Everything within the air traffic control (ATC) system
exists for the purpose of getting the airplane from Point A to Point B
as efficiently as possible without hitting the ground, obstructions, or
other aircraft. The key to operating effectively in the ATC system is to
understand not only how the system works but why it works the way it
does.
This book explains advantages and disadvantages as well as the
activities that are often unfamiliar to pilots and can result in
unexpected problems between pilot and controller. It also addresses
recent advances in technology and procedures for both pilots and
controllers alike.
This book progresses from basic procedures and personnel that pilots
encounter in the air traffic system, through the normal sequence of
interaction between pilot and controller, to solutions for emergency
situations. Provides helpful tips concerning the obstacles that inhibit
effective communication, making practical recommendations for
alleviating difficulties. Softcover, illustrated, 7" x 10", 235 pages.
