National Airspace System: Air Traffic Control and Airspace Management Operational Concept NAS-SR-132
Abstract
The NAS has a responsibility to assist in the safe and efficient flow of traffic from departure aerodrome (or entrance to the system) to destination aerodrome (or exit from the system). It provides flight control services in the en route, terminal, and oceanic airspace. It also provides search and rescue services to locate lost aircraft. In order to exercise control of aircraft, the NAS must have information about the expected routes, times, altitudes of flight, and aircraft characteristics. It must also have information about current location, altitude, and track for each participating aircraft in the system. This concept, and the other seven operational concepts, will complete the description of the system requirements as described in the NASSRS. The eight operational concepts are: Communications (NAS-SR-136); Navigation (NAS-SR-134); Monitoring (NAS-SR-133); Maintenance and Support (NAS-SR-137); System Effectiveness (NAS-SR-138); Air Defense and Law Enforcement Surveillance (NAS-SR-135); Flight Planning (NAS-SR-131); and Air Traffic Control and Airspace Management (NAS-SR-132).
