Air traffic control

Air traffic control

People all over the world need to be transported every day on different places. Traffic is one of the most important things in our lifes. Today people prefer travelling by plane because it´s fast, safe and comfortable. In my work I will describe one part of Air traffic called “Air traffic control“, because I think that´s very interesting and important. People don´t care about things like Air traffic control, they just sit on aircraft and fly where they need. They don´t realized how many things precede before departure, by flight and after arrival.

Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in the air. The primary purpose of ATC systems worldwide is to separate aircraft to prevent collisions, to organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and to provide information and other support for pilots when able. In some countries, ATC may also play a security or defense role (as in the United States), or be run entirely by the military (as in Brazil).
