Air traffic controllers can earn high salaries, get
great benefits, and are in big demand as much of the
current workforce prepares to retire. Industry
reports claim that as many as 11,800 NEW air traffic
controllers will be needed over the next ten years.
Patrick Mattson's Air Traffic Control Career Prep
introduces this rewarding career and is designed to
help readers improve their chances of earning a high
score on the FAA's Air Traffic Selection and
Training Aptitude test (known as the "AT-SAT")—and
therefore become candidates for air traffic control
(ATC) positions. With general information on
opportunities, working conditions, training and
qualification requirements, available roles and
positions, pay and benefits, and contact phone
numbers to get started, this book and companion
software includes more career guidance, and
employment and training information than any other
available guide—the only one of its kind.
Specific education and experience requirements, and
the AT-SAT (the first of several tests involved in
the ATC employment process) are discussed in detail
in this book. The AT-SAT is also provided as test
simulation using the companion software. Included
CD-ROM, the ATC Career Prep Software Suite
helps readers to become familiar with and practice
the 8 tests in the AT-SAT exam. So that readers can
grasp the subjects covered, sample questions, and
answers are provided, including:
-
Analogies
-
Scan abilities
-
Angles
-
Applied math
-
Dial reading
-
ATC scenarios
