... The analysis of performance errors showed moderate concern for all error types, with communication errors and misidentification/loss of separation scoring the highest. This highlights the importance of developing clear communication protocols and procedures to minimize the risk of errors (Gupta, Jain, & Vaszkun, 2016;Kozak, Platenka, & Vrsecka, 2022). Additionally, concerns regarding procedural errors, inattention/overload errors, and decision-making errors emphasize the need for ongoing training and support for controllers as they adapt to managing a more complex airspace environment. ...

The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into non-segregated airspace presents both opportunities and challenges for air traffic control (ATC). The aim of the study is to explore the perspectives of air traffic controllers on the current and anticipated challenges, workload, stress factors, performance errors, and mitigation strategies related to UAV integration. The sample consisted of 213 air traffic controllers in Türkiye. UAV operations have been available in Türkiye not only for military purposes but also for purposes such as forest fires, earthquakes, security, and others for a long time, and these UAV operations are provided with air traffic services (ATS) by air traffic controllers. The results show that air traffic controllers are concerned about mid-air collisions due to UAV technology limits and regulatory gaps, along with managing risks and unique flight characteristics. Addressing technology limitations, regulatory ambiguity, and other factors necessitates a comprehensive strategy. Solutions must prioritize collision avoidance systems, clear communication guidelines, and defined no-fly zones. It is recommended that future studies focus on the comprehensive impact of UAVs on air traffic operations and the development of regulations.
