What a 1C1X1 Does

Air Traffic Controllers direct aircraft on the ground and in the air around Air Force bases and deployed airfields. You will issue clearances, keep aircraft safely separated, and handle emergencies using radar and radio. The job demands clear speech, quick decisions, and a calm head, and it leads to a Federal Aviation Administration controller certificate.

Scores That Count for 1C1X1

MAGE scores are percentiles: a G of 55 means you scored as well as or better than 55 percent of the reference group. Some jobs also use the TAPAS personality test or the Predictive Success Model (PSM), which are given separately.
