DeWitt’s Area Control Policy

DeWitt’s Area Control Policy is a strategic framework used in military aviation to ensure effective and safe management of airspace during operations. It emphasizes assigning specific regions or “areas” to different units to maintain organized, conflict-free movement of aircraft. By clearly delineating control zones, it helps prevent accidents, optimizes airspace utilization, and facilitates coordination among multiple units operating simultaneously. The policy promotes disciplined adherence to designated sectors, ensuring that aircraft operate within their assigned areas unless authorized to move elsewhere, enhancing overall operational efficiency and safety.
