Abstract: The Air Traffic Scenarios Test (ATST) is a low-fidelity radar simulation that is part of the Air Traffic Training and Test (AT-SAT) battery. Past Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and military research has shown the ATST to be a strong predictor of training success for air traffic control specialists (ATCSs). Because the ATST was such a strong predictor of controller performance, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) was interested in using the ATST as part of its entrance testing selection process for air traffic. However, the current version of the ATST takes about an hour and a half to complete, and is too long for the USAF to use in its present form. In agreement with the FAA, the USAF requested that the FAA shorten (can be completed in less than an hour) the ATST without jeopardizing its reliability and validity. Two studies were conducted to examine whether it would be possible to shorten the ATST.\n
