Air Traffic Control

An aircraft is going nowhere unless instructed by ATC (and a Flight Plan).

There are various roles in the the enviroment:

  • Ground Control - ie pushback, taxing down to runway
  • Departures - sequencing the departure slots and take off
  • Lower Air Control

Radio Communications

With ATC, you are constantly being updated on position, or reporting to "guide" you through an area.

Your Callsign is important..
