2.4.2 Attitudes
An attitude is the mental state of a person that influences behavior, choices and expressed opinion. Our beliefs and values are combined with our cognitive skills; thus, two components (affective and cognitive) give us our long range or persistent measurements for dealing with the world (Bootzin, 1983). While a person may have the competency to perform a task, that does not mean he or she will have the desire (attitude) to do so correctly. In other words, competencies give us the ability to perform, while attitudes give us the desire to perform. Attitudes change with various events in a person's life..
2.4.3 Procedure design specific skills, knowledge and attitudes (SKA)
Some SKAs are particularly useful for flight procedure designers and are a great aid to those seeking to become an “expert performer”. These SKAs are not necessarily a pre-requisite to start training as a flight procedure designer, nor does the absence of those SKAs make it impossible to perform on the job. It is possible that such SKAs develop during the process of training or later during job performance.
2.4.3.1 Demonstrate three-dimensional visualization (skill)
It is of great advantage to flight procedure designer trainees or trainees have three-dimensional visualization skills, in order to transfer geographical data provided (maps, charts, obstacle databases) into a three-dimensional mental picture.
2.4.3.2 Demonstrate ability to work as part of a team (attitude)
Flight procedure designers function as one element of the air traffic safety system. Often procedure design is where all the requirements in the system coincide and a great deal of coordination is required. For an efficient process it is very desirable that flight procedure designers are adaptable and open-minded to requests and requirements from other stakeholders. This means that need to demonstrate their ability to work as part of a team, including demonstrating communication, negotiating and group work facilitation skills.
2.4.3.3 Criticism (attitude)
Flight procedure designers should be both open to constructive criticism that is given regarding their work and they, in turn, should be able to critique other designer’s work in an unbiased and result-oriented way. Flight procedure design is not an exact science and therefore it is possible that several solutions serve the same purpose and sometimes does not exactly fit the expectations of stakeholders. Being open to criticism and being able to communicate criticism will serve the safety and efficiency of the air traffic system.
