A scarce 1982 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University course manual examining the anticipated future of air traffic control technology, systems, and facilities.
Prepared by Thomas J. Connolly for the university’s advanced AS 606 course, this specialized publication provides a period perspective on how aviation educators and professionals expected air traffic management to develop during the emerging computer and automation era. It offers valuable historical context for understanding the modernization of radar, communications, navigation, surveillance, control centers, and the broader National Airspace System.
An unusual research source for pilots, air traffic controllers, aviation historians, Embry-Riddle alumni, aerospace researchers, and collectors of technical aviation publications. It may be especially useful for comparing early modernization forecasts with today’s FAA infrastructure and automated air traffic systems.
