arXiv:2605.29543v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pilot readback of Air Traffic Control (ATC) voice instructions is a primary safeguard against miscommunication in air transportation. However, readback anomalies remain implicated in approximately 80% of aviation incidents. This vulnerability is further exacerbated by rising traffic volume and elevated cognitive workload, thereby motivating automated readback monitoring by machine. Traditional rule-based and machine learning approaches struggle to generalize across the highly variable and evolving phraseology of air traffic controller-pilot commu
The increasing volume of air traffic and persistent human error in readback anomalies necessitate an automated solution to enhance safety and efficiency.
Automated readback monitoring using advanced AI can significantly reduce aviation incidents, improve operational safety, and decrease controller workload.
The development of lightweight-training LLM frameworks offers a scalable and adaptable solution for critical real-time communication monitoring in complex environments.
