Abstract
The conversion from the labor-intensive air traffic control system of today to the virtually completely automated system of tomorrow introduces many benefits, but there are also potential hazards. A concept - “distributed monitoring” - is introduced which will make this transition safer and more efficient. Through this concept, the pilot will play a key role in his operation within the ATC system aided by an on-board cockpit display of traffic information.
