SCOPE: A Lightweight-training LLM Framework for Air Traffic Control Readback Monitoring
Researchers introduce SCOPE, a lightweight LLM framework designed to monitor pilot readbacks of Air Traffic Control instructions, addressing a critical aviation safety gap where readback anomalies contribute to approximately 80% of aviation incidents. The system achieves 91% accuracy in detecting anomalies and 96.63% correction rates while requiring minimal computational overhead, offering a practical deployment pathway for automated safety monitoring in high-stakes operational environments.
