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.
