Safety Model Scenarios in the Synthetic Air Traffic Management Environment on Bases of LETVIS Real Information System

Abstract

The implementation of the deployment of new information and communication technologies as well as the possibility of their safe use are an important part for the functionality of the system to achieve the required level of safety of air traffic control services in the Slovak airspace. The condition to use the “LETVIS” flight information system in the Slovak Republic's Armed Forces for air traffic services is currently a potential option for the occurrence of undesirable security incidents in such an environment, and this could result in a human factor failure while the commands in the airspace are being issued or executed. Appropriate application of scientific research in a synthetic environment makes it possible to optimize and verify the correctness of training principles by the form of modular exercises which are aimed for solving the crisis situations. This would make the air traffic controllers prepared for a safety incident in practice and they could eliminate some fatal consequences. Some of the possible scenarios of occurrence and safety incidents on the radar screen output of this information system are analyzed in this paper.
