EVALUATION OF TERMINAL FACILITY CONSOLES AND THE PAINTING AND LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT

摘要

Investigations were conducted at Dulles International Tower to evaluate the operational utility of the newly developed ATC Tower Cab Consoles, Type T-l, and the IFR Room Console. In addition, the painting and lighting arrangements of the tower cab and IFR room environments were appraised. The evaluation consisted of direct observations and human factors engineering studies of the operational utility of the equipment in conjunction with an examination of the environmental effects the painting and lighting have upon controller performance.nResults of the evaluation indicated that the consoles, and the painting and lighting arrangements are satisfactory for operational use in this facility. However, the deficiencies noted should be corrected prior to implementation in subsequent facilities.
