An air traffic controller is responsible for ensuring the safe navigation of aircraft. The duties of air traffic controllers include:
1. Coordinate aircraft movements to keep a safe distance between them in the air.
2. Make sure that airplanes are safe before takeoff, during landing, and while in the air.
3. To convey information and instructions to aircraft pilots, use radio and radar communication.
4. Track an aircraft's precise location and provide the quickest route using radar. To become an air traffic controller in India, you must pass the exam administered by the Airports Authority of India. -
Air traffic controllers' primary concern is safety, but they also must direct aircraft efficiently to minimize delays. They manage the flow of aircraft into and out of the airport airspace, guide pilots during takeoff and landing, and monitor aircraft as they travel through the skies.
