IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS IN THE WORKPLACE OF THE TRAINING CENTER FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS
Abstract
The aim of the article, in the pre-research issues, was to examine the scientific questions which cover the main ergonomic problems in the work environment of the training workplace for training of future air traffic controllers in the conditions of the educational institution. The methodology of researching the problem to achieve the goal of the article was based on an expert method, on a guided interview with instructors of practical training for air traffic controllers to obtain an expert opinion on identifying ergonomic problems from their own practice and exercises at the LETVIS SIM training workplace. The results of the pre-research made it possible to specify the strategy of scientific work and methodology for further research of the topic in the 5-stage cycle of the process solution. The main findings of the expert investigation have been in the area of expanding the workplaces of pseudo-pilots of surveillance / radar control by another screen which would contain electronic strips; extension of the workplaces of pseudo-pilots of procedural control with maps; height adjustment of work tables at all types of workplaces (an instructor, a pseudopilot, a student); individual lighting of work tables at all types of workplaces (an instructor, a pseudopilot, a student); the absence of an air-conditioning unit and the unsecured suitable ventilation of all rooms; the absence of heated workbenches for the protection of the carpal tunnel of participants; the absence of economic chairs in the working environment of the training workplace. The outputs of the article within the pre-research have become the input part of a comprehensive expert assessment (identification, analysis and evaluation) of ergonomic problems in the working environment of the LETVIS SIM training workplace. Identification of research problems has become a motive for changes in training practice and elaboration of an innovated model of ergonomic solution of the student training simulator for air traffic control LETVIS SIM at the Faculty of Aeronautics of the Technical University in Kosice in order to increase performance, quality and safety using computer technology.
