Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems

Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems are the organized networks and tools that coordinate the movement of aircraft within controlled airspace and on runways. They use radar, radio communications, and computer systems to monitor aircraft positions, provide instructions, and ensure safe spacing between planes. ATC involves different sectors—ground control, tower control, approach, and en-route control—each managing specific flight phases. This system helps prevent collisions, manages traffic flow efficiently, and provides pilots with real-time guidance, ensuring safe and orderly airline operations from takeoff to landing.
