Approach Control

Approach control is a specialized air traffic service that manages aircraft as they prepare to land at an airport. It guides planes from higher altitudes and longer distances into a final approach, ensuring safe separation and smooth sequencing for landing. Think of it as a traffic coordinator for aircraft nearing an airport, using radar and radio communications to direct pilots accurately and efficiently. Approach control reduces congestion in the final stages of flight, ensuring that each aircraft lands safely and on time.
