Air Traffic Control

Introduction

Air control is a set of services provided by air traffic controllers to assist in the safe, fast and efficient conduct of flights. The services rendered are three in number, called “air navigation services”, for the purposes of:

To provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient flight: weather information, information on the status of ground facilities for navigation, traffic information (when the control service is not provided in this area);

Prevent collisions between aircraft and ground vehicles or on the one hand, and midair collisions between aircraft on the other (formerly called "Collision"). It is also to accelerate and direct air traffic;

To provide service of alert for appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of aid relief organizations and rescue, and assist such organizations as required (Shingledecker, Darby, pp. 65-94).

Thesis Statement

The recent technological advancements in air traffic control have made the system more effective and responsive to the requirements of states.

Discussion

The air traffic control is linked to the evolution of aviation. America is the first country to make the necessary elements to establish control infrastructure of the aircraft. Although the initiative of the aviation emerged in Europe, the full development of this activity occurred in North America, and it is natural that this had happened, there were many nations in Europe, many languages ??and many borders, also had a system acceptable terrestrial communications, both rail and road, before there aviation. However, in America occurred in different ways, there was no road network appropriate, progressed at a faster rate of colonization of their vast territories that community infrastructure and the displacement between the different territories require excessive time (Kerns, pp. 181-204).

The main purpose of traffic control and air efficiently manage the flow of traffic while maintaining flight safety. Monitors the movement and air to keep the aircraft safely ...
