What Factors Affect the Salary of an Air Traffic Controller?

In the late 1990s, many people in the European air traffic community raised a very serious question about human factors research. This problem is fundamentally a serious challenge for human factor research professionals. Although people are important to human factors, Sex is not controversial, but it questions the ability of human factors research. Can human factors research produce realistic solutions and translate them into feasible operations? Where are the case studies showing human factors? Where is the evidence that human factors research has more utility than applied research and academic papers? Are there any results that are meaningful to both controllers at the operational level and to managers and chief executives of air traffic services? This book is compiled to answer these questions. It brings together the essence of European and American research, and gives a large number of references. ^[1]

Human factors in air traffic management

Barry Kirwan (Ph.D.) is the Human Factors Supervisor at the National Air Traffic Services Agency (NATS), and he has presided over a major project from 1996 to 2000 and has had a significant impact in the air traffic control field. He and his team received the Air Traffic Controllers Association Award in 1998 for their significant contributions to air traffic control. He has held human factors in nuclear energy for 5 years at the BNFL and lectured for 5 years in ergonomics at a university. At the same time, he also edited the book "Analysis of Tasks", which included 10 detailed research cases, showing the value of task analysis. In addition, he has edited a book on safety regulations; he has also written a book on human reliability assessment; published more than 150 articles, two of which have won the best papers in two publications prize. Currently, he works at EUROCONTROL in BRETIGNY, south of Paris, where he is mainly responsible for safety and human factors. ^[1]
