Analysis of Article

[edit]

While reading the Air Traffic Control article a few areas of concern with a hand full of issues. Firstly, was the unusual lack of historical information, it had fail to mention very important details about how the delicate pieces of Air Traffic have all come together. Secondly, is the standards of the article is currently not meeting what, Wikipedia expect for the highly trained editors.

Lastly, the addition of citations ans verification is needed. Sense Wikipedia dose not accept original content, the credible information must come from a verified souse. The information provided is scholarly but just lacks some of the vital verification need to be a hundred percent complete.

In 1921, Croydon Airport, London was the first airport in the world to introduce air traffic control.

History of ATC[Revised]

[edit]

In 1921, Croydon Airport, London was the first airport in the world to introduce air traffic control. The first Air Traffic Controller, Employed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), was Archie William League, in 1929. His tactic land planes, was to sit at the end of a runway near the threshold and use a flag to communicate with aircraft. In 1933, Larry Jewell, used the ALDIS light system, this was also called the "light gun" and would use this to interact with air craft that did not have radio communication. In 1935, The first radar rooms was established. In 1938, a big advancement in technology allowed Air Traffic Controllers to use: head sets, communications box, the teletype, and radio locators. By the 1980's nothing had really changed but the advancement in equipment, like RADAR that could track and know the whereabouts of each air craft in the sky.

Original Contribution

[edit]

The more modern history of Air Traffic in the 1990's, They had acquired more instruments to track aircraft faster, since the technology was gradually getting more advanced it allowed for more aircraft to entering the air ways. Due to this, it was said that the numbers air craft in the air would double every ten years. Over the span of 15 years a critical evolution in the tools used by the term "ATC modernization." One of the modernized pieces of equipment is the Eurocontrol, Center Flow Management Unit (CFMU) in Brussels. In 2005, temporarily leveled off, then when back up to 4-5% increases a year. That puts the all-ready-full skies up to 60% more populated with aircraft by 2015.
