Anotace:
The communication between a pilot and an air traffic controller itself is vital and due to the large volume of traffic is increasingly time consuming. Often, it is very difficult to establish a connection with a station due to the overload and high occupancy of a given frequency. This situation results in increased pressure on flight crews and air traffic controllers. It is also potentially dangerous and unwanted in time-critical situations.
Naturally, there is a need to reduce the time of the communication and create enough space for further potential radio contact. The call signs are an integral part of each radiotelephone connection and themselves taking up a certain time interval from the whole communication. These identifications are often the cause of accidents and incidents, so it is vitally important to apply the highest safety standards to their usage and design. The issue is closely related to the human factor.
Call signs, specifically their length in terms of the number of symbols, should be reduced as much as possible to the acceptable minimum. There have been several attempts by EUROCONTROL and air companies themselves to solve the call sign similarity problem in the recent past, but none have been focused directly on reducing the occupancy of frequencies by shortening the call signs.
It is necessary to examine in detail the impact on safety using different methods of reduction in the number of symbols the call signs are composed of. The result of this process will be the lowering the occupancy of frequencies, easier establishment of first connection, easier use, and greater overall effectiveness in the use of airline call signs.
There is also an impact on the financial aspect of providing air traffic control and air traffic services in general. Especially in terms on the number of active personnel and the amount of technical equipment needed for the individual workplaces and stations.
