“…Nickels (Nickels, Bobko, Blair, Sands, & Tartak, 1995) developed a list of future ATC-work requirements which was the foundation of a selection system for the hiring of air-traffic controllers. Manning and Broach (1992) conducted a strategic job analysis to assess the changes of the ATCO-job as it is predicted to exist in the future as a result of increasing automation. After an analysis of the present job, they gathered information about the kinds of issues, like technological and organizational developments which may affect the job in the future.…”

With the implementation of the European ATM Master Plan (SESAR, 2012) job requirements for air-traffic controllers (ATCOs) will alter significantly. Especially the introduction of time-based operations is considered to impose large changes in task operations. A controller-in-the-loop simulation study was designed to assess experts' judgments on the main human abilities required for working in time-based arrival scenarios with different levels of assistance by an arrival-management system. Five male controllers (mean age: 32.5 years; mean job experience: 10.8 years) licensed for the simulated sector performed on one baseline scenario and four future scenarios. Gazedata were tracked and questionnaires on situation awareness and workload, as well as a modified Fleishman Job Analysis Survey (F-JAS) were applied. The experts judged the ability to identify problems produced by automation, as well as the ability to stay vigilant as being increasingly required in a highly automated time-based environment. The high number of gaze transitions between aircraft-targets adds objective indication: Under the simulated future conditions ATCOs were hardly able to build up attention guiding expectations which are necessary to keep up with the system-and traffic-parameters. This was also reflected in low situation awareness and high workload ratings.

“…Since personality is a relevant factor of eligibility for a job as well, this study in cooperation with DLH Deutsche Lufthansa AG and DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH addresses future requirements regarding the personality of operators. Because "although it may be difficult to anticipate how automation will affect a job, it is advantageous to anticipate job changes well in advance so that appropriate selection criteria can be identified and implemented in at the same time as operational versions of automated systems" [27].…”

Working safely and successfully in highly automated human-machine interfaces of future aviation is not only a matter of performance, but also of personality. This study examines which personality aspects correlate with safety-critical performance in human-machine teams. The research tools HTQ (Hybrid Team Questionnaire) and HINT (Hybrid Interaction Scenario) were combined for a comprehensive exploratory study. The HTQ includes personality scales measuring broad factors of personality (Big Five) as well as more specific scales and was added with objective personality assessments to measure risk taking. The simulation tool HINT simulates relevant processes in future human-machine team interaction in aviation. In a study with 156 applicants for aviation careers, safety-critical relations of some facets of general personality as well as risk taking were found. Especially personality aspects concerning disinhibiting, spontaneous behaviour and sensation seeking show correlations with poorer performance in the HINT simulation.

“…The emerging Advanced Automation System search initiative for the FAA. As noted by Ackerman may (or may not) have profound implications for (1991), ATCS selection research represents a praxis of ATCS selection (see Manning & Broach, 1992 for an public policy, psychological theory, and psychometric early exploratory study). Systematic and continuous practice.…”
