Agency has over 2,400 controllers available in canada pools. The faa in collaboration with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association has streamlined the process for transferring controllers between facilities more quickly, reducing the lag time and certifying the facilities. But the faa can make further improvements and should not hesitate to hire more controllers when staffing needs require it. The faa academy, inexperienced controlers have to train before being placed in a facility has the capacity to matriculate only 1,999 controllers per year. And before controllers can attend the faa has to conduct a background check and the faa has to process about 300 per month. This hearing is an important exercise in the subcommittees oversight of the safety and efficiency of the air Traffic Control system.

BACKGROUND: Militaries have historically utilised generic physical fitness tests to assess physical readiness, but there has been a recent shift to develop physical employment standards (PES) based on actual job demands. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to characterise the physical demands of critical tasks performed by Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel to inform PES development. METHODS: Job task analysis were performed for 27 RAAF trades. Criterion tasks were identified through a systematic approach involving workshops and field-observations. The identified tasks were assessed for dominant physical capacity and grouped into movement-based clusters. Psychophysiological measures were collected from personnel performing the tasks. RESULTS: Of 87 criterion tasks, 92% were characterised as manual handling dominant. Across these 87 tasks the principal physical capacities were: muscular strength (59%), muscular endurance (52%) and cardiorespiratory endurance (39%).
