Specific contributions of aviation psychologists to the selection and Academy training of FAA air traffic control specialists are presented in an historical context. Research results which formed the basis for the written aptitude selection tests, The Occupational Knowledge Test (for assessing prior experience), and the pass/fail screens for the Academy's nonradar and radar programs are noted. Results of continuing validation research on all aspects of these selection/screening programs are presented in detail as well as the means by which the results are used to (i) predict training and performance outcomes, (ii) model the impact of program changes (iii) allow the introduction of changes (improvements) without compromising the validity of the programs, and (iv) assure compliance with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures. The application of this line of research has produced considerable cost/benefits to the agency. (SDW)
