This paper summarizes 3 recent US Air Force studies regarding enlisted air traffic controllers (ATCs). Results indicated the current selection composite had acceptable validity for predicting training performance. Cut-score analyses revealed that changing training qualification requirements for the ATC career field would reduce attrition. but would also have undesirable effects on eligibility. Results of a survey of enlisted ATCs indicated they were generally satisfied and motivated. In addition, they identified several abilities required for on-the-job performance that are not measured by current USAF selection procedures. Implications for enlisted ATC selection and training as well as future research directions are discussed.
