This volume is one of a series of operations concepts for the Air Traffic Controllers. It describes how Tower controllers in Airport Traffic Control Towers may perform their operational jobs in the manual, ARTS, TPX-42 environment. Separate analysis 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 Information Requirements, Cognitive/Sensory Attributes, and Performance criteria; a User Interface Language aggregating system input and output messages in a hierarchical organization; decomposition of tasks to their constituent procedural elements; and traceability between tasks and ATC procedures documents. 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. Keywords: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Task Analysis, Composition graphs, Man machine interface. (SDW)
