Introduction
A
ir traffic control (ATC) is a part of airport operation 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. Air traffic controllers are persons who operate the
air traffic control system to expedite and maintain a safe and orderly
flow of air traffic and help prevent mid-air collisions. They apply
separation rules to keep each aircraft apart from others in their area of
responsibility and move all aircraft efficiently through 'their' airspace
and on to the next.

Air Traffic Services
A
ir Traffic Services or ATS is a generic term which
encompasses Air Traffic Control ATCO’s, Flight
Information, Alerting Service and Air Traffic Advisory. The
Objective of The Air Traffic Services are to prevent aircraft
from colliding each other and obstructions in the maneuvering area,
expedite and maintain flow of air traffic, provide advice and information
for the safety of aircraft and control of the flight. Air traffic control
service including area, approach and aerodrome control services.

Classifications
T
he world’s navigable airspace is divided into three-dimensional
segments, each of which is assigned to a specific class. On March 12,
1990, ICAO adopted the current airspace classification scheme. The
classes are fundamentally defined in terms of flight rules and interactions
between aircraft and Air Traffic Control (ATC). Some key concepts are:
Separation: Maintaining a specific minimum distance between an aircraft and another aircraft or
terrain to avoid collisions, normally by requiring aircraft to fly at set levels or level bands, on set
routes or in certain directions, or by controlling an aircraft's speed.
Clearance: Permission given by ATC for an aircraft to proceed under certain conditions contained
within the clearance.
Traffic Information: Information given by ATC on the position
Most nations adhere to the classification specified by the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) which places further rules on air navigation for reasons of national security or safety are
described below:-
Class A: All operations must be conducted under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and are subject to
ATC clearance. All flights are separated from each other by ATC.
Class B: Operations may be conducted under IFR or Visual flight rules (VFR). All aircraft are subject
to ATC clearance. All flights are separated from each other by ATC.
Class C: Operations may be conducted under IFR or VFR. All flights are subject to ATC clearance.
Aircraft operating under IFR and VFR are separated.
Class D: Operations may be conducted under IFR,or VFR. All flights are subject to ATC clearance.
Aircraft operating under IFR and VFR are separated from each other, and are given traffic
information in respect of VFR flights. Flights operating under VFR are given traffic information in
respect of all other flights.
Class E: Operations may be conducted under IFR or VFR. Flights under VFR are not subject to ATC
clearance. As far as is practical, traffic information is given to all flights in respect of VFR flights.
Class F: Operations may be conducted under IFR or VFR. ATC separation will be provided, so far as
practical, to aircraft operating under IFR.
Class G: Operations may be conducted under IFR or VFR. ATC separation is not provided.
Classes A-E are referred to as Controlled Airspace. Classes F and G are Uncontrolled Airspace.

The Principle How Aircraft Fly
T he Aircrafts fly with the principle of Lift (i.e, allowing air to pass
below the vehicle while moving at high speeds). The engine used
in a typical aircraft is a turbojet engine which propel the aircraft
to obtain high velocity and as the speed increases the air below the
aircraft lift the craft and as it reach higher and higher the air pressure
becomes more delicate and makes a plane an easy flier.
For a moment think of an airplane moving from right to left and the
flow of air moving from left to right. There 4 forces which act on the
aircraft. These are lift, drag, weight and thrust. As the aircraft gain
speed that created by the engine that create thrust force see Newton
Third Law of Motion , air passes faster and faster over its wing and lift
force is create see Bernoulli’s Principle and because the engine is
attached to the wing and the wing is attached to the aircraft fuselage
carried the aircraft fly in the sky.

Local Control
(Aerodrome)
A
n Aerodrome or Airfield is a term for any location from which
aircraft flight operations take place, equipped with control tower.
Including any runaway, taxi tracks, aprons, buildings,
installations, and equipment intended to be used either wholly or
in part for the parking, maintenance, arrival, departure, and surface movement
of aircraft . When used in the provisions relating to flight plans and ATS (air
traffic services). The term is used and designated as in ICAO Annex 14 to the
Convention. The Standards and Recommended Practices were based on
recommendations of the Aerodromes, Air Routes and Ground Aids Division,
their physical characteristics and their operation.

Area Control
A
rea controllers are responsible for the safety of aircraft at higher
altitudes, in the phase of their flight.In most nations they are
known as “area” or “en route” controllers. Airspace under the
control of area controllers is split into sectors. Each sector will be managed by
at least one Area controller. This can be done either with or without the use of
radar; radar allow a sector to handle much more traffic, however Procedural
control is used in many areas where traffic levels do not justify radar.
Procedural Control :- is a method of providing air traffic control service without the use of radar. A
system using calculation and position report of aircraft flying along the airways .

Conclusion
A
ir Traffic Controllers play an important role to prevent aircraft from colliding into
each other on airport operation.All the Rules ,regulations, Standard practices are
being recommended by ICAO depending on their classification
The Tower or Aerodrome position are split into many different position such as Flight
Data/Clearance Delivery, Ground Control and Local Control; at busier airport a limited radar
approach control position maybe needed. The roles of position are:-
Flight Data: issues IFR flight plan clearance, usually prior to taxi
Ground : issues taxi instruction and authorized movement at the airport
Local (Tower): issues take off and landing instruction/clearance
Controllers shall monitors visually the aircraft as they approach this positions so that the
appropriate clearance will be issued with out delay. Aircraft initiates call to taxi for departing
flight/taxi instruction. Take off clearance issued. Aircraft reports on downwind leg and
cleared to final. pilot will be given his position .Base leg report if requested. final report. Long
final .Taxiing and parking instruction issued. Aircraft flying VFR normally joined the
Aerodrome circuit at 1,500. When aircraft is on the cruising altitude the Area controllers will
take over guiding the aircraft . Area Control Center (ACC), also known as a Center, is a
facility responsible for controlling instrument flight rules aircraft en route in a particular
volume of airspace (a Flight Information Region) at high altitudes between airport approaches
and departures.
