8.2 Air Traffic Control Entities

          

            The airline industry, in my perspective, is highly fragmented. Flight data and local control are essential for the safety of the pilot, the aircraft, and the passengers on board. Tower's role is quite different, but it is also very similar in certain aspects to those of the other characters. Security is critical in the aviation industry, and both jobs have an impact on this element. Ground and local controls, emergency reporting agencies, and other facilities such as departure and approach are among the key responsibilities of flight data. Flight data can be the most challenging area in the tower to work with because it is always recording information and becomes overburdened when the relay calls for it. Contingent aircraft in need of medical or fire rescue assistance rely on control of the flight data location to send information as quickly and efficiently as possible. Flight control is the responsibility of the local control agency for all aircraft that take off and land on active runways, as well as for any aircraft that lands in specified airspace (Air traffic Control, n.d.).

             The function of the local controller or tower controller is often the most difficult and stressful in the tower, and it is also the most visible. The position necessitates a high degree of concentration throughout the day to ensure separation and safety. Local control connects with any aircraft requesting clearances, any aircraft relaying emergencies, and any other relevant information through the use of flight data transmissions. Airplanes report emergency circumstances that require evacuation, as well as any other information they may have, to local controllers who are allocated to each aircraft in turn.
