Air traffic control
Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based
controllers who direct
aircraft on the ground and in the air. A controller's primary task is to
separate certain aircraft — to prevent them from coming too close to each other by use of lateral, vertical and longitudinal separation. Secondary tasks include ensuring safe, orderly and expeditious flow of traffic and providing information to pilots, such as weather, navigation information and NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen).
