Air traffic control system - an automated service provided by ground services for air traffic control (see air traffic controller ).
The task of the system is to conduct aircraft through their area of ββresponsibility in such a way as to exclude their dangerous approach horizontally and vertically. The secondary task is to regulate the flow of aircraft and bring the necessary information to crews, including weather reports and navigation parameters.
In many countries, air traffic control systems regulate aircraft of all classes β private, civilian and military. Depending on each specific flight and type of vessel, the ATCM can give various instructions that are mandatory for the crew of this vessel, or simply provide the necessary flight information (including recommendatory nature). In any case, the crew is responsible for the safety of its flight and may deviate from the instructions received in emergency situations .

Air traffic control complex - a set of services, structures and technical facilities on the territory of the aerodrome , designed to directly provide for the take-off , landing and taxiing of aircraft ( aircraft , helicopters and gliders ).
1. Traffic service. Workplaces of personnel (air traffic control dispatchers ) equipped with one or another equipment (from binoculars and radio stations to automated workstations based on high-speed computer systems) are located in the building of the command and control center (CCP), which is usually located near the platform at a good overview of the entire airfield, runways, taxiways and parking lots, and at a number of aerodromes - additionally in the buildings of the starting control centers (SDP) located near the grounding (away from the runway to its mid 250-300 m and at a distance of 120-160 m from the runway centerline).
2. Flight radio-technical flight support service - radio systems that allow aircraft crews to communicate with the ground, determine their location in a particular coordinate system and maintain specified maneuvering trajectories in the area of ββthe aerodrome, as well as approach, landing, take-off and exit area of ββthe aerodrome. Usually includes:
- radio stations of various capacities and ranges;
- radar stations;
- beacons ;
- ground-based components of navigation systems;
- radio equipment for approach.
3. Flight lighting service: lighting equipment for runways and taxiways.
4. Meteorological service. Equipment for monitoring the actual weather at the aerodrome, followed by the transmission of these data (via ATIS , VOLMET and other radio channels) to the crews of aircraft taking off or landing at the aerodrome, and to air traffic controllers. At small aerodromes, meteorological equipment (sensors for measuring wind parameters, horizontal visibility, cloud cover, temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, etc.) are located on the meteorological site near the air traffic control, and at large aerodromes - at several points on the airfield (at the ends of the runway , near the middle of the runway, etc.).
5. Navigation service.
6. Aeronautical information service.
An important component of the information support of the air traffic control complex is the Aviation Fixed Telecommunication Network ( AFN ).
