Air Traffic Controller
The Air Traffic Controller is the person responsible for coordinating, directing, and guiding aircrafts through landing and takeoff.
air traffic controller - A person at an air traffic control tower or radar approach control facility who coordinates the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic within designated airspace.
air traffic management system - see TMS.
Air traffic controllers may separate departing aircraft by visual means after considering aircraft performance, wake turbulence, closure rate, routes of flight and known weather conditions.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER Ground-based personnel responsible for coordinating, directing, and guiding airplanes through their landing and takeoff procedures.
Air traffic controllers working within a Center communicate via radio with pilots of instrument flight rules aircraft passing through the Center's airspace.
All air traffic controllers work for the FAA and all must go through a screening process and rigorous training before they are certified to control airplanes.

ATPL Air Transport Pilot's Licence
C of A Certificate of Airworthiness (refers to the aircraft not the pilot!) ...
When air traffic controllers want to distinguish one airplane from another, they will temporarily assign the pilot a unique four-digit transponder code (some codes are reserved for special purposes).

ASDE-X enables air traffic controllers to detect potential runway conflicts by providing detailed coverage of movement on runways and taxiways.
Mode-A A transponder which does not give the controllers altitude information Mode-C A transponder and encoding altimeter which together give air traffic controllers altitude information Mode-S A new "flavor" of transponder which features unique ...
At stake is the cost to run a branch of the government, the FAA, which has approximately 14,500 air traffic controllers watching over almost 3,400 airports in 316 ATC facilities throughout the United States.
PRECISION RUNWAY MONITOR (PRM)- Provides air traffic controllers with high precision secondary surveillance data for aircraft on final approach to parallel runways that have extended centerlines separated by less than 4,300 feet.
Flight crews and air traffic controllers communicate by radio using VHF frequencies between108 and 137 megahertz.
Formally known as an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), it houses the air traffic controllers and equipment needed to identify and direct aircraft, primarily during the en route portion of their flights.
Essential Air Service ...
PAR - precision approach radar. Primary radar equipment showing an air traffic controller the height, track and range of an aircraft on final approach, enabling him to guide it to a landing.
pax - passengers.
A standard IFR departure route enabling air traffic controllers to issue abbreviated clearances and thus speed the flow of traffic.
SIGMET: Significant Meteorological Information.
Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) - A radar system which allows air traffic controllers to identify an arriving or departing aircraft's distance and direction from an airport.
Similarly: most flight instructors, air traffic controllers, and checkride examiners will complain immediately if you deviate from your assigned altitude, but they hardly ever seem to notice or care about airspeed excursions.
TRANSPONDER - An airborne transmitter that responds to ground-based interrogation signals to provide air traffic controllers with more accurate and reliable position information than would be possible with "passive" radar; ...
MODE-C
A transponder and encoding altimeter which together give air traffic controllers altitude information ...
Positive control - The separation of all air traffic within designated airspace as directed by air traffic controllers.
DEPENDENT SURVEILLENC BROADCAST (ADS-B) - A system by which airplanes constantly broadcast their location, speed, flight plan, type of aircraft and other information. This information is received by other aircraft and air traffic controllers.
path of aircraft traffic around an airfield, at an established height and direction. At tower-controlled fields the pattern is supervised by radio (or, in non-radio or emergency conditions by red and green light signals) by air traffic controllers.
