Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-65/26
Title and Subtitle: Anthropometry of air traffic control trainees.
Report Date: September 1965
Authors: Snow CC, Snyder RG.
Abstract: This report presents the body measurements of 684 air traffic control trainees enrolled in training programs conducted at the Federal Aviation Agency Aeronautical Center at Oklahoma City between August 12, 1960, and June 30, 1961. It includes the means, standard deviations, coefficients of variation, percentiles, and related statistics of 60 standard anthropometric and functional measurements.
The survey was initiated to provide adequate criteria for improving the workspace design for the air traffic controller and to provide anthropometric baseline data for future biometric and aging studies of Air Traffic Service personnel.
Key Words: air traffic controllers, measurement, predictions, students, stress (physiology), statistical data, aging (physiology), human factors engineering, classification, background, civil aviation, human body, physical fitness, correlation techniques, anthropometry.
