OJTI candidates are selected by ___.

• A. A training administrator
• B. A panel designated by the ATM or designee
• C. The training team
• D. The facility

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is who has the authority and process to choose On-the-Job Training Instructors. A panel designated by the Air Traffic Manager (ATM) or their designee is used to make the selection because it brings together multiple perspectives and expertise to assess candidates against standardized criteria. This setup helps ensure the process is fair, consistent, and grounded in what makes someone effective at mentoring and evaluating new OJTI candidates. The ATM or designee oversees the process, but the formal decision comes from the panel, which reduces bias and maintains training quality and safety standards.

Choosing by a single administrator would risk personal bias or a narrow view; relying only on the training team could blur lines between program delivery and impartial evaluation; and the facility alone lacks the formal, accountable governance needed to standardize selections across the organization.
