ABSTRACT\n\nA study of over 200 Terminal Air Traffic Control Special-ists indicated that their training performance could be wellpredicted by a composite of four aptitude tests measuring:numerical ability,non-verbal abstract reasoning,ability tosolve simplified air traffic problems,and verbal abstractreasoning.Pre-employment experience directly related to airtraffic control was also found to contribute to the predictionof training performance.Although the aptitude tests wererelated in the expected direction with a measure of job per-formance,the relationships were small.The aptitude ofverbal abstract reasoning is both unique and important forthe prediction of Terminal ATCS performance.Previousresearch has failed to identify such an aptitude as being ofimportance for the prediction of Enroute ATCS perform-ance.With the exception of verbal abstract reasoning,thegroup of Civil Service Commission tests presently beingused to select all ATCS trainees provides adequate meas-ures of those aptitudes which this study identified as mostsignificant for the prediction of Terminal performance andis still appropriate for selection of Terminal ATCS trainees.  \n竹HE RESULTS OF previous research conducted atI the Federal Aviation Agency's(FAA)Civil Aero-medical Research Institute(CARI)have indicated thecontribution which aptitude test measures can make inthe selection of personnel for air traffic control training.  \nMore specifically,it has been shown that aptitude testmeasures can be used to predict²school performance incentralized basic training courses,and⁴supervisory rat-ings of on-the-job performance at operational facilitiesone to five years after completion of basic training.  \nHowever,there are two different groups or types ofair traffic controllers(ATC's)involved in the FAA'smanagement of air traffic.The present study representsthe first major effort toward identifying specific aptitudemeasures that may have potential for further improvingthe prediction of performance criteria_for one of thetwo types of trainees,i.e.,Terminal(or Tower)trainees.Much of the previous research has been focused uponanalysis of data for trainees preparing for control workat any one of the.24 continental Air Route Traffic Con-trol Centers.Such controllers are referred to as Enrouteor Center controllers,while those working in Terminalor Airport Tower facilities are designated as Terminalcontrollers.  \nSeparate basic training courses were formerly pro-vided by the FAA Academy at the Aeronautical Centerin Oklahoma City for personnel recruited for trainingin the different types of control.However,the Enroutecourse was discontinued in October of 1962 with furtheremphasis being directed toward on-the-job training atoperational facilities.The Terminal course continuedto be offered.  \nThe Academy's two courses are characterized by bothdifferences and similarities in regard to instruction andobjectives.Common to both courses are seven academicor study areas.One of the seven pertains to Air RouteTraffic Control(ARTC)which receives major emphasisin the Enroute Course.Another is that of Terminal AreaTraffic Control(TATC)which receives greater emphasis  \nPROBLEMS IN AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT-COBB  \nin the Terminal course.Instruction and training ineither course is oriented toward qualification on an
