Description:

Since the last edition of abc Air Traffic Control in 2005, there have been many changes in the air traffic control industry in the UK and UK-related airways. Air traffic has continued to increase rapidly, resulting in more complex air traffic control systems that have to meet demand, as well as fulfilling safety and environment regulations. Covering current issues facing the air traffic control industry, the author looks at the establishment of the new London Control Centre at Swanwick in the beginning of 2008, and the problematic congestion plaguing the UK skies, particularly in the busy Southeast. Graham Duke is an authority in the study of air traffic control and in this latest volume he provides coverage of recent developments within the industry, and a glimpse into military air traffic control systems. This is the essential handbook for anyone interested in civil aviation and the operation of modern air traffic control practice.
