Modern Form

The research problem raised in the article is gathering experience and determining the possibilities of implementing modern forms of training used when training candidates for air traffic controllers. For the exercise of determining the separation time between aircraft with different maximum take-off masses, an application was created as part of the research program. As the applied research method, trainees' testing of the developed application at the training center can be considered. They had the opportunity to test the functionality and usefulness of software and ergonomics of created application. During application testing, students shared numerous comments on the usability and application's functions. It was confirmed that virtual reality helps recognize the silhouettes of aircraft and their learning thanks to the possibility of their actual presentation. The possibility of training the use of separation in air traffic before the simulator training starts would lead to preparation and visualization of theoretical knowledge in practical application. Creating an application to determine the separation time between aircraft with different maximum take-off masses has excellent potential for use in the training center. The development of the application consisting in extending this possibility would allow creating a tool that, in addition to training, would also be used as software for conducting internal examinations of the acquired knowledge during the subsequent stages of training.

The Ideal

The purpose of the article is to create a database of errors and to develop an algorithm for a situational decision-making model taking into account availability of potential errors of air traffic controllers and pilots. Air traffic controllers and pilots typical errors were compiled and analyzed, arrays of specialists errors were created, binary error relations based on methods of discrete mathematics were also compiled in this article. This decision is caused by the need to formalize the interaction of specialists, since each error of the air traffic controller can be compared with a certain set of pilot errors and vice versa. In case of further in-depth analysis, it is possible to expand the database by adding additional errors arrays of the adjacent point controller, aerodrome service, planning service, etc. The goal is formed after analyzing the features of simulator training in higher educational institutions. The peculiarity is the absence of hazardous factors during the simulator training. This training takes place according to the ideal model. Undoubtedly, this approach is aimed at developing the correct algorithm of actions in normal or abnormal flight conditions, but thus the trainee can’t work out the decision-making skills if there is an error in the ideal algorithm. At the same time, existing specialists face unintended errors every working day, so having experience in this field plays an important role in minimizing the impact of the human factor on flight safety. In our case, it is proposed to include such a dangerous factor as an unintentional error in the joint training program for air traffic controllers and pilots, which will improve the training quality of specialists.

The Impact

Given the influence of the human factor on decision-making processes by aviation operators of the “leading edge”, therefore, — of the flight safety, individual and group preference systems as formalized representations of air traffic controllers about a number of spectrum ordered by danger have been investigated from n=21 of characteristic errors. That has a pronounced positive proactive character. Explicating their opinions, the air traffic controllers simultaneously form discriminating, memorizing skills, therefore, — avoidance of mistakes in a professional activity: the subjects made one third fewer errors in comparison with other air traffic controllers in the process of simulator training. Group preference systems allow identifying the features of the functioning of individual socie­ties — dispatch shifts, possible group deformations, as well as the impact on their members of the presentation features of the performing technological procedures specifics by instructors. m=37 individual preference systems of the air traffic controllers, which were involved in research, were built by pairwise comparison of the danger of errors and the application of a differential method of distributing the indicator of their total danger. That contributed to conducting of 420 pairwise error hazard comparisons. The implementation of a multi-step procedure for identifying and screening out 10 marginal opinions has led to a statistically consistent group system of preferences: Kendall’s concordance coefficient equals is W=0,700 and it became statistically significant at a high level of significance of a = 1 %. The decision matrix was formed from mА=27 individual preference systems of the air traffic controllers, which, by the definition, is a “cost matrix” and for the solution of which a methodology for the correct application of the classical decision criteria by Wald, Savage, Bayes-Laplace, Hurwitz has been implemented. It revealed the identity of the group systems of preferences obtained by Wald and Savage criterion, as well as the Bayes-Laplace criterion and such a strategy of group decisions as summation and averaging of ranks. The empirical preferences are generally the same: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients are unusually high (RB–L–W/S=0,8922, RB–L–HW=0,9263, RW/S–HW=0,9477) and statistically gullible at a high level of significance for human factor studies . The following values of the normative indicator of the not distinguishing dangers of error risk in the group preference systems are obtained: R*BL=0 , R*HW=0,19·10-2, R*W/S=5,58·10-2. The value of this indicator for the group is R*g=0,52·10-2.

The Impact

According to the World Health Organization, the number of potential pathogens worldwide is very high, which increases the likelihood of a new pandemic. The impact of the new coronavirus infection (Covid-19) on all spheres of human activity, including the air transport industry, has shown that it is necessary to take into account the possibilities of its functioning under the new conditions. During the research, the possibility of using automated modular training systems for the air traffic controllers training in the remote access mode has been considered. The well-known simulators do not implement a justified instrumental procedure for measuring the acquired skills in air traffic services and the assessment of their development is carried out by the instructor, who reacts to the student’s actions on the basis of his experience. It is difficult for the instructor to control the development of a student’s individual skills and he has to rely on his own experience. To simulate the controller-pilot contour, pseudo-pilots are involved, manually changing the flight parameters of the aircraft and simulating R/T communication. The well-known simulators do not allow independent training. As a result, a conceptual design was formed and a promising simulator with the function of training automation and voice support was developed. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions was tested in comparison with the traditional approach to simulator training. Eventually it was found that after using a special simulator, students' mistakes decreased. Subsequently, the simulator was used for practical training of students providing the distance learning in circumstances of pandemics (Covid-19). The project showed its viability and the ability to conduct remote training of air traffic controllers, after appropriate refinement of the promising simulator.

Subjective View

This article presents the opinions of Pomeranian Academy students about military training organized as a part of the Academic Legion and their subjective view on this training and the perspective of working in the army. In the study, special attention was paid to the strengths and weaknesses of the first edition of the theoretical program carried out at the Pomeranian University and practical carried out at the training center in Ustka. An additional motive for undertaking the study was the exploration of the university environment, especially the attempt to determine the level of preparation of students to perform roles in the army, which allowed to examine the feelings and attitudes of students to the program of the Academic Legion and develop six recommendations for its change. The research problem is the question: How do students evaluate the program of the Academic Legion? Due to the lack of research in this area, no hypothesis was adopted. The research method was a diagnostic survey conducted using a survey technique using the author’s own questionnaire.
