Abstract:Historically, the development of advanced automation for air traffic control in
the United States has excluded the input of the air traffic controller until the
end of the development process. In contrast, the development of the Final
Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), for the terminal area controller, has incorporated
the end-user in early, iterative testing. This paper describes a cooperation
between the controller and the developer to create a tool which incorporates the
complexity of the air traffic controller's job. This approach to software
development has enhanced the usability of FAST and has helped smooth the
introduction of FAST into the operational environment.
