The GCAA‚ which is the sole authority for the control and regulation of civil aviation in the UAE‚ is responsible for the provision of en-route air navigation services and all aspects of flight safety. In late 2009‚ the GCAA opened its new Air Navigation Centre‚ The Sheikh Zayed Centre‚ which is considered the largest and busiest air traffic management facility in the Middle East as well as one of the world’s most technically advanced centres

(Gupta‚ 2007). A soundly designed job encourages a variety of good body positions and helps foster feelings of achievement and self-esteem. Air Traffic Controllers The people who operate the air traffic control system to accelerate and maintain an orderly and safe flow of air traffic are called the Air traffic controllers. They help in preventing mid-air collisions of the planes. The ATC’s apply such separation rules that help in keeping each aircraft at a distance from others in their area of

Planning is a specialized phase of air development before design can begin. The most efficient plan for an airport is that which provides the required capacity for aircrafts‚ passenger cargo‚ and vehicle movements‚ with maximum passenger‚ operator & staff convenience at lowest capital & operating costs. Flexibility & expandability should be considered in conjunction and are fundamental to all aspects of planning. Unlike rail‚ road and water transportation‚ air transportation has yet not reached

the future of air traffic control‚ these human factors issues need to be highlighted and resolved before full implementation of the system. ADS-B technology affords the opportunity for reduced separation standards‚ increased capacity and efficiency of flight operations‚ and it provides for greater airspace flexibility while maintaining or enhancing the quality of our environment. ADS-B monitoring will be an additional task for pilots to manage but the greater accuracy of traffic information over

this is not caused directly by the weather. Rather‚ the severe weather affects some micro operations which in turn cause problems in other micro operations. This creates an operational ’chain reaction’‚ which is illustrated in Attachment 3. Air Traffic Control (ATC) reacts to the severe weather first by closing and later reopening the airfield. This micro operation then uses the limited flexibility of its operations by rescheduling aircraft take-off and landing slots. Meanwhile‚ on the airfield itself

airspace boundaries‚ not being able to pick out local landmarks based on a section chart‚ understanding urban settings‚ strict noise abatement procedures and identifying different airspace classes. When you add in rapid-fire communications‚ high traffic flows and the complexity of a new patch of airspace‚ the challenges become much greater. The article suggests pilots being better prepared may mitigate these obstacles. This entails making sure the charts have proper scaling to signify key landmarks
