HUMAN FACTORS IN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL/FLIGHT DECK INTEGRATION: IMPLICATIONS OF DATA-LINK SIMULATION RESEARCH. IN: HANDBOOK OF AVIATION HUMAN FACTORS

The subject of this paper is air traffic control (ATC)/flight deck integration. ATC/flight deck integration means that ground-side and air-side resources in the National Airspace System (NAS) are brought together so that skills, knowledge, and capabilities resident in each of these elements can be shared. The paper starts with the proposition that there is an integrative or coordinative mechanism that makes certain components of the system act in greater concert and thereby achieve a better outcome at no greater cost. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a datalink should be used in the operational environment as the integrative mechanism. The research record on human factors of datalink communications to examine what it says about the overall effects of datalink on the ATC system and how datalink should be designed to reduce communication errors, enhance information transfer, and support an appropriate allocation of functions between ground-side and air-side system elements is reviewed.
