The Aviation Topics Speech Acts Taxonomy (ATSAT) is a tool for categorizing pilot/controller communications by purpose and classifying communication errors. It was developed by O. Veronika Prinzo and includes procedures for identifying deviations from FAA and AIM communication standards. A preliminary study measured inter-coder agreement between novice and expert coders.
Use Cases
- Classifying communication purpose based on the taxonomy categories.
- Identifying communication errors based on deviations from FAA and AIM standards.
- Comparing phraseology usage between field operations and simulations using the same analysis tool.
- Measuring inter-coder agreement for communication transcript analysis.
- Training coders for standardized analysis of aviation voice communications.
Strengths
- Includes a defined taxonomy for categorizing communication purpose.
- Provides specific error codes for labeling deviations from FAA and AIM standards.
- Describes procedures for direct comparison between field and simulation phraseology.
- References a preliminary study on inter-coder agreement.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect bias inherent to paperswithcode.
