EVALUATION OF TERMINAL FACILITY CONSOLES AND THE PAINTING AND LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT.

Abstract

Investigations were conducted at Dulles Interna tional Tower to evaluate the operational utility of the newly developed ATC Tower Cab Consoles, Type T-1, and the IFR Room Console. In addi tion, the painting and lighting arrangements of the tower cab and IFR room environments were appraised. The evaluation consisted of direct observations and human factors engineering stud ies of the operational utility of the equipment in conjunction with an examination of the envi ronmental effects the painting and lighting have upon controller performance. Results of the evaluation indicated that the consoles, and the painting and lighting arrangements are satis factory for operational use in this facility. However, the deficiencies noted should be cor rected prior to implementation in subsequent facilities. (Author)
