AVIATOR is the FAAâs job application system. It supports Human Resources in creating vacancy announcements, collecting applications. Each time an applicant applies, the system provides the applicant a link to voluntarily complete a survey regarding his/her experience in using AVIATOR in applying to FAA job announcements. The survey results are reviewed each week during a meeting with the AVIATOR programmers and system owners. The results are used to make enhancements to the system to improve/enhance AVIATOR application process. Results are not shared with the general public.

The decrease in burden from 7 minutes to 3 minutes is due to improvements to how the questions were presented to the respondents. For example, the prior survey used more text boxes that required the respondent to type out a phrase or a sentence, whereas the current method uses more radio buttons which present choices for the respondent to choose from. Additionally, in general, technology has improved on personal computers, such as bandwidth and faster computer processors.
The previous burden and respondent figures were based on estimates. This submission has been updated based on actuals from 2017.
