Examining Relation of Air Traffic Control Student Achievement during Approach Air Traffic Control Exercises with Simulated Aircraft Flight Efficiency Indicators

Studenti kontrolori zračnog prometa sudjelovali su u projektu „ATCOSIMA“ radeći vježbe prilazne kontrole. Ocjenjivani su prema kriterijima za osnovno osposobljavanje koji se temelje na utjecaju na sigurnost. Ocjena uspješnosti ovisila je o broju pogrešaka koje su napravljene tijekom izvođenja vježbi. Studenti kontroliranjem zračnog prometa imaju utjecaj na učinkovitost leta. Učinkovitost uključuje potrošnju goriva, emisije i utjecaj na buku. Definirani su indikatori učinkovitosti simuliranog leta koji su povezani s letom dolaznih i odlaznih zrakoplova u terminalnom zračnom prostoru: trajanje i duljina leta, potrošnja goriva, broj skretanja zrakoplova i stepeničasti prilaz. U radu je ispitana povezanost između ocjena uspješnosti studenata i indikatora učinkovitosti simuliranog leta zrakoplova.Air traffic control students have participated in „ATCOSIMA“ project performing approach control exercises. They have been evaluated according to criteria for basic training which are focused on safety. Student's success was determined by number of mistakes made through exercise. By controlling air traffic, students have impact on flight efficiency. Efficiency includes fuel consumption, emission and noise impact. Simulated aircraft flight performance indicators related with arriving and departing aircraft in terminal airspace are defined: flight duration and length, fuel consumption, number of turns and step down approach. Relation between success of air traffic control students and simulated flight performance indicators is examined
