United States v. Internation/TRACON
[edit]This is an excellent article which, AFAIK, describes how terminal control is done in many countries. However, I think that the acronym TRACON is is a US term for the more general Terminal Control Centre (spell the last word how you will), therefore I've added a sentence to show that it's US terminology.BaseTurnComplete 22:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, and I've changed the article to reflect a more global point of view. Feel free to make changes if anything I've done doesn't make sense. —Cleared as filed. 05:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
ATC Game
[edit]Wesson International used to make a game that shows the non-professional the basics of trying to do air traffic control. --User:David Jordan 03:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I noticed the following on the main page:
Arrival aircraft
[edit]Arrival aircraft are received from the en-route center in compliance with pre-determined agreements on routing, altitude, speed, spacing, etc. The Terminal Control Center controller working this traffic will take control of the aircraft and blend it with other aircraft entering the center airspace from other areas or "gates" into a single, parallel or perpendicular final for the runway. The spacing is critical to ensure the aircraft can land and clear the runway prior to the next aircraft touching down on the runway. The tower may also request expanded spacing between aircraft to allow aircraft to depart or to cross the runway in use. اجمل التهانى القلبية لمحمد زين حبيب قلبي ربنا يخليه ليا ياوحش الشاشة
- What does the arabic mean? Can we keep comments in English since that seems to be the predominate language? —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
Overflight aircraft
[edit]Overflight aircraft are aircraft that enter the Terminal Control Center airspace at one point and exit the airspace at another without landing at an airport. They must be controlled in a manner that ensures they remain separated from the climbing and descending traffic that is moving in and out of the airport. Their route may be altered to ensure this is possible. When they are returned to the en-route center, they must be on the original routing unless a change has been coordinated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

US Centric
[edit]This article has drifted back to being very US-centric again. Time for an internationalizing re-write.BaseTurnComplete (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
