| This chapter explains the methods used for safely
adjusting the flow of air traffic at and near airports, and discusses the
major traffic services and landing approach aids that are available to the
pilot at the busier terminal areas.
Just as roads and streets are needed in order to utilize automobiles,
airports, or airstrips are needed to utilize airplanes. Every flight
begins and ends at an airport or other suitable landing field. For that
reason, it is essential that the pilot learn the traffic rules, traffic
control procedures, traffic advisory services, and traffic pattern layouts
that may be in use at various airports. |
