Monitoring the frequency and determining the causes of operational errors - defined as the loss of prescribed separation between aircraft - is one approach to assessing the operational safety of the air traffic control system. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) refers to the loss of separation standards between aircraft as an operational error (OE). The extent to which separation is lost determines the severity of the error. The first study examined the relationships between error occurrence, controller workload (number of aircraft and traffic complexity) and causal factors involved. The FAA's Final Operational Error/Deviation Reports for ARTCC facilities during calendar years 1985-88 comprised the data base. A majority of the errors occurred under conditions of below average (25%) or average (39%) complexity.
