Physiological responses in air traffic control personnel: O'Hare tower.

Fatigue in flight inspection field office (FIFO) flight crews

“…This is most evident with regard to adrenocorticosteroid excretion; FIFO crewmembers' level of excretion of KGS was generally about half that of Air Traffic Control Specialists' (ATCS's) and about the same as experimental subjects in the laboratory. This finding is interpreted to mean that FIFO crews do not experience a high level of chronic stress such as that seen in some ATCS groups (3).…”

Stress in air traffic controllers: Effects of arts-III

“…They were fitted for ambulatory electrocardiography as previously described. 4 E lectrocardiograms (ECGs) from all subjects were recorded on tape throughout each of five 8-hour day shifts. Prework he~rt rates were measured during recording system checkout at the time of electrode application.…”

Stress, anxiety, and the air traffic control specialist: Some conclusions from a decade of research.

“…A Comparison of ATCS Stress at Chicago's O'Hare and at Houston. The next study was conducted at the tower and radar facilities for Houston Intercontinental Airport (34,50). The volume of air traffic at this facility was ebout 60 percent of that for O'Hare International Airport.…”
