QUALITY MANAGEMENT MAINTENANCE OF AIR TRAFFIC

Safety Culture in Air Traffic Management: Air Traffic Control

In a joint research project – Human Factors in Air Navigation Services, HUFA – between the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration and Lund University the focus is on human and organizational factors and safety in air traffic control. The Swedish Air Navigation Services (ANS) are undergoing major organizational changes in order to adapt to changing demands on efficiency and technical development ...

Air traffic knowledge management policy

A new air traffic knowledge management system is vitally important for the safety and efficiency of future air travel. It can be accomplished by developing a new-generation integrated operational decision support for pilots and controllers. At present the knowledge for decision making is only available when the latter parties share it and negotiate it in real-time. A new policy is required with...

Co-Operative Air Traffic Management

Co-Operative Air Traffic Management (COATM) is a concept under exploration at NASA Ames Research Center for transformation of aircraft and air traffic management operations towards the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS). A goal of the CO-ATM concept is to provide a scalable framework to significantly increase NAS capacity and efficiency while maintaining safety. A second goal of ...

Simulation of CTAS/FMS Air Traffic Management

A simulation of integrated air and ground operations was conducted to demonstrate procedures, flight management automation, data link technology, and air traffic control decision support tools for improving Air Traffic Management (ATM) efficiency. Air traffic controllers managed simulated arrival traffic using Center-TRACON Automation System (CTAS) tools. Flight crews in Flight Management Syste...
