SURVEY – IFR/VFR CONFLICTS
ATO's Safety and Technical Training gr oup (AJI) has been asked to assess the
effectiveness of awareness campaign materials related to IFR/VFR conflicts. The
purpose of this survey is to gather opinions on how IFR and VFR traffic is handled at
your facility. The goal at this time is to gather b aseline information on the current culture,
attitudes, and behaviors related to managing potential IFR/VFR conflicts. The plan is to
provide a follow - up survey in about a year, to assess changes in attitudes or behavior
related to IFR/VFR conflicts.
This IVF/VFR Conflict Attitudes survey is voluntary and all responses are anonymous.
No identifiable information is included in this survey. NATCA has recommended
participation in this survey. Please click this link to take the survey:
