Air Traffic Control Center

•Download as PPT, PDF•
•

The document discusses air traffic control (ATC) principles and processes. It describes how ATC centers use radar, flight plan data processing, and other systems to monitor aircraft, ensure safe separation between flights, and manage airspace flow. It covers topics like radar tracking of aircraft, coordination between ATC sectors, surveillance technologies, and flight data exchange standards.
