What about the Next Generation? Assessing Experts’ Judgments of Human Abilities Required for Working in a Future ATC Environment

The future roles of air-traffic controllers (ATCOs) are supposed to change significantly especially in the terminal maneuvering areas (TMAs) of large airports. Due to a systemwide information management, automated planning systems will be able to utilize complex optimization algorithms to keep flight plans synchronized with constraints from network plans and airport processes on a tactical level.
