Traffic Control System

This thesis demonstrates a systematical analysis of factors resulting in unsafe events in air traffic control with gray correlation method. According to the case study of one ATM Bureau from 2004 to 2008, most of the human factors are attributed to communication problems between pilots and controllers. Therefore, this research is of great practical significance in improving and perfecting the safety management of air traffic control system.

Traffic Control System

Controlled flight into terrain accidents are those in which an aircraft, under the control of the crew, is flown into terrain (or water) with no prior awareness on the part of the crew of the impending disaster. This paper examines recent experience with these accidents, seeing them as the result of errors generated by a complex air traffic control system with ample opportunities for system-induced errors. Such problem areas as pilot-controller communication, flightdeck workload, noise-abatement procedures, government regulation, visual illusions, and cockpit-and ground-radar warning devices are discussed, with numerous examples of recent accident cases. The failure of the human factors profession to play a more significant role in the air traffic complex is also considered.

Traffic Control System

The present national Air Traffic Control system is a ground-centralized, man intensive system which through design allows relatively little meaningful pilot participation in decision making. The negative impact of this existing design can be measured in delays, dollars and lives. The FAA's design plans for the future ATC system will result in an even more intensive ground-centralized system with even further reduction of pilot decision making participation. In addition, controllers will also be removed from on-line decision making through anticipated automation of some or all of this critical function. Recent congressional hearings indicate that neither pilots nor controllers are happy or sanguine regarding the FAA's design for the future ATC system.
