ABSTRACT
We have said that transactions across a boundary and hence the kinds of control required are conditioned by the 'cultures' — the attitudes, customs, and expectations — on each side of the boundary; that the kind of conversion process in the control region depends on the extent to which the throughput that is being regulated is passing from a system with one set of characteristics to a system with a completely different set of characteristics. We have already discussed in the previous chapter the special problems of aircrew, cabin crew, and engineering; in this chapter we shall discuss the other task and sentient groups involved in transactions across the flying system/ground system boundary, and the function — load control — that straddles it.
