| Abstract | One of the most important time-critical air traffic control messages for a pilot is one that required an immediate maneuver for traffic avoidance. This study examines the time required for an air traffic controller to successfully transmit such a message in the en route environment as measured from the beginning of the controller's message to the end of the pilot's correct acknowledgement. This total time is broken down into its component parts: the duration of the controller's message, the time between the end of the controller's message and the beginning of the pilot's response, and the duration of the pilot's acknowledgement. For comparison purposes, transmissions relaying clearances for turns for reasons other than traffic and traffic advisories were also examined. |
