1. Introduction
From the ground, through the airwaves
and across the skies, good communication is the key to safety. Standardization of airport markings and signs make
for fewer ground incursions. Established methods of recording and accessing weather data allows pilots to better
ascertain the safety of their proposed flight. Common language insures that pilot-controller communication is clear
and easily understood. Guidelines required for filing a flight plan coupled with a well established method of tracking
flights once airborne assist air traffic controllers in monitoring the thousands of flights that navigate the airways.
Used together these methods provide an efficient system of communication.
