This paper presents an approach describing how Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) fixations can be mapped to dynamic moving flight objects (track and label) on the radar screen in real-time, using a remote eye tracker. Real time simulations were conducted for 30 one-hour experimental sessions with participants from three expertise levels, using scenarios that mimic actual air traffic, consisting of both wide and medium angle crossing points. Monitoring performance metrics using fixation count and duration on an aircraft’s flight object on the radar screen were investigated in a macroscopic one-hour duration and four minutes before a crossing point for both wide and medium angle crossings. Distinct differences in the monitoring behavior of participants were found in the macroscopic one-hour duration and wide angle crossing. Four new parameters relating to the fixation counts and durations on dynamic flight objects, which could be used to distinguish the expertise level of ATCOs, were established.
