Controller Productivity in the Upgraded Third Generation Air Traffic Control System. Part I. Automation in the Pre-Data Link Era.

Abstract

This document is one of two reports which were prepared to provide the latest estimates of the expected increase in productivity of enroute and terminal area air traffic controllers, due to the implementation of the Upgraded Third Generation control system. Part I addresses the automation improvements in the pre-data link era. A new methodology for projecting staffing requirements is provided which makes it possible ot assess the impact of varying degrees of improvements in different types of facilities. The benefits due to the implementation of these automation programs are discussed in detail and transformed into dollar savings. (Author)
