Air traffic control rooms are strategic nerve centres in the aviation industry. Subject to many Hollywood films, and shrouded in mystery, this guide uncovers some of the most intriguing aspects of air traffic control rooms. What do air traffic controllers do? What technology is used?

For whatever reason, during its takeoff roll, the jet took up the entire length of the runway, and only rotated meters before the end of the runway. The video footage is pretty dramatic, as you can see that the jet takes off at the “piano keys.” This runway is 6,173 feet (or 1,883 meters) long. What could cause an incident like this?

Jet (and turboprop) turbine engines work more efficiently, and burn less fuel, at higher altitudes where the air is less dense. Depending on other traffic ahead, not least at the destination, air traffic controllers (ATC) will clear the flight to descend in stages, to be level at certain waypoints on the arrival route.

Key Takeaways A holding pattern keeps an aircraft in a controlled area using a racetrack-shaped course. Pilots use holds for traffic delays, weather, emergencies, planning, or runway changes. By asking aircraft to take up a holding pattern, airport authorities can easily manage traffic flow predictably. Want an example?

This is because, for Westbound flight, the plane is flying against the jet stream whereas for the Eastbound return flight the aircraft has the benefit of a tail wind. Flight duration varies depending on factors like winds, air traffic control routing, and departure delays. Economic considerations also play a role.

The pilots enter a four-digit code into the transponder, which might be assigned by air traffic control to identify that particular aircraft or might be a general code showing what type of flight it is.

Summer weather wreaks havoc on the entire system. Each jet flies multiple flights each day so if there is rough weather anywhere on its scheduled routing, the cascade of delays begin. The airlines cannot forecast weather months in advance so they do the best they can for efficiency. Pay extra to go direct.
