The organization of aircraft movement during take-off, landing, movement, and emergency management is known as air navigation control. Real-life scenarios, like as weather variations and aircraft kinds, are entirely made up and simulated.

The air controller is the backbone of the air navigation system and is in charge of everything from engine management to engine shutdown. Pilots follow the orders of an air controller, who works with planes using established regulations, procedures, rules, and applications.

An air traffic controller is a person who screens, endlessly controls the development of on the ground airplanes and in provincial airspace. They pass data on atmospheric conditions, heights, and bearings, help and guide pilots on landing and take-off, oversee subordinates and foster their abilities.
