Over 20 years ago, collision with high ground was identified as being the single most significant cause of fatalities among air travellers worldwide (Smith, 1968), and some human factors responsible were highlighted. The three factors most commonly found to be present during major civil aviation accidents were: (i) pilot's visual flight in instrument meterological conditions (IMC); (ii) navigational error by the crew and'; (iii) pilot's failure to react correctly to new circumstances resulting from air traffic control (ATC) instructions or advice – sometimes made in a language foreign to that of the aircrew. The latter factor will be tested here to see if it still applies to recent cases in the UK.

This paper is based mainly on a study carried out in 1976/7 for the UK Department of Industry into the long-term development of air traffic control systems in Europe by a team drawn from the Civil Aviation Authority, the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment and private industry, in which Coopers and Lybrand provided the economic expertise.Until the early 1970s, air traffic control was almost completely neglected by air transport economists. Economists contributed to the planning of airports and airline operations but not to the third facet of the air transport system. However, in 1970–1, in conjunction with a programme of expansion and improvement of the country's airports and airways, the US Department of Transportation launched a major study of the airport and airways system. This was designed to establish an equitable charging policy between the different categories of user but in the event its recommendations in this area have only recently begun to be followed.

Much of what I am going to say is opinion and many will find it controversial. It is therefore essential to start off from a firm and incontrovertible basis of fact. By this means it should be possible to narrow down the controversy considerably. Table I represents the state of aviation in this country in comparison with the USA. These facts are confined to civil aviation since it is the growth of civil aviation that I am talking about.

With the return of British civil aviation to normal operating conditions after the war it was found that several problems which had previously given little cause for concern had become acute. More especially, the increase in the volume of traffic, particularly under instrument flying conditions, together with certain indirect consequences of the greater sizes and weights of aircraft, had brought about greatly increased congestion around major airports, and there was, therefore, an urgent requirement for an effective system of close air traffic control to ensure the safety and rapid movement of the traffic.The Ministry of Civil Aviation immediately gave much attention to this problem of air traffic control, but at once found itself in serious difficulties on account of lack of sufficiently precise knowledge of the traffic and the traffic pattern. The then Controller of Technical and. Operational Services, Sir Conrad Collier, realised that the obtaining of the necessary data concerning air traffic control and other matters of technical interest was essentially a matter of operational research, and in 1947 a small operational research section was established which began work in the autumn of that year.

Surveillance Systems

Abstract It is shown that various sensors are used to ensure air traffic control in civil aviation, namely: primary and secondary radars, multilateration surveillance systems, automatic dependent surveillance systems of broadcast and contract types, multistatic radars. Based on the analysis of the main disadvantages of the considered systems, it was concluded that the use of multilateration aircraft surveillance systems (MLAT) is promising. The need to improve the reliability of MLAT is noted. The work proposes a method of structural and informational redundancy of MLAT based on the introduction of an additional receiver into its design. It allows to measure the distance to the aircraft using the energy method. The analysis of increasing the reliability of MLAT at various redundancy rates is carried out.

Joint Approach

The basic objective of air traffic control in military flying is, of course, the same as in any other flying; to enable all aircraft to fly safely throughout each flight with the maximum freedom to attain their purpose efficiently. In practice, this necessarily involves the imposition of conditions and restrictions, and it is one of the main aims in the development of air traffic services to increase both the safety and flexibility of aircraft operation with the minimum restrictions. In progressing this we fully recognise the needs of civil aviation and, contrary to some public misconceptions of civil/military conflict in air traffic control, a joint approach is made at all levels to resolve A.T.C. requirements.

Civil aviation is a high-risk industry where actors are experiencing increasing focus on economic performance, greater international competition, and growing safety threats that require continual organizational adjustments. In this article, we present the findings of a case study conducted within the Norwegian national air traffic management organization—Avinor, in preparation for a major reorganization initiative. In this study, we mapped the aggregated readiness and positioning for organizational change in the three main air traffic control centers in Norway using a mixed-method approach to person–environment Fit to help organizational leaders better understand each unit’s positioning for change, and more specifically, individual preferences for change styles. The results suggest that participants at the different air traffic control centers had developed distinctly different change preferences at both the group and individual levels, and that each was distinctly different from the other units in their positioning and readiness for change.

We propose a general formal modeling and verification of the air traffic control system (ATC). This study is based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) standards and recommendations. It provides a sophisticated assistance system that helps in visualizing aircrafts and presents automatic bugs detection. In such a critical safety system, the use of robust formal methods that assure bugs absence is highly required. Therefore, this work suggests a formalism of discrete transition systems based on abstraction and refinement along proofs. These ensure the consistency of the system by means of invariants preservation and deadlock freedom. Hence, all invariants hold permanently providing a handy solution for bugs absence verification. It follows that the said deadlock freedom ensures a continuous running of a given system. This specification and modeling technique enable the system to be corrected by construction.
