The role of the air traffic control specialist (ATCS) is proposed highly automated air traffic systems of the future is currently receiving considerable attention. At the present time, a prevalent conception of the controller's role in such systems is that of a 'systems monitor' or 'systems manager.' Inherent in this view is the belief that the rol

Tolerances of human subjects for orthostasis and physical work were determined at a simulated altitude of 3,048 m. Orthostasis was induced with a lower body negative pressure (LBNP) device and physical work was done on a pedal ergometer. Altitude was simulated in a hypobaric chamber. Tests were carried out under two experimental conditions: (1) aft

Ten healthy men, 20-35 years old, were tested for tolerance to hypoxia, orthostatic stress, and physical fatigue after a period of rest, and, on another occasion, after a period of physical exertion. Exertion consisted of four 10-min periods of pedal ergometry; each period consisted of a 30-watt (W) load imposed for 2 min, 60 W for 4 min, and 100 W
