MSCD’s Aviation and
Aerospace Science Department is an FAA designated AT-CTI Program - part of the
FAA Collegiate Training Initiative which provides a pathway to a career as an
FAA air traffic controller. Students successfully completing an AT-CTI program
and who are recommended to the FAA by the AT-CTI school receive preferential
hiring consideration, as do those with military air traffic control experience.
FAA hiring requirements under the AT-CTI program include:
- completing an FAA
approved AT-CTI Program,
- receiving a degree
from an FAA approved AT-CTI school,
- receiving a
recommendation from an authorized AT-CTI school official (for MSCD, this
consists of having at least a 3.00 GPA in all AT-CTI required courses, not
receiving any grade lower than “C” in each upper division course AT-CTI
required course, and attaining a score of 70% or better on a final knowledge
exam administered by MSCD),
- holding U.S.
citizenship,
- scoring 70% or above
on the FAA Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test battery,
- being less that 31
years of age when starting duty in an FAA terminal or en route facility,
- meeting FAA medical,
security, and suitability requirements,
- successfully
completing an interview to determine whether the candidate possesses the
personal characteristics needed for air traffic control work, and
- being able to speak
English clearly enough to be understood over radios, intercoms, and similar
communications equipment.
Neither completing MSCD’s
AT-CTI Program, receiving a recommendation to the FAA from MSCD, nor passing the
AT-SAT test battery, guarantees an employment offer from the FAA.
