• Abstract:
  The study involved a total of 6,367 subjects in three ATCS options. Of these, 2,000 entered FAA Academy training during 1960 to 1963, before an ATC-Aptitude Test Battery became operational in the screening of most applicants. The remaining 4,367 subjects, the majority of whom were selected from among aptitude-screened applicants, entered the Academy's basic training courses during October 1968 through March 1970. Percentages reflecting Academy elimination rates are reported for entrants of the earlier and later time periods.
