Title: AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL FACILITIES: IMPROVING METHODS TO DETERMINE STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. NEW TRB REPORT
Accession Number: 00742001
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The appropriate level of staffing for air-traffic control facilities has long been controversial. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed mathematical models, called staffing standards, for estimating its current and future need for controllers. In reports to Congress the agency maintains that its modeled staffing estimates are defensible in the aggregate for national and regional projections but are less precise for individual facilities. Transportation Research Board Special Report 250 documents the outcome of a study to examine the potential for developing methods by which the agency can more confidently determine the required number of controllers at each of its facilities. The study was requested by Congress and funded by FAA. This article briefly reviews the study findings and the recommended strategy developed by the study committee for improving the current staffing process.
