REDUCED POSTING AND MARKING OF FLIGHT PROGRESS STRIPS FOR EN ROUTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

摘要: Flight progress strips (FPSs) are used by air traffic controllers to obtain information about a flight and record changes in parameters such as route, speed altitude. A new display system is being implemented control centers that will allow less room post FPSs. This study examines the performance workload effects of removing some redundant behaviors, posting marking, associated with FPS required for en route testing marking procedure designed reduce controller's need FPS. Individual controller teams operating either high- or low-altitude sectors participated study. Results showed posted fewer FPSs marked them often experimental procedure. No detrimental on performance, workload, position relief briefings, team communications were observed. Most reported they preferred online measures using comparable existing
