The Approach Control Test (ACT) simulating air traffic control operations is a paper-pencil group test consisting in controlling the collision-free landing of two to three aircraft over check points in the Approach Control area. The test requires the use of a test map representing the approach control area, a tape or cassette recorder and a blackboard for occasional explanations. The test results prove the validity of the ACT used as a part of the psychological selection program for air traffic controllers.
