Cognitive Abilities and Gender during Air Traffic Controllers Selection and Training
Résumé
CONTEXT • Air traffic controllers (ATCO) ensure air traffic safety and efficiency. Their training is complex and costly. French ATCO are civil servants and their training lasts several years (two-year period for initial training, and duration of on-the-job training according to center complexity). The training cost for a French ATCO amounts to several hundred thousand euros. • ATCO are commonly selected by cognitive abilities assessment (Mouratille et al, 2022). Best predictors are work sample, working memory, composite score etc. But an important part of variance is always unexplained (10% of explained variance with cognitive predictors).
• However, cognitive abilities are different according to gender (Reynolds, Hajovsky and Caemmerer, 2022). Can it be a problem in a selection context ? A source of adverse impact ?
