Abstract

The purpose of this report is to examine the role of controller behavior in the design and implementation of aircraft spacing requirements and systems. Given the nature of air traffic control operations, it is likely that system proposals will affected by, and affect, the behavior of air traffic controllers and managers. This report examines these proposed system changes in terms of their potential effects on controller behavior and how controller behavior might influence of the effectiveness of these systems. The ancillary impact on the air traffic control system, such as increased pilot workload, are also discussed. Recommendations for procedural changes, for changes to decision-aiding technology, and for further research are then provided. It is hoped that the analyses of these systems will also be extended to other planned technical and procedural changes in air traffic management.
