Attrition-Retention Rates of Air Traffic Control Trainees Recruited during 1960-1963 and 1968-1970,

Abstract

The study involved a total of 6,367 subjects in three ATCS options. Of these, 2,000 entered FAA Academy training during 1960 to 1963, before an ATC-Aptitude Test Battery became operational in the screening of most applicants. The remaining 4,367 subjects, the majority of whom were selected from among aptitude-screened applicants, entered the Academy's basic training courses during October 1968 through March 1970. Percentages reflecting Academy elimination rates are reported for entrants of the earlier and later time periods. (Author Modified Abstract)
