ICAO Risk Tolerability Solution via Complex Indicators of Air Traffic Control Students’ Attitude to Risk
The solution of the ICAO risk tolerability is proposed via complex indicators of air traffic control students’ attitude to risk. Physically tangible rates and characteristics are used to determine air traffic control students’ attitude to risk levels during flight separation minima violation. The following features of human factors expression are taken as corresponding indicators: main decision-making dominants, aspiration levels, and parameters of the fuzzy risk estimates. The final solution is received with the help of a multiplicative approach. Indicators developed in the paper are proposed to be received with special survey procedure and further results processing and normalization. The explained method is applicable for both acting air traffic controllers and students of the corresponding educational majors.

Air Traffic Controllers’ Attitude to the Mistakes Hazards during Their Professional Experience
Air traffic controllers’ (ATCs) work process can be presented as uninterrupted set of decisions. These decisions occur and are implemented in both clear and stealth forms being influenced a lot. Determined and stochastic risks are especially important in this process. Human factor (HF) effect on flight safety is proven to be better considered through operators’ attitudes toward unsafe acts and conditions. This seamlessly integrates in ICAO safety paradigm. Air traffic controllers’ preferences system (PS) is discussed in regard to typical professional mistakes set. Using paired comparison, normative part of summary hazard and differentiating part of summary hazard, the preferences system of air traffic controllers is received. For the first time, mistakes pair summary hazard is determined on the unique qualimetric 100-point scale. Systems pair has high correlation level according to Spearman coefficient (R = 0.9727). Proposed Kendall rank coefficient outweighs the traditional one twice (Wtraditional = 0.2722, Wproposed = 0.55237). The significance level for all cases is equal to 1%. Multistep procedure of marginal opinions separation is implemented. It increased Kendall rank coefficient value up to Wproposed = 0.7. Survey procedure influenced positively on the ability of mistakes memorization, recognition, and avoidance during simulation training.
