ESTIMATION OF UG3RD PRODUCTIVITY IMPACTS

This study estimates the value of savings attainable from reduced Air Traffic Service staff requirements associated with implementation of the Upgraded Third Generation Air Traffic Control System (UG3RD). Estimates of staff requirements, assuming either a continuation of the present air traffic control system or alternatively, various UG3RD improvements, were prepared from an analysis of specific job functions at sample facilities. Sample estimates were expanded to provide estimates of required staff at all centers and 30 selected TRACONS and/or terminals for the period 1976 and 2000. Manpower differentials were calculated and valued at an average 1975 wage plus benefit cost. (Author)
