Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulation studies of a plan for an interim common terminal radar control facility to serve the New York metropolitan area were conducted at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center, Atlantic City, New Jersey. The studies were divided into two phases. In the first phase, equipment and controller arrangement configurations were explored and a single configuration was ultimately developed. In the second phase, the plan was evaluated using the configuration developed. It was concluded that the basic console design provided adequate space for all anticipated required equipments and allowed for optimum controller placement for large screen display viewing. The console design was not considered optimum for the positions located at a second row of consoles since these positions did not use the large screen displays. The equipment configuration provided an environment in which intrafacility coordination was facilitated. It was recommended that further study and evaluation of the Eidophor projection system and large screen display presentations be conducted prior to the introduction of this type of display into an operational facility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The actual and potential contributions of human factors to the smooth and efficient functioning of systems for the ground control of aircraft are described and discussed. These systems are concerned with air traffic control or air defense, which fulfill different roles but share many human factors problems. The nature of the human factors contribution at each stage in the evolution of a ground control system is described. Much work has dealt with displays, controls, or communications, or with man's role in complex man-machine systems. Individual differences are considered in relation to selection, training, and screening procedures, and some of the differences which appear most relevant in systems are discussed. Both traditional and new methods for measuring operators are examined in terms of their merits and limitations. The factors of potential relevance to task performance are very numerous, and certain advances in other applied or academic contexts may be adapted with profit to ground control systems. Many of the proposed solutions to human factors problems have been based on limited evidence, mainly because man is treated primarily as a system component. Numerous studies have produced findings related to a specific task, but few widely applicable facts have emerged. Some probable future trends in the application of human factors to ground control systems are suggested. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Airway Transportation System Specialists ATSS) maintain and certify the equipment in the National Airspace System (NAS).In fiscal year 2012, Technical Operations had a budget of $1.7B. Thus, Technical Operations includes approximately 19 percent of the total FAA employees and less than 12 percent of the $15.9 billion total FAA budget. Technical Operations comprises ATSS workers at five different types of Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities: (1) Air Route Traffic Control Centers, also known as En Route Centers, track aircraft once they travel beyond the terminal airspace and reach cruising altitude; they include Service Operations Centers that coordinate work and monitor equipment. (2) Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities control air traffic as aircraft ascend from and descend to airports, generally covering a radius of about 40 miles around the primary airport; a TRACON facility also includes a Service Operations Center. (3) Core Airports, also called Operational Evolution Partnership airports, are the nation's busiest airports. (4) The General National Airspace System (GNAS) includes the facilities located outside the larger airport locations, including rural airports and equipment not based at any airport. (5) Operations Control Centers are the facilities that coordinate maintenance work and monitor equipment for a Service Area in the United States. At each facility, the ATSS execute both tasks that are scheduled and predictable and tasks that are stochastic and unpredictable in. These tasks are common across the five ATSS disciplines: (1) Communications, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers and pilots to be in contact throughout the flight; (2) Surveillance and Radar, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to see the specific locations of all the aircraft in the airspace they are monitoring; (3) Automation, maintaining the systems that allow air traffic controllers to track each aircraft's current and future position, speed, and altitude; (4) Navigation, maintaining the systems that allow pilots to take off, maintain their course, approach, and land their aircraft; and (5) Environmental, maintaining the power, lighting, and heating/air conditioning systems at the ATC facilities. Because the NAS needs to be available and reliable all the time, each of the different equipment systems includes redundancy so an outage can be fixed without disrupting the NAS. Assessment of Staffing Needs of Systems Specialists in Aviation reviews the available information on: (A) the duties of employees in job series 2101 (Airways Transportation Systems Specialist) in the Technical Operations service unit; (B) the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union of the AFL-CIO; (C) the present-day staffing models employed by the FAA; (D) any materials already produced by the FAA including a recent gap analysis on staffing requirements; (E) current research on best staffing models for safety; and (F) non-US staffing standards for employees in similar roles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL International Edition is an authoritative book that provides readers with a good working knowledge of how and why the air traffic control system works. This book is appropriate for future air traffic controllers, as well as for pilots who need a better understanding of the air traffic control system. FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, International Edition discusses the history of air traffic control, emphasizing the logic that has guided its development. It also provides current, in-depth information on navigational systems, the air traffic control system structure, control tower procedures, radar separation, national airspace system operation and the FAA's restructured hiring procedures. This is the only college level book that gives readers a genuine understanding of the air traffic control system and does not simply require them to memorize lists of rules and regulations.
