Patrick Mattson's Air Traffic Control Career Prep introduces this rewarding career and is designed to help readers improve their chances of earning a high score on the FAA's Air Traffic Selection and Training Aptitude test (known as the "AT-SAT")—and therefore become candidates for air traffic control (ATC) positions.

The AT-SAT is also provided as test simulation using the companion software.
