Control Service

This paper deals primarily with Air Traffic Control in the European region and does not refer to problems specific to other areas. Nevertheless, most of these problems are common to all regions and differ only in degree. Their solution depends upon the existence of a properly organised and equipped Air Traffic Control Service and there is now world-wide recognition by users and providers alike that such a service is an essential element in the ordered development of aviation.

This paper focuses on the provision of the Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) in the Czech Republic. It examines the functioning and the requirements on the AFIS from the view of the national audit office. Specially, it examines current requirements for the training system of new AFIS officers. Based on these findings, and by comparing the AFIS with Air traffic control service (ATC), the author of the article attempts to assess whether the current training system and the requirements for the applicants are sufficient by comparing the AFIS with the Air traffic control service. The result of the analysis is the presentation of hypotheses concerning new proposals and recommendations that could be adopted to the training and regulatory framework in accordance to the fact, that AFIS belongs to Air traffic services ATS.

Control Service

Air Traffic Control is an all-embracing term and on occasion there is some doubt about its scope. For the present purpose it will be as defined within the internationally agreed principles set out in Annex 11 to the International Civil Aviation Convention. Here it is set out that the Air Traffic Control service is for:– (i)Expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of air traffic.(ii)Preventing collision between aircraft.(iii)Providing advice and information useful for the sake of efficient conduct of flights.(iv)Preventing collision on the manoeuvring area between aircraft and obstructions.(v)Notifying the appropriate organisations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue and to assist such organisations as required.

Control Service

During the past twenty-five years the aviation scene has progressed from one in which relatively small numbers of aircraft flew from point of origin to destination with the guidance afforded by very limited M/F range facilities and a great deal of individual navigational skill on the part of the operating crews. Air traffic control functioned only as a means of sorting out the order of take-off and landing. Moving forward to the present we see the already high density traffic serving the population centres of the world continuing to increase at a rate of around 10 per cent per annum. Both station referenced and self-contained navigational systems proliferate and control of traffic must be almost total if collision accidents are to be avoided. During the same time period aircraft speeds have increased threefold and necessitated a consequent improvement in the ability of the air traffic control service to react quickly and precisely to any conflict situations, either by detection in the strategic/planning case or resolution in the tactical frame by direct intervention before critical situations can develop.

Warning Device

The post-war development of air transport has temporarily out-paced the ability of the air traffic control service to provide for safe conduct which is always expeditious, and it has certainly out-moded the concept of visual avoidance. To alleviate the situation in the areas of high-density traffic in the United States, the Air Transport Association of America outlined a requirement for an airborne collision warning device.

Availability of measures that would predict controller success in his or her task and the impact of changing procedures and advancing technology on the system as a whole is imperative to the success of modernization of air traffic control (ATC) systems worldwide. This paper describes a database that is populated by the results of previous reviews of ATC research literature, organized according to a novel ATC measures taxonomy, and made accessible via the World Wide Web and a purpose-built web interface. The database will also facilitate continual updates, allowing for growth and relevance of its contents into the foreseeable future.

<p align="LEFT">Undoubtedly air transport in today’s world wouldn’t be able to exist without any air traffic control service. As the air transport has been coming through major changes and it has been expanding, it is assumed that its volume will be doubled in the next 15 years. Air traffic control uses strictly organised procedures to ensure safe course of air operations. With the skies covered with more airplanes every year, new tools must be introduced to allow the controllers to manage this rising amount of flying aircraft and to keep the air transport safe. This paper provides a comprehensive and organized material, which describes the newest tools and systems used by air traffic control officers. It proposes improvements for further research and development of ATC tools.</p>

Abstract. The paper examines the workload perceived by air traffic control officers (ATCOs) and pilots during continuous descent operations (CDOs), applying closed- and open-path procedures. CDOs reduce fuel consumption and noise emissions. Therefore, they are supported by airports as well as airlines. However, their use often depends on pilots asking for CDOs and controllers giving approval and directions. An adapted NASA Total Load Index (TLX) was used to measure the workload perception of ATCOs and pilots when applying CDOs at selected European airports. The main finding is that ATCOs’ workload increased when giving both closed- and open-path CDOs, which may have a negative impact on their willingness to apply CDOs. The main problem reported by pilots was insufficient distance-to-go information provided by ATCOs. The workload change is important when considering the use of CDOs.
