Abstract
In the following we want to look at automation and the introduction of new technology in the working sphere of air traffic controllers from a psychological perspective. The following topics will be covered:
-
How can air traffic controllers, technology, pilots, and management be seen as a complex system?
-
What is the meaning of flight security in this interrelation?
-
Which factors determine human action (in our case, the actions of air traffic controllers)?
-
What measures can increase flight security?
