An experiment on the relationship between aeromedical color vision screening test performance and performance on color-dependent tasks of Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS) was replicated to expand the database supporting the job-related validity of 13 FAA-accepted screening tests. ⋯ The aeromedical screening tests were generally acceptable in terms of selecting individuals who did not make errors on ATCS color tests, but several tests had high false alarm rates. High job-related validity, in the vicinity of 0.90, was confirmed for several aeromedical color vision tests used for ATCS screening.

Estimated individual annual cosmic radiation doses for flight crews.
Individual annual cosmic radiation doses for fulltime airline crewmembers were calculated for 12 consecutive months using data from flight profiles and previously reported cosmic radiation intensity measurements at various altitudes. ⋯ The calculated individual doses reflect the type of aircraft flown and the amount of flight time. The calculated doses are lower than those received by simply assuming constant radiation exposure at all altitudes during flight. Annual individual doses are well below the maximum 5 mSv x a(-1) allowed by the national laws.
