Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen Human Factors Division commissioned this research to identify and share lessons learned from two air traffic control facilities that were “early adopters” of Established on Required Navigation Performance (EoR) (RNP) procedures. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Denver International Airport were the first two airports within the United States National Airspace System (NAS) to operationalize EoR. Phase I of the research involved reviewing the relevant concept validation documentation and research literature. This was followed by 38 interviews with personnel at Seattle and Denver Terminal Radar Control (TRACON) facilities, including 24 Certified Professional Controllers. The results include consideration of how air traffic controllers integrate new procedures into their controlling style and practice within dependent operations (Seattle) and widely spaced operations (Denver). This report also addresses some organizational and operational factors that either support or hinder controller utilization of new procedures. The results may assist in realizing the potential benefits of EoR at other airports and could also be used to support the wider implementation of trajectory-based operations within the National Airspace System. The research also provides some human factors and change management insights into the introduction of new technology, new procedures, and automation in operational air traffic control.
