skills, such as excellent multitasking abilities, an extraordinary level of attention, vigilance, response speed, spatial orientation, and a high level of problem sensitivity (Eißfeldt & Heintz, ; Ramos, Heil, & Manning, ). Furthermore, social sensitivity, language skills, behavioral flexibility, and resistance to premature judgment have also been identified as important social and interactive skills (Eißfeldt & Heintz, ; Ramos et al, ). Additionally, the training of ATCs is highly specific and cost‐intensive reaching easily half a million Euros for each trainee until the end of training.…”

The Impact of Reweighting the AT-SAT Subtests on Group Score Differences

“…The relationship to job performance is especially important in this context as any remaining differences in scores between groups can be justified by "business necessity." 4 Readers who are interested in the development of the AT-SAT and its relationship with job performance are advised to consult the encyclopedic two-volume tome that describes the work that went into the AT-SAT's development and validation (Ramos et al, 2001a(Ramos et al, , 2001b.…”
