Abstract
To support the evaluation of feasible function allocation concepts for separation assurance systems, and to develop a better understanding of the specific information requirements for key tasks (resolving conflicts, avoiding weather, and merging and spacing), air traffic controllers and commercial pilots were interviewed for their goals, sub-goals, and the individual and shared information needed to perform the tasks. The key information requirements obtained can be used as input to ascertain which information is most needed for probing when measuring individual and shared situation awareness. The elicitation also provided insights into the interaction among the controllers, pilots, and automation, and their perception of the concepts’ feasibility.
