The Development and Evaluation of a Behaviorally Based Rating Form for the Assessment of En Route Air Traffic Controller Performance

Abstract

This project expanded and evaluated the performance evaluation method developed by Sollenberger, Stein, and Gromelski (1997), a Terminal Radar Approach Control rating form and training package designed to better assess air traffic controller performance. The form is a research-oriented testing and assessment tool designed to measure the efficacy of new air traffic control (ATC) systems, system enhancements, and operational procedures in simulation research. The rating form used in the present study focused on observable behaviors that supervisory air traffic control specialists (SATCSs) use to make behaviorally based ratings of en route controller performance. Researchers also investigated the relationship between performance ratings and personality traits from the Sixteen Personality Factor personality inventory.
