Abstract
We investigated the impact of mixed equipage traffic on air traffic controller (ATC) performance, workload and situation awareness in an airspace simulation of an en route sector. Nine retired ATCs and seven student ATCs managed traffic and responded to probe questions designed to measure workload and situation awareness. ATC performance was measured with the AT-SAT OTS Performance Rating Form. Although workload decreased with increasing mixtures of equipped aircraft, the number of LOS appeared to be related more to the percentage of alerted conflicts in the scenario. The probe measure of workload and situation awareness was related to AT-SAT ratings.
