Past studies have demonstrated that women and minorities are less likely to be selected as FAA air traffic controllers than are nonminority men, and, when selected, are less likely to be successful. One major reason for this is that women and minorities have less aviation-related background experience. In response to this need the '150' Predevelopmental program was begun to give those selected for the program a 1-year orientation to aviation and air traffic control prior to FAA Academy training. The purpose of this research was to study the unique relationship between Predevelopmental training and Academy success. An overview of the relationships between various background characteristics, selection measures, Predevelopmental training measures, and Academy measures was first computed. Then, through path analysis the significant relationships were considered simultaneously to determine the unique relationship between Predevelopmental training and Academy success. The path models indicated that Predevelopmental training overall does enhance a trainee's potential for Academy success with a possible differential effect according to minority status. (Author)
