Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improving the Safety of Air Traffic Control at Chicago's O'hare International Airport; Faa Oversight: Fourth Report by the Committee on Government Operations, Together With Additional Views June 29, - This incident involved an Air Wisconsin F-27 and a United 727. The Air Wisconsin flight had departed from o'hare on a northeast course. Within minutes, the United 7 27 was cleared for takeoff with a different heading. When the Air Wiscon sin flight was one mile northeast of the airport it was directed by a controller to turn right, which placed it on the same course as the trailing United plane. The United jet then began to overtake the slower turbo prop plane until the error was detected by an auto matic conflict alarm system. July 2, - This operational error resulted after two passenger jets had been cleared by different controllers to depart o'hare on separate runways early in the morning. The error occurred because the two controllers did not coordinate with each other. One control ler cleared a United' 737 to fly a noise abatement heading after takeoff while another controller cleared a Western Airlines 7 27 for takeoff with an immediate left turn, under a normal non-noise abatement departure procedure. As a consequence, the two jets came within only feet of each other horizontally and 400 feet vertically, two miles west of the airport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO assessed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) action plan for addressing air traffic control problems at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, focusing on initiatives for: (1) staffing and training; and (2) replacing equipment for controller displays and the tower voice-switching system, and computer software for the terminal radar approach control system. GAO found that FAA: (1) believed that the Department of Transportation and Office of Personnel Management plan to provide additional pay for personnel at understaffed facilities would increase stable employment of more experienced employees and work performance levels and reduce use of overtime; (2) temporarily rehired former O'Hare controllers to increase staffing; (3) identified several national recruitment measures for attracting more controllers to supplant its previous reliance on individual regions' recruiting; (4) authorized a 10-percent increase in O'Hare's staffing level for journeymen maintenance technicians; (5) lacked a pool of technician trainees as a continuous source for replacing retiring technicians; (6) planned to enhance contract instructor support for developmental training and expedite installation of simulator enhancements for short-term improvement of controller training; (7) believed that O'Hare's division of its radar room into smaller operational sectors would expedite training by reducing the number of positions for full-performance-level controller certification; (8) has experienced difficulties, due to National Airspace System Plan delays, in replacing equipment O'Hare needs to improve operations; and (9) initiated a program to monitor and control the number of aircraft arriving in Chicago airspace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the safety of air travel in airspace that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controls through its Chicago O'Hare International Airport control tower and terminal radar control facility and its Chicago Air Route Traffic Control Center. GAO found that: (1) although most personnel rated the overall safety of the air traffic control (ATC) system as adequate to excellent, personnel at O'Hare and the Center expressed concerns with the size and composition of the work force, the work load, overtime, and the training of new controllers; (2) as of January 1987, both O'Hare and the Center had fewer full-performance-level controllers than was necessary to ensure air safety; (3) in 1987, the two facilities had 150 fewer controllers than before the strike; (4) the two facilities are experiencing problems in building their staff levels and in reducing the training attrition rate; (5) controllers handled more traffic than they should have during daily peak periods and spent too much time continuously at radar positions; (6) since 1981, traffic at the airport has increased by 41 percent; (7) overtime totals at the two facilities were among the 20 highest in the country; (8) over 40 percent of the controllers and supervisors ranked training at the two facilities as less-than-adequate to poor; and (9) FAA did not believe it should restrict air traffic because its existing traffic management system prevented controllers from being overworked and the ATC system from being adversely affected.
