The BDA tower controller and ZNY center controller are always in close contact. Remote radio transmitters and air traffic radar coverage at the airport also link Bermuda and New York Center. A modern Doppler Weather radar with a 150-mile (240 km) range was built by the DAO in 2005.
air traffic services (ATS) including air traffic control (ATC), air traffic advisory services, flight information services and alerting services, airspace management (ASM), the purpose of which is to allocate air routes, zones, flight levels to different airspace users and the airspace structure, and
Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) is a runway-safety tool that displays aircraft and ground vehicles on the airport surface, as well as aircraft on approach and departure paths within a few miles of the airport. The tool allows air traffic controllers and air crew in cockpits equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast ...
A strip bay at a high-altitude procedural area control sector in Indonesia. A flight progress strip or flight strip [1] is a small strip of paper used to track a flight in air traffic control (ATC). While it has been supplemented by more technologically advanced methods of flight tracking since its introduction, it is still used in modern ATC ...
An air navigation service provider (ANSP) is a public or a private legal entity providing Air Navigation Services. [1] It manages air traffic on behalf of a company, region or country. Depending on the specific mandate, an ANSP provides one or more of the following services to airspace users: Air traffic management (ATM)
The Surveillance ATSSs are responsible for the operation and maintenance of short and long-range air and surface radars, secondary beacons, weather, and Global Positioning Satellite transceivers systems such as the Airport Surveillance Radar Model-9 (ASR-9), Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR), Mode Select Beacon System (MODE-S), Airport ...
ASR-9 is an airport surveillance radar system admitted into the National Airspace System (NAS), to be utilized by the Federal Aviation Administration to monitor civilian and commercial air traffic within the United States. Developed by Westinghouse, ASR-9 was the first radar system to display air traffic, and weather conditions simultaneously.
Free flight is a developing air traffic control method that uses no centralized control (e.g. air traffic controllers). Instead, parts of airspace are reserved dynamically and automatically in a distributed way using computer communication to ensure the required separation between aircraft.
