Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Performs Workload Analysis with SkillsNET

WAXAHACHIE, TX April 2007 -

SkillsNET® Government Ltd is currently involved in a work effort with the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), whose mission is to provide the safest and most efficient aerospace system in the world. In a collaborative effort, both SkillsNET and the FAA are aiming to help reduce delays and make air travel more reliable.

Specifically, SkillsNET is performing a workload analysis for two positions within the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) structure. The positions include Traffic Management Coordinator (TMC) and Supervisory Traffic Management Coordinator (STMC). The focus of the analyses includes the review and description of various work activities at multiple levels and units of analysis. Attributes such as duration, required personnel, and consequences of unsuccessful performance (among other characteristics) are being evaluated to fully explore TMC and STMC workload requirements. Results of these analyses will be used to develop staffing models, thereby enhancing the reliability of air travel. This critical initiative is part of a wide-ranging transformation of the entire airspace system.
