Air Route Traffic Control
Center (ARTCC)
Also known, in brief, as 'Center', this is the facility
established to provide air traffic control service to aircraft
operating on IFR flight plans within controlled airspace and
principally during the en route phase of flight. When equipment
capabilities and controller workload permit, certain
advisory/assistance services may be provided to VFR aircraft.
Aero-Linx: Greg Poe
Airshows
It’s all in a day’s work for Greg Poe. He’s a
world-class aerobatic pilot and FAA certified flight instructor,
the ACE Committee Chairman as well as an ICAS ACE (aerobatic
competency evaluator). Through passion, athletic ability,
technology, creativity and showmanship, Greg Poe continues to
electrify audiences by performing the impossible.
“Unless there is a huge upturn in business travel
propensity and spending, it’s inevitable there will be
further cutbacks in capacity on the international side. You can
clearly fill up the airplane with cheap fares, but that
doesn’t get you the economics you want. The maximum revenue
is just less than you’d hoped. It doesn’t necessarily
get you to a positive bottom line.”
