A Comparison of Two Methods of Controller Training in Simulated Air Traffic Control Task. A Study in Human Engineering Aspects of Radar Air Traffic Control

摘要

Improvement in performance with training in a complex task of radar air traffic control vas compared under a condition of constant high input load daring training vs. a condition of graduated input load during training. Relative Input load was defined as the number of aircraft under the control of a single pattern-feeder operator.nThe test performance of controllers trained under constant high input load was significantly superior on several criteria to that of controllers trained under the graduated input load condition.
