International Air Traffic Control: Management of the World's Airspace

By Arnold Field

This book fills a vital gap in the literature on air traffic control. It gives an insight into the UK ATC system, including systems and principles and airspace management, which also has a worldwide application. The most recent advances are discussed including application of secondary surveillance radar, application of automation, airborne threat alert and collision avoidance systems - Mode 'S' and Monopulse SSR. Arnold Field also examines the collaboration, for safety reasons and to ensure the most economic use of national resources, between civil and military authorities.
