Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Employment Restrictions

FCCJ has no restrictions on age or physical conditions of students. However, students desiring to pursue a career in air traffic control should take note of the following FAA requirements:

Must be a U.S. Citizen
Must pass an Air Traffic-Selection and Training (AT-SAT) or Office of Personnel Management (OPM) examination administered by the FAA.
30-year-old maximum age restriction for employment in terminal or en route options.
Security screening background check
Must meet the medical requirements of FAR 65 and 67 (FAA Class II Pilot medical while in a student status).

The ATC program requires extensive reading and interpretation of technical information. The ATC Specialist requires good hand/eye coordination and English language proficiency. Students should be aware that completing the program requirements does not guarantee employment with the FAA.
