	IFATCA
		Amongst its goals are the promotion of safety, regularity in international air navigation, and the protection and safeguarding of the interests of the Air Traffic Control profession.
		To assist and advise in the development of safe and orderly systems of air traffic control and new procedures and facilities.
		To closely cooperate with international and national aviation authorities and institutions concerned with air navigation.

	Qualification Standards for GS-2152
		Air traffic control specialists in all specializations must possess or obtain, within uniformly applicable time limits, the facility ratings required for full performance at the facility where the position is located.
		Facility ratings require demonstration of a knowledge of the kind and location of radio aids to air navigation, the terrain, the landmarks, the communications systems and circuits, and the procedures peculiar to the area covered by the facility.
		The physical impairments/medical conditions that follow, unless otherwise noted, are disqualifying because there are medical and/or management reasons to conclude that an individual with such impairment/condition cannot perform the duties of the position without unacceptable risk to his or her own health, or to the health or safety of others (employees or the public).

		Air traffic has definitely recovered after the temporary slowdown following the down turn of the world economy in general and the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001.
		Estimates are that air traffic will grow by 4% a year over the next 15 years, leading to a nearby doubling of traffic by 2020.
		Air traffic is already hitting monthly record numbers and 2004 will most likely be a record year in terms of air traffic.

	Stress prevention in air traffic control
		Air traffic controllers are widely recognized as an occupational group which has to cope with a highly demanding job that involves a complex series of tasks, requiring high levels of knowledge and expertise, combined with high levels of responsibility, not only with regard to risking lives, but also the high economic costs of aeronautical activities.
		Air traffic controllers are also among the groups of workers who are most exposed to critical accidents which cause unusually strong emotional reactions, such as air accidents with loss of life or serious injury, near collisions or loss of control due to overload.
		Air traffic controllers have to pass regular physical tests in order to retain their operating licence, which provides them with an added motivation to maintain themselves in good physical condition.

	How to get an Air Traffic Control Job
		The air traffic control specialists at FAA air route traffic control centers give pilots instructions, air traffic clearances, and advice regarding flight conditions along the flight path, while the pilot is flying the federal airways or operating into airports without towers.
		Because of the wide variation in air traffic control duties and ratings, you should first consult the FAA jobs web site for current job openings, or call the region where you want to live to see if that region is accepting applications.
		Because of the wide variation in air traffic control duties and ratings, if you are a military controller seeking civilian employment you should first consult the FAA jobs web site for current job openings, or call the region where you want to live to see if that region is accepting applications.

		The development of civil aviation has shown that it is necessary to draw up international regulations which guarantee that civil aviation and the air traffic infrastructure comply with the same Standards.
		It is therefore the intention of Articles 26, 37 and 38 of the Chicago Agreement that signatory states are obliged to comply with recommendations and directives issued by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), as long as they do not contradict their own laws.
		As a supervisory authority could be involved in the actual root cause of an air accident, by issuing inappropriate regulations or by failing in its obligations, a separation of influence is appropriate here.

		Certification of air traffic, navigation, and communication systems, as well as operational acceptance by FAA and industry, is a prime focus of the demonstration.
		With the wide-spread use of satellite-based navigation, overall integrity and availability issues need to be resolved, such as for the case of selecting alternate airports when satellite navigation does not support the needed landing capability for the primary destination airport.
		Air traffic restrictions are only imposed to ensure separation, to preclude exceeding airport capacity, to prevent unauthorized flight through Special Use Airspace (SUA), and to ensure safety of flight.

	Subject Listing for Air transportation
		Air transport delays in Europe are a major concern for the industry and a relentless source of complaints from the passengers, as often verified in the media.
		Air transport delay is a very complex phenomenon and needs investigations for a better appraisal of the various costs involved, as well as the information needed to analyse and evaluate them.
		Whilst recognising that air transport is a driver for economic and social development, the weight given to each of the three pillars by the different actors largely reflects the “political” message that they wish to disseminate.

		Of all forms of transport, air travel has seen by far the most impressive growth in the European Union over the last twenty years.
		However, there is another side to the coin: the boom in air travel is exacerbating problems relating to the saturation levels reached at airports and the overloaded air traffic control system.
		The Commission's work programme in the field of air transport is intended to tackle these issues.

		We all intuitively know what Aviation Navigation means—it means knowing where you are, where you want to go, and having a good idea of how much time and fuel it will take to get there.
		Dead reckoning is the navigation procedure to plot and fly (in this case) a course based solely on mathematical calculations.
		Ask a pilot how he intends to navigate to his destination, and if he says "by Dead Reckoning," one knows that he also intends to look out the window at the ground features to check his progress.

	Welcome to RTCA, Inc.
		Its recommendations are used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as the basis for policy, program, and regulatory decisions and by the private sector as the basis for development, investment, and other business decisions.
		When aviation communications, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) issues surface or when related operational concepts begin to evolve, RTCA is frequently asked to form a committee to consider the topic and provide recommendations.
		The organization was awarded the 1949 Collier Trophy for "A guide plan for the development of a system of air navigation and traffic control for safe and unlimited aircraft operations under all weather conditions." Additionally, in 1994, the FAA named RTCA, Inc. as the U.S. recipient of the ICAO 50th anniversary Medal of Honour.
