Evolution in the type and quantity of information used by ATM personnel

AoC number

Primary domain

ANS

Secondary domain

Description

ATM personnel will be increasingly required to monitor aircraft trajectory conformance. However, most ATC facilities will require new displays for presentation of these data.

Potential hazard

Errors due to lack of effective information integration and monitoring
Unintended uses of new ATC information systems
Failure to trust modern ATC information systems
Failure of current facility displays to support information generated by systems such as ADS-B – incompatible developmental timelines
Multiple operational modes available in ATC hardware leading to loss of awareness of the system status and mode confusion or distraction
