INTERIMRAPPORT WERKBELASTING RADAR-LUCHTVERKEERSLEIDERS SCHIPHOL

The workload at the Amsterdam airport was measured with a view to analyzing mental load factors and to studying the effect of task performance on the air traffic controller. Number and content of the air traffic information strips, radio telephony communication, coordination with other air traffic sectors, and telephone calls with other air traffic control centers were registered for five air traffic controllers during the week of Aug. 6, 1973. The results of the task analysis parameters were evaluated and preliminary conclusions were made.
