This volume is one of a series of operations concepts for the FAA's Advanced Automation System (AAS). It describes how Tower controllers in the Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) may perform their operational jobs in the full TCCC environment. TCCC functionally is assumed to be as described in the AAS System Level Specification, 24 April 1987. Separate analyses are presented for the three basic control positions: Local Control, Ground Control, and Clearance Delivery/Flight Data. Included here are: Composition Graphs showing the logical flow of operational tasks performed in response to or anticipation of external Air Traffic Events; a series of analyses of these tasks, including Task Information Requirements, Cognitive/Sensory Attributes, Performance Criteria, and summary Dialogue Description; a User Interface Language aggregating system input and output messages in a hierarchical organization; decomposition of tasks to their constituent procedural element; and traceability between tasks and supporting TCCC functionality. Data presented here are generated and maintained using the Computer-Human Operational Requirements Analysis System (CHORAS). CHORAS includes an automated task data base, specialized graphing capabilities, and display and hard copy output features tailored to the needs of operations concept analysis.
