2.1 Air Traffic Control
Air traffic control is the service provided by the air traffic controllers who are responsible for assisting, dispatching and maintaining a secure, safe and systematic flow of air traffic.[6] According to Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Malaysia, safety is a principal matter of preventing collision between aircraft with other aircraft, assisting aircraft in avoiding hazardous weather, assuring that aircraft do not operate in airspace where operations are prohibited such as in military training airspace, and assisting aircraft in distress. Orderly and smooth flow directed by the air traffic controllers will assure the efficiency of aircraft operations along the routes selected during the flight time. It is provided …show more content…
The information is based on the particular airplane such as call sign, planned route, filed airspeed, assigned altitude, estimated time departure and arrival, and others.[11] The strips depend on the air traffic condition in a particular time. If it is on the packed flight schedules, the en-route controllers will have to manage all of the flight strips simultaneously. Apart from that high-pressure works, there were regression models from previous studies that have been developed to predict flight progress strip activities (writing, manipulating, and looking) at different levels of traffic complexity for individually and also for the controllers team.[12] In the DCA Control Centre Subang, the controllers are differentiating the flight strips with the colour of its holder. The yellow colour of strip holder indicates for inbound aircrafts while the blue colour indicates for the outbound aircrafts in all sectors of KL FIR. During their control work, the controllers usually slanted some of the strip holder in the procedural bay indicating that the related aircraft does not have complete flight information yet from the pilots, so the difference in the arrangement of strip holders on the bay is alerting the controller and ease their job to ensure the safety for all aircrafts flying in …show more content…
Nevertheless, the air traffic control of DCA Malaysia is directing towards the ‘stripless’ goal in 3 years from now, which means that the controllers are going to use the electronic flight strip (EFS) or electronic data display (EDD) as primary control tool with reference to the radar
