Radical Revision of En-Route Air Traffic Control

摘要

A study of the En-route Air Traffic Controllers' Interface with the ATC systemled to wider consideration of the display and handling of ATC information for en-route air traffic. Initial consideration of the 'surface ergonomics' led to an in-depth consideration of the proper allocation of tasks between the controller and the system, and of the optimal distribution of information flow, employing current available technology. This leads to a proposal for a radical revision of En-route Air Traffic Control, the consequences of which are briefly considered.
