INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
Management of the World's Airspace

ARNOLD FIELD OBE

PERGAMON PRESS
1985

First edition, signed and inscribed.

This book fills a vital gap in literature on Air Traffic Control. It gives an insight into the UK ATC system including systems and principles, and airspace management, which also have worldwide application. The most recent advances are discussed including application of secondary surveillance radar, application of automation, airborne threat alert and collision avoidance systems Mode 'S' and Monopulse SSR. Arnold Field examines collaboration between civil and military authorities, both for safety reasons and to ensure economic use of national resources. The latest communications technique and standard phraseology, published by ICAO in 1984, is also included.
