There are various factors involved in operation performance of air traffic control in terminal area,and improvement of single aspect could make some impact on other aspects.Therefore effective strategies for optimization of operation performance should be after integrated evaluation.To improve integrated evaluation for operation performance of air traffic control in terminal area,research on evaluation factors was fulfilled based on factorial analysis.Taking the Chengdu terminal area as an example,6 key indexes were chosen according to expert questionnaires,and 57 sets of samples,one for the period of an hour,were collected from peak periods(10:00～22:00) for factorial analysis.As the analysis results,safety,flow,and efficiency were identified as the most important three evaluation factors,and the weights were 0.37,0.34,and 0.29 accordingly.The results were verified in fairly good consistency with the real picture by fuzzy synthetic evaluation performed among air traffic control experts.The research results provide decision orientations and test criteria for the comprehensive improvement of the operation performance of air traffic control in terminal area from the angle of quantitative analysis.
