Organizational issues for safety aviation are considered. Human factor is a significant one in all accidents that happen in state and commercial aviation. The crucial inescapable link that conditions the reliability of air traffic management (ATM) systems, as complex ergonomic systems, is a flight dispatcher. The general trend of flight dispatcher’s reliability growth demands increased implementation of simulator devices that provides the necessary high level of theoretical and practical training and upgrade of all flight dispatcher’ skills. An advanced scientific approach to design and implementation of training simulators for ATM specialists’ educational courses in order to enhance civil aviation safety in complex environments is considered in the monograph. The current state of innovative and breakthrough technologies provides implementation of advanced methods in design of training simulators for air space radio control that allow to significantly increase the simulation adequacy of all ATM technological processes and expand their learning and teaching capabilities.

The authors pay close attention to breakthrough technologies application in design of training simulators for ATM specialists. The aim of this monograph is to lay out the functional, learning and teaching capabilities of the present and perspective training aids that are used in ATM specialist’s education and upgrade. The original principles, optimal algorithms and special methods of training simulators design as well as air traffic control tower computation are provided in the book.

The monograph contains research results and main algorithms of information modeling of ATM specialists’ working places. Modeling methods for air space and ground aerodrome environment are represented along with modeling methods for radiotechnical facilities for flight servicing that passed experimental and practical tests in the ATM training centers. The directions of the development and further improvement of training complexes are shown, it is substantiated that training simulators of fifth generation will constitute an expert adaptive system. The ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices in safety aviation were used in the book, such as Annex 19 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation “Safety Management” and other ICAO materials, including three editions of “Safety Management Manual” (1-st edition of 2006, 2-nd edition of 2009 and 3-d edition of 2013). In these documents great attention is paid to the considerations and thorough analysis of human factor in aviation and its impact on safety. The further development and implementation of training simulators are very important for aviation safety imprinting.

The monograph is intended for radiotechnical specialists in: radiolocation, radio navigation, navigation and air traffic management, system analysis, modeling of radiotechnical systems. The monograph was prepared for publication by the scientists and members of the base faculty “Radiotechnical systems of ATM instrumentation and their exploitation” in the Federal State autonomous institution of higher professional education “Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace instrumentation” (SUAI).
