N2 - The present research defines a pattern-based measure for deviations from Closed Loop Communication Deviations (CLCD) that can be used to predict Loss of Separation (LOS). Six retired Air Traffic Controllers were recruited and tested in three conditions of varying workload in a TRACON arrival radar simulation. Communication transcripts from simulated trials were transcribed, and Closed Loop Communications (CLC) coding schemes were applied. Results of the study demonstrated a positive correlation between CLC and LOS, indicating that CLCD could be a variable used to predict LOS. However, more research is required to determine if CLCD can predict LOS with other dynamic measures, such as coordination of communication and heart rate variability.
