From the Foreword by Captain Daniel Maurino, ICAO: '...Air Traffic
Control...will remain a technology-intensive system. People
(controllers) must harmoniously interact with technology to
contribute to achieve the aviation system's goals of safe and
efficient transportation of passengers and cargo...This
book...considers human error and human factors from a contemporary
and operational perspective and discusses the parts as well as the
whole...I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.' The
motivation for writing this book comes from the author's long
standing belief that the needs of Air Traffic Service personnel are
inadequately represented in the aviation literature. There are few
references to air traffic control in many of the books written for
pilots and about pilots and this is also observed at the main
international conferences. In line with the ICAO syllabus for human
factors training for air traffic controllers, the book covers the
main issues in air traffic control, with regard to human
performance: physiology including stress, fatigue and shift work
problems; psychology with emphasis on human error and its
management, social psychology including issues of communication and
working in teams, the environment including ergonomic principles
and working with new technologies and hardware and software issues
including the development of documentation and procedures and a
study of the changes brought about by advanced technologies.
Throughout the text there are actual examples taken from the air
traffic control environment to illustrate the issues discussed. A
full bibliography is included for those who want to read beyond
these issues. It has been written for all in air traffic services,
from ab initio to the boardroom; it is important that the men and
women in senior management positions have some knowledge and
awareness of the fundamental problems that limit and enhance human
performance.
