What are the pre-employment tests required of applicants without previous air traffic control experience?There are two types of tests:
- Biographical Assessment: An assessment used to identify those candidates who have the highest probability of reaching final controller certification.
- Air Traffic Control Specialist Skills Assessment Battery (ATSA): A battery of tests that measure abilities and characteristics shown to be predictive of success as an ATCS.
Applicants for entry-level ATCS positions who elect to be considered under Pool 1 must pass the ATSA for further consideration. Applicants who elect to be considered in Pool 2 must pass both the Biographical Assessment and the ATSA for further consideration.
