Abstract:Future changes in the National Airspace System indicate a self-separation operational concept. This study examined the Air Traffic
Control Specialist’s ability to maintain situation awareness and provide needed monitoring and separation functions under this concept.
The study also provides an empirical evaluation of the effects of an enhanced display concept as a window on the existing air traffic
control radar display. This window furnished the targeted altitude or heading of aircraft in a transitionary state. This information
simulated that provided by a datalink from the aircraft flight management system in a future air traffic operation. The introduction of
the enhanced display appeared to have some utility in aiding controllers in dealing with air traffic operating under self-separation. The
enhanced display resulted in improvements in some air traffic control performance and situation awareness measures. Results suggest
that further improvements in the enhanced display may better integrate it with the controller radar display. In addition, researchers
recommend methods for measuring controller situation awareness in future air traffic control research.
