How Air Traffic Control works in SkillScorer
Score
Each crew member in a base is scored on the Air Traffic Control skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank crew members, compare two side by side, or compare your bases against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Air Traffic Control skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior crew member's base.
Air Traffic Control scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Air Traffic Control scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Air Traffic Control scorecard covers 12 skills: Separation Assurance, Phraseology and Communication, Traffic Planning and Sequencing, Coordination with Adjacent Sectors, Radar and Surveillance Use, Emergency Handling, Weather and Runway Management, Workload and Attention Management, Procedures and Regulations Knowledge, Teamwork and Handover, Decision Making and Resilience and Fatigue Management. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are crew members scored in Air Traffic Control?
Every crew member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one base and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Air Traffic Control?
Air Traffic Control starts with these levels (called “Rating” in the app): Trainee Controller, Controller, Senior Controller, Watch Supervisor and Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Air Traffic Control skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In aerospace & aviation the app talks about crew members, bases and senior crew members, and you can change any of those words too.
