Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system. The panel offers recommendations for development of human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk, examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight versus ground-based authority, and more. The book explores ways in which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and complacency about its abilities. The panel presents an overview of emerging technologies and trends toward automation within the national airspace systemâ€"in areas such as global positioning and other aspects of surveillance, flight information provided to pilots an controllers, collision avoidance, strategic long-term planning, and systems for training and maintenance. The book examines how to achieve better integration of research and development, including the importance of user involvement in air traffic control. It also discusses how to harmonize the wide range of functions in the national airspace system, with a detailed review of the free flight initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the strong safety record of the national airspace system, serious disruptions occasionally occur, often as a result of outdated or failed equipment. Under these circumstances, safety relies on the skills of the controllers and pilots and on reducing the number of aircraft in the air. The current and growing pressures to increase the capacity to handle a greater number of flights has led to a call for faster and more powerful equipment and for equipment that can take over some of the tasks now being performed by humans. Increasing the role of automation in air traffic control may provide a more efficient system, but will human controllers be able to effectively take over when problems occur? This comprehensive volume provides a baseline of knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of humans relative to the variety of functions performed in air traffic control. It focuses on balancing safety with the expeditious flow of air traffic, identifying lessons from past air accidents. The book discusses: The function of the national airspace system and the procedures for hiring, training, and evaluating controllers. Decisionmaking, memory, alertness, vigilance, sleep patterns during shift work, communication, and other factors in controllers' performance. Research on automation and human factors in air traffic control and incorporation of findings into the system. The Federal Aviation Administration's management of the air traffic control system and its dual mandate to promote safety and the development of air commerce. This book also offers recommendations for evaluation the human role in automated air traffic control systems and for managing the introduction of automation into current facilities and operations. It will be of interest to anyone concerned about air safetyâ€"policymakers, regulators, air traffic managers and controllers, airline officials, and passenger advocates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fed. Aviation Admin. began to modernize the ATC system in 1981 under a 10-year $12 billion program that comprised 80 projects. In 1991, the modernization effort was redefined incorporating the original projects and about 150 additional ones. Currently, the program is estimated to cost $32.8 billion through the year 2000 and will require an additional $1.3 billion for 2001. This report provides information on the status of modernization of the ATC system. Also contains information on overall costs of air traffic control modernization. Tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety is the top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as it manages America's National Airspace System (NAS). The NAS is the common network of U.S. airspace - air navigation facilities, equipment, and services; airports or landing areas; aeronautical charts, information and services; rules, regulations, and procedures; technical information; and manpower and material. Thanks to the expertise of people and the support of technology, tens of thousands of aircraft are guided safely and expeditiously every day through the NAS to their destinations. Air traffic controller workload and traffic volume are dynamic, and so are the FAA's staffing needs. A primary factor affecting controller workload is the demand created by air traffic, encompassing both commercial and non-commercial activity. Commercial activity includes air carrier and commuter/air taxi traffic. Non-commercial activity includes general aviation and military traffic. Since the early 1990s, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have operated on a limited basis in the National Airspace System (NAS) and mainly supported public operations, such as military and border security operations. In recent years, UAS and operations have significantly increased in number, technical complexity, and application. The list of uses has rapidly expanded to encompass a broad range of activities, including aerial photography, surveying, communications and broadcast, as well as hobby and recreation. In December 2015, the FAA began registration of all Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). As policy and technology updates allow widespread use of UAS for commercial applications, impact on Air Traffic Control workload will be incorporated into our models and forecasts. Oversight of UAS is aided by FAA's new compliance philosophy which is designed to help identify and correct potential hazards before they result in an incident or accident. Adequate numbers of controllers must be available to cover the peaks in traffic caused by weather and daily, weekly or seasonal variations, so we continue to "staff to traffic." This practice gives us the flexibility throughout each day to match the number of controllers at each facility with traffic volume and workload.
