	Air traffic control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When controllers are responsible for separating some or all aircraft, such airspace is called "controlled airspace" in contrast to "uncontrolled airspace." Depending on the type of flight and the class of airspace, ATC may issue instructions that pilots are required to follow, or merely advisories to assist pilots operating in the airspace.
		Tower controllers are responsible for the separation and efficient movement of aircraft and vehicles operating on the taxiways and runways of the airport itself, and aircraft in the air near the airport, generally 2 to 5 nautical miles (4 to 9 km) depending on the airport procedures.
		En-route Air Traffic Controllers issue clearances and instructions for airborne aircraft, and pilots are required to comply with these instructions.

	Control tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A control tower (ATCT) is part of an airport from which "Tower" or "Aerodrome" Air Traffic Control is conducted.
		Control towers generally rise high above other structures at the airport to give air traffic controllers a view of aircraft moving on the ground and in the air around the airport.
		Small airports may have only one controller staffing the control tower, and may not keep the tower open 24 hours per day.

	CNN - NTSB crash investigators analyze control tower tape - June 6, 1999
		LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (CNN)-- NTSB investigators have reviewed a surveillance tape from the control tower of the Little Rock International Airport in an attempt to determine what role weather played in the crash of an American Airlines jet.
		The tape, taken from outside the tower, indicates that one minute before the crash, there was heavy rain, as well as heavy winds and lightning.
		Because the engines on an MD-82 are close to the fuselage, engaging the thrusters affects how well the pilot can control the rudder, and turning them off gives the pilot better control, he told investigators.
