What is the maximum percentage of On-the-Job Training (OJT) hours that a developmental's OM or ATM may add to the target hours?

• A. 10%
• B. 15%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Answer: (C)

The maximum percentage of On-the-Job Training (OJT) hours that a developmental's Operations Manager (OM) or Air Traffic Manager (ATM) can add to the target hours is 20%. This allowance provides flexibility in training, accommodating variations in individual performance and certain situational factors that may require additional training time to meet the learning objectives effectively.

In the context of OJT, this percentage is set to ensure that while developmentals are advancing through their training, they also receive adequate support and resources to fully comprehend their roles and responsibilities. The option for adding additional hours is designed to maintain safety and proficiency standards in air traffic operations, allowing managers to tailor training programs to meet the specific needs of individual developmentals without compromising the overall training goals.
