To address the validation of a new concept, based on the redistribution of tasks between air traffic controllers and flight crews, a joint validation framework has been defined. Indicators and metrics were proposed to assess similarly the impact of the new task distribution on four related dimensions: the human shaping factors, the activity, the efficiency and the safety. Examples were also proposed to highlight how closely the controller and the flight crew performances are, at every level of the validation framework.
