Some Theoretical Aspects of the Air Traffic Controller Training Group Formation, in Accordance to Obtain a Certain Level of Professional Qualities

Silva Andersone, Vladimirs Šestakovs

Abstract


A technique is proposed to enhance the professionally important qualities of air traffic controllers at the stage of training on the basis of training group formation. The methodology is based on cluster analysis. The proposed criteria are based on the measure of the similarity of student qualities.

Keywords:
Air traffic controller (ATC); cluster analysis; professionally important qualities; training
