THE ATCO IN BRAZIL:
JOB DESCRIPTION
Abstract
A sample of 102 air traffic controllers (ATCOs) were interviewed
in order to establish the specific tasks these professionals perform
in Brazil. A brief historical view of this profession in Brazil is presented.
The tasks performed by the ATCOs amount to 87, which were grouped
around 17 activities and four major groups of activities. Also, 12 factors
covering the necessary requirements (physiological, technical, etc.) for
properly performing those tasks were established.
