The purpose of this monograph is to layout teaching and learning capacities of training aids that are already used and projected for air traffic controllers. Principles, algorithms and design methods are presented for training aids meant for air traffic controllers, command post teams and flight management team members. Simulating methods are introduced for airspace & ground environment and telecommunication flight facilities. Paths of development and perfection for training aids representing airspace radar monitoring systems are discussed. Further development and implementation of training aids for air traffic controllers are important ways of flights safety enhancement. The first edition was published in 2013 at the State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (Saint-Petersburg).
Human factor is a significant component of all aviation accidents in both state and commercial aviation. The crucial element that critically impacts the reliability of the air traffic control systems, as complex ergonomic systems, is an air traffic controller. The general tendency of a more reliable air traffic controller as an important member of air traffic management system, assumes increased use and implementation of training aids in education, advancement and upgrading of theoretical background and practice training for air traffic controllers.
Modern information technologies permit implementation of advanced methods of creating training aids of airspace radar monitoring systems that allow to significantly increase the modeling adequacy of technological processes in air traffic management and enhance their educational capacity.
Training aids for air traffic controllers are the main and only means of staff preparation for special situations and special circumstances in the flight. Special situations are events that usually include aviation equipment failure or impossibility of fulfilling the initial flight plan. Very often they require the urgent landing on the nearest aerodrome, or even outside it. Special situation is a non-standard dangerous incident that accordingly requires a non-standard response from the crew, given the considerable increase of the terror threats in the world and more frequent attempts to intervene into personnel activities. Special situations in presence of the terror threat require special training for all aviation personnel involved, including air traffic controllers. Although such situations are few and far between, their appearance increases the risk of inadequate actions dramatically.
Training in the real circumstances is almost impossible, that is why training aids are the most important instrument for developing appropriate flight-control experience in special situations and circumstances. Using training aids, air traffic controllers can exercise their action(s) in different situations according to the requirements of the state regulator, professional guides and aircraft flight manual(s). Besides, the team members of the command post can exercise their interaction during different scenarios in airspace and ground environment.
