Air Traffic Control Handbook Summary

Air Traffic Control Handbook: The Complete Guide for All Aviation and Air Band Enthusiasts by David J. Smith

This is a reincarnation of the Air Band Radio Handbook, an essential reference book first published over 20 years ago and a stronger seller throughout its eight editions. The new title reflects not just the extent of overhaul and updating that has occurred for this new version, but also the fact that a larger proportion of the audience these days comprises air traffic controllers themselves (both trainees and fully qualified) as well as the traditional air band listening enthusiast. The expert author's accessible and comprehensive text explains the intricacies of air traffic control and its jargon, enabling the reader to locate and interpret what is actually going on in the airways overhead.

Table of Contents

Demystifies a very complex subject that is growing ever more specialised as technology develops. Four new chapters have been added for this comprehensive update: virtual radar systems, UFOs and air traffic control, careers in air traffic control, and hijackings. Virtual radar explained: it enables the enthusiast to see a picture of air traffic over a wide area in much the same way that the real controller views it on his display. All aspects of air traffic control covered: topics include terminology, types of airspace, navigation, weather, flight information, charts and documents. Detailed appendices list radio frequencies, aircraft type designators, aircraft radio call signs, beacons and reporting points.
