Controller Staffing and Training at Four FAA Air Traffic Control Facilities.
Abstract
GAO's review of air traffic controller staffing, at the Chicago O'Hare and Denver Stapleton Airports and at the Chicago and Denver enroute traffic control centers indicated staffing level problems only at O'Hare. Some problems with controller training were noted at each facility. FAA is taking steps to alleviate the staffing problem at O'Hare and to correct some of the training problems. GAO also found no correlation between aircraft accidents or violations of FAA's separation standards for aircraft and controller staffing level or training. (Author)
