Webinar on Enroute Air Traffic Control - ATC in the World of Contrails

Overview: 

The initial subject focuses on the primary control positions located in the ARTCC. Each position is discussed to identify the responsibility of the control position and the types of control strategies that are employed to safely and efficiently manage and separate aircraft operating in ARTCC airspace.

The next topic addresses the airspace structure within the ARTCC, including the internal sectorization that subdivides the airspace into manageable sizes and configurations. That is followed by a discussion of the way high volumes of aircraft are managed and controlled to create order out of the chaos an unstructured and undisciplined flow of aircraft would generate. 

Why should you Attend: 

For most people, the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) is the least known of all air traffic control (ATC) facilities. The ARTCC is primarily focused on providing high altitude aircraft separation services to aircraft during the enroute phase of flight. It also performs all ATC functions in the absence of an Airport Traffic Control Tower or terminal Radar Approach Control.
