TRANSCRIPT
Air traffic control communication at Portland International Airport - July 1, 1990

Introduction
This report contains a transcript of radio communications between air traffic controllers and pilots. The transcript was prepared as part of the ATC Interaction Research Project (AIR Project) at the Oregon Graduate Institute, which has been investigating computational representations of Air Traffic Control (ATC) communication.
This transcript covers 30 minutes of the radio communications of one controller in the Portland International Airport (PDX) Terminal Radar Control (TRACON) Facility. The controller was
working one of the two approach positions; that is, he was responsible for aircraft entering and leaving a portion of the PDX Approach Radar Service Area (ARSA).
The transcript was made from a recording taped from radio at a site approximately two NM from the airport on July 1, 1990, between 10:45 and 11:15 AM. A copy of this recording on cassette
may be obtained by writing to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Oregon Graduate Institute. The recording exhibits high-frequency cutoff and high noise levels, however, so it may not be suitable for direct use with speech recognizers.
The transcript is in two parts. The section entitled “Full Transcript” depicts all exchanges chronologically as they occurred. However, air traffic control dialogue can be viewed as many interleaved yet fairly independent conversations, so in the “Separated Transcripts” section utterances are grouped by aircraft to show the course of each individual conversation. The utterance numbers from the full transcript are preserved in the separated transcripts so that the utterance context may be located easily
